My limited experience with government programming       shops and web applications would be that, due to the pay gap vs. private       industry, the talent pool would be limited.              They'd either wind up with something not too secure or some "closed       source" application that was created "for government use" by a third-party.              That experience comes from watching employee turn over rates, and also from       working on disaster recovery exercises, where your inadvertantly learn some       things about what the web apps are doing in the background (like making       calls to servers for CSS, etc., that are outside of the government server       network). Lots of "no-nos" can be exposed when doing disaster recovery on       a closed network. ;)              Mike                      * SLMR 2.1a * (((((This message in Stereo where available)))))       --- SBBSecho 3.20-Linux        * Origin: capitolcityonline.net * Telnet/SSH:2022/HTTP (1:2320/105)       SEEN-BY: 105/81 106/201 128/187 129/14 305 153/7715 154/110 218/700       SEEN-BY: 226/30 227/114 229/110 111 114 206 300 307 317 400 426 428       SEEN-BY: 229/470 664 700 705 266/512 291/111 320/219 322/757 342/200       SEEN-BY: 396/45 460/58 712/848 902/26 2320/0 105 304 3634/12 5075/35       PATH: 2320/105 229/426           |
