**MLB DAVID ALERT** -- (link) - Strongbad Jul 5, 12:28
re: pmb's post on B2 - Strongbad Jul 5, 12:26 25
- If they used a non governmental email, it's arguably worse, since they relied on some commercial provider's servers - TWuG Jul 5, 12:32 5
  - I've heard both sides on whether Hillary's was more or less secure than the State. Not sure on that. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 5, 12:33 4
    - The real joke in all this is that we know for fact that the state department's servers were hacked. So as a point of fact it can't have been less - pmb Jul 5, 12:37 1
      - Right. -- nm - David Jul 5, 12:37
    - I'm not a fan of using private servers, but this is still a way-overblown topic that is way more about politics - TWuG Jul 5, 12:37 1
      - Yes. I think it's a poor choice to have used the private server, but it doesn't begin to approach criminal behavior (at least in any way consistent - pmb Jul 5, 12:38
- Do we know where Colin Powell's personal email account was hosted? - znufrii, dad. Jul 5, 12:31 5
  - IIRC it was aol.com -- nm - Roger More Jul 5, 12:41 3
    - Here -- (link) - Roger More Jul 5, 12:45 2
      - Good article, thanks. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 5, 12:49
      - Thx. -- nm - znufrii, dad. Jul 5, 12:46
  - I thought Condi admitted as well. Don't know the answer to your question. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 5, 12:39
- I think that's largely irrelevant. It's still removing classified information from the government servers. No different than taking classified files - pmb Jul 5, 12:29
- if they (intentionally) "mishandled" marked classified/top secret information, i don't think that distinction would have been meaningful -- nm - gerald Jul 5, 12:29
- Colin Powell sure did -- nm - decline Jul 5, 12:28 10
  - CNN: "Unlike Clinton, Powell's emails remained in government computer servers." -- (link) - Strongbad Jul 5, 12:30 9
    - Well, that's sort of misleading. It still was in a private, non-governmental email account, so a copy of the email left the government servers. They - pmb Jul 5, 12:33
    - "the State Department inspector general concluded that Powell and former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice both received classified information -- (link) - decline Jul 5, 12:33 7
      - moved below -- nm* - decline Jul 5, 12:34
      - private email accounts =/ private email servers? -- nm - Strongbad Jul 5, 12:34 5
        
        semantics. From a security perspective private email accounts are even worse -- (edited) - decline Jul 5, 12:35 4
        
        I agree it's semantics, but why is it worse? Because the commercial provider has access to the data? -- nm - Roger More Jul 5, 12:39 2
        
        Security on third party servers might be less reliable. And any government IT security folks - TWuG Jul 5, 12:42 1
        
        Thinking about it, another reason it's less secure is that all it takes is for someone to guess the password. (Like with how Palin's emai was hacked) - Roger More Jul 5, 12:48
        
        Right. -- nm - David Jul 5, 12:37
SBux price hike on the way -- (link) - budice Jul 5, 12:23 1
- They need to convert that $1.2B in customer pre-paid to profit somehow -- nm - decline Jul 5, 12:26
What's the over/under on Mourinho's managerial spell at ManU -- (edited) - znufrii, dad. Jul 5, 12:16 2
- His style of play is not really what United fans like or expect from their team. imo. I'll give him 3 years. -- nm - CQ Jul 5, 12:21
- His MO is three years. Build. Win. Trainwreck. -- nm - Volnelk Jul 5, 12:20

- Speaking of Kindles, the Oasis is one of the dumbest things I've ever seen. -- nm - Shaun Jul 5, 12:09 1
  - I don't think it's "dumb," but I can't see a reason to pay that price for it. -- nm - ÜMLaut Jul 5, 12:11
