Happens all the time at all levels of gov't. And maybe worse with DOD stuff. I've worked with small government and DOD contractors. When it comes to Perl v. $30,000 the $30,000 wins. Or MySQL v. Microsofts SQL Server... Microsoft wins.
A combination of "not my money", and nobody wanting to put their neck out to make a decision. Easier to write the million-dollar checks and forget about it... Very troubling.
Sorry to venture further into the OT... :-) But, as a programmer who primarily works to integrate top-heavy, kludgy and expensive products... it's disheartening to say the least.

Don't they have a better way of spending the money like maybe on Education, Law Enforcement, EMS Services, or Fire Services... Just a thought!!

I've been over-ruled by those who pay the bills, so I can't use SpamAssassin since it's "open source"
How do I unsubscribe from the lists?
Thank-you!
