when red phones were used for direct communication lines to rival government leaders
In mythology and the movies only. The actual 'red phone' was a teletype.
On a related note: Many years ago, I helped a friend wire in an extension phone. On the little paper tag for the phone number, I wrote "KREMLIN HOTLINE" (with a backwards R). It remains there to this day.
And a lot of other FOSS software is written by geographically separated teams. It seems to work out pretty well (systemd not withstanding).
These sorts of jobs attract different sorts of people, motivated by different things. No office politics, very 'flat' organizations, mostly meritocracies. Are they better, worse or just different? I suppose you'd have to judge by the kinds and quality of the products that they produce. To the outside world, they might look good. But to someone who's ambition is to be in middle management, an organization with no middle management isn't very inviting. To unions, there is no workplace to organize. The more stakeholders in the project, them more the definition of 'optimum' changes.
You suckers just keep going on thinking that everything you can see on a phone is the Internet. You can keep port 80. There are 65534 others I can use.
The DoD doesn't care so much about violence as long as you have done your time for the offense. They are, after all, in that line of business. What they do watch for are individuals with tendencies to creep around and 'get' co-workers or companies who they believe have wronged them. These are prime candidates for manipulation by foreign intelligence services.
And posting AC isn't much protection when it comes to background checks.
Some day you will just be passed up for a promotion, raise, or get less vacation time,
My boss has my back and hates smokers as well. Most probably anyone who tries any office retribution will be shown the door.
but wont know why.
I work in a business where everyone is watched. For national security reasons. Inter-office politics can result in the losing parties trying to "get back" at the company, which may result in security problems. You will not only be shown the door, you will get a long sit-down session with the FBI. And a life long record.

Let's just switch to traditional Japanese time.
Botnets.
Oblig. xkcd.
Should you allow a Windows computer to connect to the Internet?
No doubt you got hold of some cutlery made out of Chinesium.

Stand by for my Western Electric 2500DM teardown.
Dogs will dig them up.
Why start out on such a judgmental note?

Still no operating system.
Could be worse. Could be Boeing.
This video cams out shortly after Boeing went to a 'moving assembly line'. Lots of laughs (and some groans) on the shop floor.
I used to use one. But there are only so many sea shanties that I can tolerate.
It came off a perfectly innocent looking thumb drive that I found in a parking lot in Langley, W. Virginia.
So, DevOops.

Why? Is he a heavy smoker?
Ahh yes. The sounds of a Soviet-era chain printer coming from the Russian side of the ISS.
If they know how violent you disposition was

Quick. Bury the Slashdot window. The boss is coming.
