Speaking as someone who used to administrate an Air Force base's SIPRNet systems, I don't believe for a second that they're talking about anything other than NIPRNet (which is the military's way of referring to their unclassified, Internet-connected base networks).
I find it HIGHLY suspect that classified networks are compromised, simply because of what would be required to do so. The SIPRNet has NO Internet connectivity at all; you simply cannot send packets between the two, at all, in either direction.
I also don't *need* all the wiring in my home to be up to code. Sure, my home may burn down because of it, but that doesn't mean I *need* it.
There, you satisfied now that I've gone out of my way to answer the exact wording of your question, instead of simply stating my position, relative to your own? I mean, it's not like the proper context of my post indicated that I was aware that I was trading stability for security, and that I made my decision so that, in the future when 3.6 is fully deprecated and no longer updated, I could avoid having to switch to a vastly different browser just to keep from leaving the metaphorical back door open.
By the way, have fun bitching about it when that happens.
I'd rather my non-critical, Internet-exposed applications be just a TAD more unstable than have widely-known, unpatched security holes for any longer than absolutely necessary. And yes, I am aware that 3.6 has still been receiving security updates. I'm ALSO aware that that won't last forever.
Local backups let you quickly recover data lost from things like accidental deletion, but there's no replacing a good off-site backup for disaster recovery.
Somehow I think you left out an important detail from that last part... like whether you noticed they were or were NOT blocked. From the context, I'd guess you're saying they ARE blocked, but it could go either way.
In my area, Comcast, for all the OTHER reasons I'd like to ditch them, do a pretty decent job of NOT being dicks about their content flagging. It's actually pretty rare that I find anything on their basic lineup being marked anything other than Copy Freely. I've never had any problems with Discovery or Science, and I've even been able to record the Walking Dead in HD without issue.
Strangely, the only channels I've had any issue with are the ones I absolutely SHOULDN'T; specifically, I've seen a few shows on the local HD channels being flagged, despite the FCC stating explicitly that OTA broadcast channels MUST be marked Copy Freely. Of course, the SD channels never have that problem...
But thanks for calling everyone in, or involved with, the US military "baby killers". I mean, we didn't need another reason to ignore you, but it always helps.
Explosives can and do leave pieces large enough to recover information from.
Not with how over-kill these guys went. Five full layers of C4, sandwiching three layers of drives, with a shaped charge pointing at the pile.
At the blast site, there was nothing left but a crater, without a trace of any remaining metal AT ALL, nor was there anything spotted anywhere in the vicinity, nor was any debris spotted flying any meaningful distance from the site.
The drives were completely incinerated. End of story.
Yeah... figured I should throw this out there, before some asshat did it in a more condescending manor...
Squaresoft originally didn't bring FF2, FF3 (both NES games), and FF5 (SNES) over to America, and to avoid the confusion of players trying to find games never released here, they renumbered FF4 as FF2, and FF6 as FF3...
So the game you're talking about is the same one your parent post was saying was his favorite...
All right... all right... but apart from better sanitation and medicine and education and irrigation and public health and roads and a freshwater system and baths and public order... what have the Romans done for us?
*facepalm* Are you really that fucking stupid or dense? Of course they are not the same. The Pirate Bay was AN EXAMPLE OF A BITTORRENT TRACKER. Jesus christ, numbnuts.

Actually, TF2 works just fine on LAN play without a net connection. You may have problems with the ONLINE multiplayer, but the game will still work on a LAN. Hell, if Valve does eventually shut down everything related to the game, you should still be able to play online, albeit with online default weapons.

But can it simulate taco delivery drones?

Here in Oregon (Eugene, to be precise), it fucking SNOWED last night, and we're usually LUCKY to see snow at all during the average winter.
No, as a matter of fact, I don't.

Dear Troll,
If you wish to critique someone's grammar, please learn the difference between "your" and "you're" first.
Thank you,
Everyone with a basic English education.
Better yet, do both.

Funny, I seem to have no problem getting SageTV to use Ceton CableCARD tuner; so long as the stream is flagged Copy Freely, that is.
has sage not been discontinued now?
Interestingly enough, they were bought.
By Google.
There's a very large difference between fair criticism and calling people "baby killers".
Bad troll is bad.

Oh good, the water pump is working...
I choose to believe it was a single fat man humming the Mission Impossible theme...

2. The fact that you are a member of the Game Program.
So yeah, he's fine.

We observed from about a mile away, and I could STILL feel it from there...
In the Air Force, we had EOD take care of the problem.
With C4.
And I'm not making this up. The drives weren't working, so we couldn't just wipe them, and EOD was bored and had explosives...

Why yes, zombies ARE dead, thank you for asking. Now shut up and aim for the head.
Jon Stewart wants his joke back.
