Summary from Slashdot:
[release]"An Information Week article warns that the computer systems that run the Social Security Administration may collapse by 2012 due to increased workload, and a half-billion-dollar upgrade won't be ready until 2015. One of the biggest problems is the agency's transition to a new data center, according to a report (PDF) by the SSA's Inspector General. The IG has characterized the replacement of the SSA's National Computer Center — built in 1979 — as the SSA's 'primary IT investment' in the next few years."[/release]
They're gonna upgrade to Windows Me
Finally, I am not a number! :unsmith:
All because of a computer system? Interesting..
They still fucking use COBOL I'm not suprised.
Good, maybe now we'll get rid of America.
No offense to the smart ones, but even Texas gives enough justification to nuke you guys.

Keep thinking that, Number Six.
they aren't even that good looking
butterfaces
Butterfaces? And the Winter war? Yawn.
I remember hearing about this and laughing at how they were still using computers from the 70's and 80's for most of the stuff.
It's nice to have a system that is built to last several decades but when it comes to migrating to the next system, shit flys everywhere.
I bet the now retired technitians who first ran the thing are laughing.

To be honest, if it works, why change it?
Then again, GSM works, but the encryption just got fucked up the ass and it should be fixed, but most likely won't be.
Their solution? Repeat the entire process again! see you in 2021
