If someone paid your company $240M, even with shoddy oversight, knowing that the health of millions of people depends on reasonable engineering (one website), you'd deliver a decent website.
This is appalling. The fact that so many here are jaded - I'm jaded too - doesn't change the fact that if you take $240M of a customer's money, you'd deliver a website.
- robryan 12y agoIt depends what the contract is exactly. We all know the Oracle isn't some altruistic company who is going to take losses out of any kind of moral obligation.
- poof131 12y agoI agree. To companies it's just business, but I will forever view HP as a degenerate company that deserves to go bankrupt for the rapacious deal it carved out from the U.S. Navy for NMCI.[1] It's not just business for the people in government, especially those putting their lives on the line. If Oracle can't build a website for $240M it should go bankrupt too. Who cares about people getting healthcare when we can rack up costs. Go Sales!
