Folks:
Thought that many on this list might find this amusing, perhaps even a bit
relevant. Hope it's OK:
************
WASHINGTON - The government's estimate of the number of Americans without
health insurance fell by nearly 2 million Friday, but not because anyone got
health coverage.
The Census Bureau
<http://search.news.yahoo.com/search/news/?p=Census+Bureau> said it has
been overstating the number of people without health insurance since 1995.
The bureau blamed the inflated numbers on a **12-year-old computer
programming error**.[emphasis added -- BG]
**************
So what does "validated software" really mean? (Rhetorical question -- no
reply sought).
Cheers to all,
