I just got off a rant, and need to vent. Since the guys on here make the US Government's IT team look like a group of monkeys, I thought I'd leave this here just to see where it goes. If it goes nowhere, that's fine. Like I said, I just need to vent.

Excerpt of a rant to the Army Training Help Desk regarding the ALMS system:
Once again, to my limited programming knowledge, Javascript is portable code that may span various browsers and operating systems. Given that "... you are using Internet Explorer 8 or 9 when accessing ALMS. Any other browser is not compatible with the website..." is the official stance of ALMS doesn't explain how I completed other classes in ALMS using a browser other than IE.
Content should be made available to sufficiently authenticated via CAC login. Military CAC<http://militarycac.com/>;, provides steps for users of other than IE users. The only <u>browser</u> that supports PKCS #11 is Firefox. Why is it that non-web standards compliant browser such as IE is given top "compatibility" given IE's buggy track record? Does this also mean that the military endorses Windows only systems, and those using Mac OSX, Linux, (Free, Net, Open)BSD, InfernoOS, Android, Chromium, FirefoxOS, et. al. are S.O.L.?

Hell, they used Solaris systems until they went defunct. I wish some FreeBSD guys could smack some sense to these clowns.
