Just a ploy to pi$$ off folks. Can't view Mt. Rushmore, can't boat in the ocean, can't walk down certain sidewalks, etc.
I tried to download a couple maps from USGS today. The site was functional, let me pick the maps I wanted all the way up to the download section. That's where I got the govt shut down message on my screen. I could do everything I wanted/needed to do on the site except the actual download. Tell me that wasn't designed with the sole purpose of pi$$ing off the user.

i am in a class called Computers in Society and was doing a paper today that required me to get on to several different government run websites and they are all operational but all have this shutdown disclaimer at the top. Some functions are disabled and in the disclaimer they are saying that information may be out of date due to the shutdown. I'm sorry, but there are thousands of IT people at the government and there is no reason these sites should be inoperable. I'm getting so fed up with the games this administration is playing. I hope these antics fire up the conservatives to actually put forth respectable candidates in 2014 and 2016. Hopefully we make it that long, I fear the damage done may be undo-able.
Yes, it's goofy...they can pay for the electricity to run the sites with a "we're closed" message but don't have the content accessible? That takes a special kind of *******.
Too bad mid-term elections aren't this November....
Yeah, they still are pushing electrons to the sites. Still wasting tax payer money. It's a political scam. I could understand if they didn't want to pay admins to update content or what not, but even if they did that; the sites could remain up and just hum along with the same old content. Putting a banner up makes no sense. Besides, they probably have those domains paid for until eternity and the SSL certs are probably good for like 10 years.
i imagine the only part of the shutdown that affected these web pages was not updating. the rest is political BS. they had to pay someone to take down links and post that ominous banner, block off parks to our vets, close whatever PRIVATE businesses are being closed, and all the other things they are trying to scare us with; they could have saved some of that money to keep some things going.
Well they had to furlow the guy who feeds the hamster that runs the wheel that powers the internet. If only someone could sneak that little guy some food so he'd have enough energy to power the download matrix flux capacitor.

they've paid more affecting the shutdown than they would have paid to keep things open. guards for barricades instead of guards for the property.

Are you insinuating they're showing some sort of favoritism? There's a political side to all this?
