    Only if those sys admins are terrible at their jobs and don't do patch testing and deployment properly.

    Windows 10 pro/enterprise has always had the option to delay updates until approved, you don't even need a WSUS server to manage that, though it does make it easier. If a sys admin is running Win 10 home in a production environment, I have to wonder about their professionalism and sys admin abilities.

    Is there more detail in the logged in bug report, as the one you linked to without login says nowhere cosmic radiation, just SEU, which can be caused by many things and is just a generic term for a bit flip.

    Also, as to the cell phone comment, this is the phone that was offered, and the only phone legally allowed to contain classified information: http://arstechnica.com/informa...

    It was never meant to be hooked to State unclassified email, it is only for classified. For unclassified, State hands out a Blackberry.

    Our investigation looked at whether there is evidence classified information was improperly stored or transmitted on that personal system, in violation of a federal statute making it a felony to mishandle classified information either intentionally or in a grossly negligent way, or a second statute making it a misdemeanor to knowingly remove classified information from appropriate systems or storage facilities.

    From the group of 30,000 e-mails returned to the State Department, 110 e-mails in 52 e-mail chains have been determined by the owning agency to contain classified information at the time they were sent or received. Eight of those chains contained information that was Top Secret at the time they were sent; 36 chains contained Secret information at the time; and eight contained Confidential information, which is the lowest level of classification. Separate from those, about 2,000 additional e-mails were “up-classified” to make them Confidential; the information in those had not been classified at the time the e-mails were sent.

    That is 110 counts of Felony mishandling of classified information.

    With respect to the thousands of e-mails we found that were not among those produced to State, agencies have concluded that three of those were classified at the time they were sent or received, one at the Secret level and two at the Confidential level. There were no additional Top Secret e-mails found. Finally, none of those we found have since been “up-classified.”

    There are three more counts.

    Now, as to the government issued cell phone, she was offered a Blackberry like every other government employee, she chose instead to have her own Blackberry, so how did she exactly avoid the "poor excuse" for a cell phone?

    As well, the fact that she failed to turn over official records, that were improperly stored and destroyed breaks the records retention laws that were clarified after she left office, but were always assumed to cover email as well as paper.

    You can choose to believe that she did nothing wrong, but fact is, she committed many felonies, and concealed evidence of them by running her own server. We will never know what she did or didn't do for Benghazi, but we do know that she destroyed emails related to it. It is rather hard to run an investigation when the party is destroying evidence the whole time.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

    It is quite clear that there are many emails not delivered to the investigation. and in fact, there were several emails requesting additional security before the attack that were ignored, that would have been sent to Clinton, but none were in her email dump. In fact, other countries had already closed their embassies at that time, so it isn't like no one knew there were issues.

    Um, considering that at the time that Eich supported the anti gay marriage lobby, Bill Clinton was busy signing "don't ask don't tell" into law, I don't see your point.

    Many people are against gay "marriage". The problem I personally have is that the push should be for equal rights to civil unions. Marriage is a religious ceremony, and should never have been being regulated by the state. Why do we need the term marriage? Is there something special about that word?

    What deliberate lies?

    The only meme I have seen tied to this thing is that Hillary was "too big to jail", which is about right. She got out of felony charges, because no one would prosecute her, not because she didn't break the law. But we are supposed to just support this and be all good with it.

    I am curious what lies are being spread by this organization that are so terrible.

      I also find it funny that you likely won't be able to find anywhere where the same people had an issue with Hillary's "correct the record" lie campaign.

    Being against pipelines is the same as being for oil spills from trains. Pipelines are far safer, and spill far less than even small train spills.

    When you fight the pipeline, you fight for trains full of oil. The oil has to be moved around, even if you wish people used less of it.

  19. No router could handle just dropping the packets. In order to put a rule in place like that, every packet needs to be inspected. When you are dealing with 600 Gb of DDoS traffic, the routers don't even have time to inspect the packets.

    Liberal news organizations all see Clinton leading, while conservative news orgs see Trump winning. The real story is likely that they are pretty well tied. What I find most amazing is the third party numbers. Anything over double digits is considered extremely rare, and Johnson has consistently been posting double digits. For someone who can't name any world leaders, and doesn't even know where Aleppo is, that is pretty amazing.
