Healthcare.gov testing versus Video Game testing

So what you have here is a program with 5 million lines of code that only underwent two weeks of "alpha" testing with no real beta testing.

By comparison, Starcraft 2 is at most 1/5th as big in terms of code and was beta tested for 5 months and was alpha tested by the developers for even longer. That's fairly typical for major video game releases. It can take a while to make large programs "clean" to the point to where they run smoothly. Why is it that with the magic vault our federal government has that never runs out of money we can't build a fvcking website that works?

Clearly Kathleen Sebelius has failed us. God help us if we are relying on this administration to minimize cyber security threats. :ohno:

Hell, they could have copied the FEHBP web site and saved themselves a lot of money and embarrassment.

Bronco, don't worry, Obama's transparency will allow for all of this to be explained.
