Indeed. The orbital defenses were just that - defenses against things in orbit.
The guns and troops on the ground, the bunker itself - that's all there to protect against a planetside assault. It accomplished that task - the shields and ion cannon prevented the Imperials from slagging the area, and the ground force stalled the invasion long enough to evacuate.
Vader was on the ground, presumably, to capture Luke. Keep in mind that Luke was his son, and he knew about it - as we see in Cloud City. He wanted a chance to convert Luke for his own purposes (overthrowing the Emperor and taking control) which may not have been possible had Luke been captured by ground troops.
Email does not require a web browser. In fact, using email instead of HTTP would probably be smaller even factoring in compression. (I think you're confusing webmail with email)
They are not getting killed because they had WMDs, they are getting killed because they were fuckheads. They had WMDs also because they were fuckheads.
If they want to stop getting killed, perhaps they should stop being fuckheads?
You must have missed the part where it was talking about US Citizens specifically. Citizens generally don't try to escape over the border from Mexico unless they are trying to smuggle something/someone.

Sure. Did they confirm it? Then they confirmed it.
Of course if they have not done so then the submitter (or original author) is being an enormous tool.
You know, you can actually snipe with the shotguns.
4x optics + slugs.

There's no real difference (that matters) between "EA fixed it" and "EA confirmed the fix"
You do know what "interim" means, right?
You don't need potable water to bathe.
Also, lord knows that people will not want to drink recycled water.
Too bad. Drink or die.

TFS mentions they are switching to Chromium for JavaScript - so that's out too.
I have tried from exit points in several countries.
403 - Forbidden
So useful.
I'm not arguing against that. I happen to agree...
Rapture was last year, buddy. Think about that for a moment. Yes, you're all still here with the rest of us.
Wouldn't you want to send the fast ones then? More likely to keep them busy for a while.
1. Someone at the CDC has a sense of humor
2. Many of your zombie preparations are actually useful for other disasters.

You missed that there's a path to breaking down, instead of fighting. That was my point (to your point)
Meet 18 U.S.C. section 1385, otherwise known as the Posse Comitatus Act.

That's just it. We really could use this technology, but abuse is so damn likely.
It's Fight or Flight, not just Fight. If they Flight, and you impede them, they will either turn to Fight or break down.
Cost? Why does that matter? Are we only allowing the police to do something if it costs a bunch of money?
Drones are OK when used in this manner. Eg, they are looking for a specific person or are responding to a specific event.
Putting them up on patrols to look around and project presence however, is NOT OK.
Sounds like a Lawful vs Chaos to me, not Good/Neutral/Evil.
Shredded coconut? Coconut water? Coconut milk? Coconut cream?
I'd like to try, but can you be more specific?
You have fun with that. Those SSL/TLS packets (that you don't have keys for) will be very informative. Very.
