The new, alternate website took money to create, electricity to host, and has to be monitored for hacks. You didn't know that?
Your argument falls apart.
Wow. Now displaying a website splash page is equal to linking to
terrabytes of data servers, handling queries, doing internal/external
data retrievals, etc, etc
But I guess lefty deadbeats figure if that's the equation it takes to
make it all a "free" government entitlement, so be it.
Damn, you guys do love those freebies.
BTW, an offline server can't be hacked.
Psst, hey buddy. The government is handing out free stuff!
Getcha some!
None of that stuff is shut down, it's just not available to the average joe.. As Wayne points out, you can bet gov agencies and law enforcement still have access. That server with the "splash" page is sitting in the same center as the rest of the original website, unless you think they went out and created a new center to host this temporary site? The rest is still intact, because no one in their right mind would shut it down just to bring back up in a few days. That would be a huge bonehead move, as that would cost far more than the electricity to keep it up. Traffic has just been re-directed.
Oh, and what's "free"? I pay a lot of federal taxes each year for these services.
The rest of your stuff is just thrashing around with nothing to say.
