Blog: Ya' think??
** John McAfee, founder of McAfee anti-virus software, told Gretchen Carlson of Fox News Thursday that the ObamaCare federal exchange website, Healthcare.gov, is effectively executing a “denial of service attack” on itself.
In computer technology, a “denial of service attack” is an attempt to make a network resource unavailable to its intended users. It is defined as a deliberately planned attack on a company or organization, websites, or servers. A denial of service attack aims to shut down access to a site or key server by flooding it with massive requests, placing such great demands on the targeted information infrastructure that no one else can gain access to it.
Asked by Carlson whether a decision to require consumers to actually register their personal information online rather than simply shop for health insurance could have caused the federal system’s “crash and burn,” McAfee responded, “I don’t think so. I think the crash and burn was caused by an inherent architecture.”
According to McAfee, the ObamaCare website’s design is such that “the way they divided the processing tasks, the user’s computer is used for over 50 programs. So, the transfer of data between the person logging on and the main servers is basically killing the system.”
“It’s basically doing a denial of service attack on itself. It is a very bizarre situation,” McAfee said. “Interesting, academically, but not very useful.”

** MCAFEE: 'BIZARRE' HEALTHCARE.GOV DOING 'DENIAL OF SERVICE ATTACK ON ITSELF'
*** I was in computer application development for 30 years. We set aside 1/3 of the development time for testing alone. We tried our best to brake the system before the customer ever saw it. Then the customer testers went to work trying to break it.
All bugs were fixed before the app was released for use. I don't think this was done for Obamacare and it shows. There's no wiggling out of it.
{There should always be some wiggle room in order to make any needed adjustments!} Anything else is a sure fire plan for a crash and burn scenerio!
======================================================
*** I worked for over 30 years in the Computer Power System Industry {Mission Critical Uninterrupied Power System} and agree with " calmvoice" that with any new complicated product; there always needs to have a complete check out {usually taking years}and total field testing before it is ever introduced for general use!
The equipment we worked with backed up everything from most all major computers system, which is used by:
- The Military, facilities, weapons and combate control,
- The Fed Gov't {Including the critical Red phone system},
- Much of the Natl Power Grid plus Nuclear power plants,
- NASA plus most of the Space bases,
- Many major manufacturing plants,
- State & local facilities,
- Even the Natl emergency responce system...
- Plus many of the Major Computer Systems in the US and other parts of the world!
*BTW: Just to mention, why we did not just throw something together and let it sink or swim! Plus there was a continual upgrade and support, with improvments and updates as needed!
Once you are operating in a mission critical environment: the present Gov't Natl Health System does not meet even the minimum parameters of a sucessful endevor!
i.e. this is a cluster of crap which is better know as a major failure, in any sane engineer's mind!
** How does such a complete untested bunch of hastely compiled crap which has been forced upon the unsepecting tax paying public? By group of political people who are above it and will not be paying for it!
