In Alma's world, nobody has more than one internet connected device at home.

In my case, I have 2 desktops, a laptop, a PS3, ipad, ipod touch and 2 android phones all connected to my router. They can indeed all talk to each other even WITHOUT the internet connection. Duh.

Then it isn't a STANDALONE COMPUTER then is it? Do you even know what that means? It's pretty self explanatory..



Seems like you're doing a good job on your own.



ANd that doesn't mean anything to my question.

You're the only one talking about a standalone computer, dip ****. You said you cannot have a network that isn't connected to the internet. You have been proven wrong. I don't know what the **** you're talking about a standalone computer for, but that's completely irrelevant to the conversation.

Am I misreading this? What the hell is going on here.

Haha, I was wrong. Go figure. He said can, not can't.

Alma said you can create a network that isn't on the Internet and then referred to COMSEC, I pointed out that I can do that at home just by pulling a cable out of my router (basically agreeing) and Alma went off on a rampage about how that's not a network blah blah blah.

Because I'm apparently seeing extraneous 'ts today.

ETA: I are an ***.

Yes, you said can and I read can't. I did in fact misread.

I aborted the argument. See, I'm pro-choice.

Don't you dare. Or I will build a time machine and talk to your mother about abortion.

Given the fact that I said you could create a network not on the Internet, it wouldn't make sense for me to insinuate that it wasn't or couldn't be part of a network without Internet connectivity. I realized that we were possibly talking over each other and that's the reason why I was asked if you were referring to a standalone computer for verification.

That's why I said that if you were talking about a standalone computer then it would take more than that. You didn't specify what was all in your network, so there's no way of me knowing if your statement were legit or not without knowing if your PC were a standalone.

None of you are asking the important question - why the hell would you want to be OFF the internet??

Freaks.

If you lack the security architecture and protocols to fight hacking of highly sensitive information, not being connected to the Internet reduces the possibility of your information being leaked. In this case, unless there's a required Internet connection in order to gather the said material, one single computer with sensitive information shouldn't be connected to the Internet or used for anything other than attending to that data.
