Good, maybe this will slow down the process of the illegal aliens getting licenses for at least one day...

Usually Righ, blame that on Easly. He is the one that ordered the DMV to accept the "Matricula Consular" as a valid form of ID to get a license. DMV had nothing to do with that, other than to follow the orders that were handed to them by their superiors...

Actually, let me correct myself. The computer itself did not make a mistake. There was a human error that created the situation but every human I spoke to trying to get it corrected blamed the computer system. The information is only as good as it was input.

Why am I not suprised. The NC DMV Licensing Office doesn't know their knee from their elbow under the best of circumstances. I was told two years ago that I had been driving without a NC license for 10 years. In that 10 years I had changed addresses three times, been ticketed and attended traffic court twice, and has renewed once. Their computer system made a huge mistake, they never kenned to it, and it cost me several hundred dollars and I don't wan't to remember how many hours to fix it. When they have no record they assume they're right no matter how much paperwork you provide to the contrary.

..and we think they're going to be in any way an effective vanguard in identifying undocumented people? LOL.

Durhamdude, you're right. It's ridiculous how people criticize without knowing what it takes to build a computer network. EVERYONE will have an outage sooner or later. Maybe even 2 or 3. It's the nature of the beast. I don't know why I even come to this site anymore. I see so many "experts" who have no clue. Police work, networking, whatever, they think they know it all but they're just sheep.

Not just the DOT, I know it's amazing how many routers or servers stamp your packets of data when you send something as simple as an email within the state. It all depends who the provider is. It can go through 3 or 4 on your end and the same on the person who is getting the other end. Add about 2 in the middle for the service providers routing it to the proper terminal that hosts mailboxes.

There was (if it is windows based) an announcement for a service pack on it's way out. The G33k's that keep the racks up and running are often undervalued. Middle management doesn't realize how much they need us to keep it running smooth. It's not just the Rj45 in your wall to your PC. It's the entire building.
