My comment was directed at government spending... no need to have such a angry tone about the "comment". I was only comparing to what I spend on my large volumes of queries and what this so called expensive stuff the government is running... And I have never developed a bad ram card, even if I did, replacements are easy as i'm talking about distributed vps in this case.
