26. As hardware, not much. The difference would be software.

All it really means is that she was running her own email server, a piece of software anybody can run, I have run email servers, sendmail no less, a programming atrocity if I ever saw one, and there are lots of free versions out there too.

Your computer isn't receiving top secret emails, thereby jeopardizing national security. linuxman Aug 2015 #13

Have you worked on govt servers? VanillaRhapsody Aug 2015 #18

I have and I do. linuxman Aug 2015 #22

So have and do I..and after what I have seen VanillaRhapsody Aug 2015 #24

Then you know they suck. Adrahil Aug 2015 #32

Yes that is my point! VanillaRhapsody Aug 2015 #42

Oh, so it's a safety issue, rather than a "how dare these little people question me" issue. name not needed Aug 2015 #38

Well, it's been years since Hillary's was discontinued. And we KNOW 250,000 .gov emails pnwmom Aug 2015 #34

Hillary's personal server certainly wasn't....little fish in a big pond method VanillaRhapsody Aug 2015 #43

Please provide a link to these 250k State Department .gov emails that you claim Wikileaks released DesMoinesDem Aug 2015 #35

Please provide a link to your claim that I said Wikileaks released all those emails. pnwmom Aug 2015 #37

You're claiming 250k .gov emails were leaked to Wikileaks (but not released?) Where's your proof? DesMoinesDem Aug 2015 #39

Here you go. pnwmom Aug 2015 #40

I know Wikileaks released diplomatic cables. Where are the 250k .gov State Department emails DesMoinesDem Aug 2015 #41

The term "cable" is defined by the state dept. as a "communication (message) sent electronically." pnwmom Aug 2015 #45

Cables are not the same as emails. That is a fact. DesMoinesDem Aug 2015 #46

I just showed you that by the State Department's own definition, the word "cable" includes emails. pnwmom Aug 2015 #49

LOL. You're really grasping at straws trying to argue that cables are email. DesMoinesDem Aug 2015 #52

You obviously didn't read the whole article because you didn't learn anything from it. pnwmom Aug 2015 #53

I already know what cables are. You obviously are furriously trying to learn about them DesMoinesDem Aug 2015 #54

No, millions of people weren't supposed to have access to all 250K emails. pnwmom Aug 2015 #55

They weren't emails, they were cables. Available to millions of people. DesMoinesDem Aug 2015 #56

No, they weren't all available to millions of people. And the difference these days between cables pnwmom Aug 2015 #59

Wow. You have no idea what you are talking about. DesMoinesDem Aug 2015 #60

And Hillary's .gov emails could have been downloaded by someone who had access to them. pnwmom Aug 2015 #61

Again, very few people have access to individual email accounts. DesMoinesDem Aug 2015 #62

Millions of people don't have access to ALL those cables, and you know that perfectly well. pnwmom Aug 2015 #63

I know perfectly well that millions of people had access to all those cables. DesMoinesDem Aug 2015 #64

Only her WORK ones...not her personal ones... VanillaRhapsody Aug 2015 #44

Where did you get the idea I was talking about anything other than her SoS correspondence? Exilednight Aug 2015 #47

Same place you got the idea that she isn't being forthcoming.... VanillaRhapsody Aug 2015 #48

Based on Hillary's past experience, what makes you believe she is? Exilednight Aug 2015 #50
