$350 million or so spent on health insurance exchange spftware that
isn't working properly yet and the Republicans are losing their minds.
But?$400 Billion spent on the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter that doesn?t
work and no one seems to need, and the Republicans don?t say a word.

HUGE difference. Developing and prototyping a Military Fighter is
nothing like writing a simple database... especially when you consider
most if not all of the code is out there already, just needs to be
compiled... A very dedicated high school student could probably write
the site as a senior project in a couple semesters....


Yeah, because I can tell you have the expertise to make such
pronouncements by the quality, snazzy features, and purloined copy and
photos on your amateurish iDesign website that apparently hasn't been
updated for many years.

Show us something better, that you designed.

I seriously doubt harry has done anything more than organize his movie
collection and post to usenet, he's real good at posting to usenet...


I'm not stupid enough to post the URLs of websites I've designed or
manage or both in this snake pit of jerks who would like nothing better
than to create problems for other users.

Apparently your buddy FlaJim thinks his posts to usenet need virus
scanning. What they really need is stench scanning.

You posted pictures and text to a web page with standard web building
software. You did not write the software. Scotty could not write the code
to run the ACA software either. But there is already millions of dollars
in software that could do the job. The Government could have just leased
the software and support for a lot less money. There is probably only 3
different company's programs out there now for the insurance companies to
use for registering new customers. Why try to reinvent the wheel?


"I" could not have written it, but I know about 8 people I would bring in
on the project and they could get it done... I am not the programmer, my
wife is and her "team" from years ago did a lot of pretty cool stuff back
when on line merchandizing was coming into being.... And as to
registering and securing, we did just such a database for Prudential
Personnel Services, over a decade ago. Ultimate security as it was a HR
type service which rated White Collar Employees, thousands of users would
hit it at once and expect queried results, in minutes...... that project
was myself, my wife, and a crazy programmer named only "mr moon"...
So, maybe "Scotty" and co are capable of a bit more than you might
think.... Besides, like I said before... All the code is out there now,
just have to compile it and make it work together.... A HS senior with a
couple nerds and some time could do it...

Bull. This is both a massive database and search tree setup. If you could
write a program like this with 10 people, you could put SAP and Oracle out
of business.

As well as Microsoft, SUN, Yahoo, Google, and on and on!
