GSA awards software development pact
The General Services Administration last week awarded a contract to develop a package of software tools based on an innovative theory to help manage the federal buildings and property under its control. GSA's Public Buildings Service awarded a $15 million contract to 3H Technology, a subsidiary of QinetiQ North America, to build the so-called eCommon framework that will automate many of the tasks related to building, leasing and maintaining office space. The Public Buildings Service is the largest public real estate organization in the United States, managing more than 342 million square feet of workspace for federal employees living in 2,100 communities. The contract calls for 3H to develop a service-oriented architecture as part of the framework. SOA has been an increasingly popular movement in software development, focusing on using a common approach to develop tools and applications rather than allowing different divisions and offices within an organization to pursue their own software solutions for similar tasks.

THIS LEGISLATION ENDS THE POSSIBILITY OF A CULTURE OF REASON. It is an attempt at legislative lobotomy of conscience. It aims to eviscerate ethical sensibilities of an entire culture.
Having usurped the power of war and peace, life and death, the Corporatocracy now bludgeons even the thought of speaking for conscience. This is State murder of the mind.
It is just too awesomely obscene for words. It exceeds not only the scope of my vocabulary, but my imagination as well. The minions and hired agents of politicians are free to murder, rape and pillage on government hire using our money, but to imagine alternatives to them and the degraded, psychopathic political "leaders" who design and perpetrate these atrocities is legislated as a thought crime! This is the legislated, politically promulgated end of man as a thinking, self-directed being.
