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.

Yes, and you can bet that the original web site is up and running with
back door access available to USCG, US Customs and other law
enforcement agencies..

The weather pages are still up

Well, I think it would be a terrific public service if you and W'hine
spend your time keeping track of all the federal government websites,
and let us know which are or are not working at a given moment.

Bull****, they still have the server running


You should pay a personal visit to wherever you think the servers are
and give us a full report.

Unlike the people up north, we watch storms and prepare BEFORE they
come kick our ass.

Yeah, right. Sure. I was in SE Florida the day after Andrew, taking
photos, doing interviews, and helping in the preparation of a report
about what sorts of buildings failed and why. Not much preparation was
evident.

BTW the "full report" from the boat board where they actually talk
about boats is that ALL of the NOAA web site is up, they just dicked
up the index page. If you know the URL of the page you want, it is
there.
BAO is full of **** as usual


Are you having problems getting weather reports from NOAA?
I'm not.

from Tallahassee.

That was 20 years ago. Out of curiosity, That report you were a helper
on; did it lead to any changes of any kind that helped improve building
codes and construction methods? Or was it just another meaningless fluff
piece that ended up un the round file.

Likewise.

Agreed

So there are 2 lefties here who think government servers are "free," and
don't incur costs that are billed to the U.S. Government.
No taxpayer money involved.
Nice little fantasy world, I guess.
Crazy as hell, but who am I to judge?

The website is up! Just not giving any service.

Absolutely. I said both sides. I know this for a fact, a work related
friend of mine's wife works for the CDC as a researcher, the last time
this happened, she stayed home on furlough. When she returned, they gave
her back pay!!! THAT sounds like a vacation to me!

You sure didn't look for evidence of preparation then!
