Maybe, but then you might as well block ANY search that isn't work related. But then again, how does anyone at the corporate level really know what's work related.
Blocking 'Gun' is just stupid. Makes no sense.
I worked for a company that tried disabling ALL internet access in the interest of work productivity. That last about 3 hours until all the Dev's bitched about it.

Our net nazi used to block blog and forum, when every dev sent an email to security to request a release, 1 site, 1 email from 13 devs they got the hint fairly rapidly.
Every now and then they reapply the policy and we repeat the entire excercise, what a waste of time!
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity

I'm really happy with the safe I got from these guys: sturdysafe[^]
It looks like their website is slipping by the net-nanny at my work. So, you might have a chance to look.

I would only buy a safe from them if I got one of the mindless posing bimbos in the deal.

I read up on the company a bit before buying. Apparently that bimbo is actually the owner's daughter who works there. Alas, daughter not included. 
I bought from them because they use thicker steel than most and build custom for each order. I keep meaning to bolt it down. But it was over 1200lbs empty. Probably isn't going to escape any time soon.

Yeah, I've heard of such things happening. Bolting is on my todo list. Just not near the top. To get the safe out of my garage, you'd need to clean the garage first. That might actually be a fair trade
It was the first thing the movers put in the garage, everything else is now between it an the exit.

Bolt the car to the ground and the safe will be safe.

Just curious, are you a 'Nut' because you exercised your First Amendment right to post something referencing your Second Amendment rights?
I'm 49 and I've voted all my life. I also own some guns. Since I've done a lot of shooting and a lot of voting, I must also be a Voting Nut.
It's really ignorant when people use inflammatory terms to describe other people exercising fundamental American rights.

I have no problem with a person owning unlimited amounts of Guns and I don't think Gun Nut is inflammatory in any way. I was more focused on the fact that virtually zero advertising is done for safes outside the gun crowd. My needs are different and not really met with what is advertised. Yet, you would think, people have things other than guns that need to be secured.

Microsoft discontinued a lot of development tools/platforms over the years. The one that has a big impact on our company is the Active Server Page. We still have a lot of "Pages" that need maintenance from time to time without the development environment - Visual InterDev. It is a pain. What is the next to discontinue? SharePoint, Entity Framework, Windows 8?

ASP.NET WebForms...(I have about 40.000 of them)

Certainly must be nearing the front of the queue, they've been pushing the far better MVC for a while now and old ASP.net is a mess I'm sure they'd like rid of.

If you follow news about ASP.NET vNEXT you can see that WebForms got no updates at all...

Very true, I think as well MS have been trying for a while now to win the hearts and minds of the open source crowd (with limited success) who generally look down as webforms as 'not real web development'.
I could see them ditching webforms as a way to win them over (which wouldn't work) while simultaneously giving a middle finger to the millions of dedicated webforms devs out there (which would work).

What is your point ? Of course old platforms are discontinued and new platforms are created. Microsoft is not charity, it is a company.
