Ok, so the government and the financial industry are up in arms about Mr. Gormon's dissertation and they want it classified and/or destroyed. But where does that get us? There's some extremely valuable case-study-esque material in here for Infrastructure and Disaster Recovery teams within the various IT departments across the world. It points to the need of applying the "diversify your portfolio" mantra (that investment professionals have been chanting) to our technical infrastructure. If a business must have a centralized IT infrastructure, then we must ensure that we have a reliable plan in case our centralized data centers are destroyed. But that's slightly off-topic and ranting.
My main point is that someone with less pure intentions could easily replicate what Mr. Gormon has accomplished (e.g. someone who might have an entry in the TIA perhaps). Granted it might take some time to develop this "infrastructure roadmap", but no one can argue it would be impossible. And one might even point to the recent surge in network traffic recently and conclude that maybe someone has already begun to copy Mr. Gormon's work.

any suggestions of how I can get a good laptop in the New York area when I am only there for 4 days?
Yeah, it's called Canal Street

Just something to think about...
