theory computers systems fail

The Ministry of Defence (MoD) has wasted millions of pounds on a botched computer system, leaked documents have revealed.
The recruitment partnering project, a £1.3bn scheme intended to enable the army to recruit online, is almost two years behind schedule and will not be fully operational until April 2015 at the earliest, the Times said.
Up to £15.5m has been spent on the computer system but, according to the newspaper, the problems are so serious that defence secretary Philip Hammond is considering spending nearly £50m on a new solution.
