The opening ceremony of the 2008 Olympics featured an LED (!?!) screen on the floor that eventually reached about 500-feet (?) in length.


In case some of you didn't know, there aren't any more welfare programs. Welfare was done away with years ago. There are few "social programs" left anyway and even if there were, this computer setup has nothing to do with that. No, this is more of a "War Room" type of set up. Is this kind of thing necessary? Only if you want to manage a pointless war that hasn't changed anything in the country it's being fought in. Tax dollars being wasted, as usual.

obviously an essential piece of kit for a group of warmongering madmen hellbent on world domination

..wheres james bond when you need him?....

Pretty tenuous, linking this article to your loony agenda don't you think?

LOL that doesn't look like any government facility I have ever seen. LOL Folding tables and a handfull of very average looking computers? Honestly I have seen public annexes more futuristic than this. My local DMV is more futuristic than this. LOL This looks like a temporary setup for a training course or seminar of some sort. I doubt the displays in the background are even real. If they are, someone is getting a tasty rental fee on those bad boys. LOL ha ha ha ha ha! Don't believe the hype noobs.

Regulas - didn't Bush inherit a budget surplus? Oh that's right - he did. What happened to that? Oh that's right - illegal war. How much does that thing cost a day? Seriously - I'm asking a question. Could you get back to me on that? Thanks.

Actually, what better way to establish performance metrics? Games are SO much more demanding than real life.

Nice to see our gubbment spending our hard-earned monies on something truly useful. Much better than on welfare crack mommies or liberals.

Thats government spending at its best! Makes me proud to be an American, and know that social security is going down the tubes...

The resolution is impressive, but the size of the screen doesn't really add that much. People somehow forget that the only reason you should get a bigger monitor or TV is so you can push it further away in order to allow more people to see it. Otherwise, there is no point to something bigger if you can gain the same visual experience by simply sitting closer to it. That is, of course, why that room even has a screen that large: so everyone can see it.

You can't play Warcraft in here! This is the War Room.

If the USA would crop off all the bull$hit and welfare state social programs we could easily reduce taxes by over 50% if not more.
We have a political party (Democrats aka socialist wannabes) that want to raise taxes even more!
Sad, real sad.
