IT experts on Healthcare.gov website’s problems: “The site basically DDOS’d itself”. DDOS=Distributed Denial Of Service, computer-speak for “the POS was so badly put together, it hosed itself.” Yep, they’re the bestest and the brightestest and they’re gonna run your healthcare ’cause they’re eleventy-times smarter than you.

  • *sighs* Government has its uses but we need to realize that it has its limitations and we need to be the ones that remind govt of its limitations. We ain't doing it and that is why we end up with crap. I mean seriously what happened? Someone budgeted 100 million dollars for this and paid out 50 and pocketed the rest? Considering how awful it is 50 million was still too much. Disgusting.

  • Obama HellCare computers are attacking their servers like the Obama Regime is attacking the country and its citizens.

  • I bet clicking on that website will cause your computer to halt due to all the spyware, just wait until the hackers get a hold of it.

    • ^ That... is scary and another incentive to stay the hell away...

      Foreign govts will probably be loving this and how to get in on this website to spy or steal from ppl. Certain things usually takes 10 years to get rid of bugs and make sure it works properly. This seems to be one of those things. In the meantime we are going broke and there will be helluva problems.
