FBI SCRAPS NETWORK The FBI is widely known to have the federal government's lamest computer network -- and that's saying something. After the 9/11 attacks, G-Men couldn't even search its records for "flight" and "schools" at the same time. A much-ballyhooed fix for the creaky system, the Virtual Case File, has been in trouble for a long time. And now, things have gotten so bad that the bureau "is on the verge of scrapping major parts of [the] $170 million computer overhaul," the Times reports. FBI officials said the bureau has contracted with a research company at a cost of $2 million to evaluate the problems in the project... and determine what if any parts can be salvaged. One idea under strong consideration is using off-the-shelf software instead of expensive customized features that have been developed in the last few years but already appear outdated.
