The National Security Agency's $2 billion mega spy center is going up in flames.
Technical glitches have sparked fiery explosions within the NSA's newest and largest data storage facility in Utah, destroying hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of equipment, and delaying the facility's opening by one year.
And no one seems to know how to fix it.

Well, when you’ve only spent $2 billion dollars building it, you can’t expect it to last forever.
Place served its purpose. The DNC has all the information they need on the TEA Party and conservatives. At this point I wouldn’t be surprised if the place explodes to cover everything up.

Flames as in fire? Or is it an euphemism?

As it should be.
The contractor that designed the flawed system—Pennsylvania-based Klingstubbins—said in a statement that it has “uncovered the issue” and is working on “implementing a permanent fix.”
But that’s not the case, according to the Army Corps of Engineers (ACE), which is in charge of overseeing the data center’s construction. ACE disagreed with the contractor and said the meltdowns are “not yet sufficiently understood.”
This is even more embarrassing than healthcare.gov site
Uh...problem with electrical loads...who would of thought?
This thing has as much luck as an Iranian or Syrian nuke facility. Hmmm?
Unexplained power surges that fry the equipment.
huh
Newsbreak: they have suspect. A 6 foot male dressed in black garb, English accent and wearing a Guy Fawkes mask.
The building is not on fire, so the headline is somewhat confusing.
“Within the last 13 months, at least 10 electric surges have each cost about $100,000 in damages, according to documents obtained by the Wall Street Journal.”
So, there have been a series of electric surges over the past year, which have destroyed a total of a billion dollars worth of computer equipment.
The return of STUXNET?
Who’s turn is it to bring the marshmallows?
First, they did not have the power strung out to the location, then tey had the wrong connectors on the power cables, then they finally allowed me to connect it up.
I powered it up and brought down the power to four buildings because they had patched me into a junction box without sufficient capability.
It would be somewhat amusing to discover a Stutnex-type worm had infiltrated the NSA Spy Center.
10 x $100,000 = $1million
THATS why they had to reset everyones Obammycare password today, if your account even still exists.
Those pesky electrons !!
