    More EDS Woes!

    http://www.itproportal.com/articles/...ers-1-billion/

    I used to think it was something personal as virtually every EDS project I was on , cocked up massivley. Luckily I left a few years ago and nothing has changed.
    Who has time? Who has time? But then if we do not ever take time, how can we ever have time?

          Get yourself into a government project and get some of your taxes back. I’m at a bank getting some of my taxes back.

                  Well I don't recall any gubmit projects which make cash or are there to snoop being reported as going over budget. Speed cameras? CCTV? Nope.
