IT experts question architecture of Obamacare website - Canadians having to Apologise Again - eh?
Quote:
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, which oversaw development of the site, declined to make any of its IT experts available for interviews. CGI Group Inc, the Canadian contractor that built HealthCare.gov, is "declining to comment at this time," said spokeswoman Linda Odorisio.
.... He said because so much traffic was going back and forth between the users' computers and the server hosting the government website, it was as if the system was attacking itself.
Hancock described the situation as similar to what happens when hackers conduct a distributed denial of service, or DDOS, attack on a website: they get large numbers of computers to simultaneously request information from the server that runs a website, overwhelming it and causing it to crash or otherwise stumble. "The site basically DDOS'd itself," he said.
I especially love this part ...

It is not clear why the upload function was included. --
I couldn't, at first figure out why my computer was being scanned by the Healthcare.gov website .. My ATV security even threw up a few warnings, during my visit. I wonder what would be so important on my local machine that the gov would find themselves having to go through my files ..
It's nice to know that even the American gov't is outsourcing our tax payer money! Could they not have kept those jobs within the US of A?
I think they sort of had to outsource it to a foreign company tho' .. I don't think an American based IT Company would have been willing to install of the quasi spying capabilities that the healthcare.gov site has.
Canadians? Did they have Canadian beta-testers? Canadians are slow because of the cold. They have to stop to rub their hands together for warmth every few fields on a form. We Americans type faster and think faster. They should have hired Indians to program it. Everyone knows that Indian programmers are the best in the world - that is why we are bringing so many to the US to take jobs from our own IT grads.

ha ha ha ha ha.
Hope everyone who worked on this chokes to death on their dinners. In the material world, that's sort of what their system is doing.

Somebodies watching you, recording every key stroke. You better praise king Obama or they'll sick the IRS on you. It doesn't matter how much you make and pay, you'll have to spend money to defend yourself, you do have the right to be a fool and defend yourself.
