    I think much of this was fueled by the $1 Billion VMware Nicira buy. It alienated their partnership with Cisco and VCE and was poor strategy. It's like nobody realized that their user base couldn't figure understand what an MTU mismatch was, let alone handle a network issues caused by layers of poorly written software on broken hardware.

    That stated you don't need to use vCenter to change DVS ports to get vCenter up - you /can/ do it in the CLI and you should be using ephemeral port allocation for the vCenter port-group. Often the difference between getting a senior tech with free time or one from the low cost geographies was evident by whether or not they made you re-install the product.

    Same as the typical Cisco/Nortel/Dell product "This product is unsupported in the current browser" right in the browser when you manually accept the certificate warning. At the end of the day this is a stupid problem. There should not be a valid signed certificate and private key required for a local service. Other than DRM there is no point in the encryption with localhost communication for a video player app. There should be no DNS request required to make this work.

    Uhhh sorry but you are wrong about this being a "nothing to see here". You can use this private key to run a "trusted https site" on local host that is capable of stealing cookies set for cisco.com. If you can man in the middle http traffic and DNS you can redirect the http traffic to this "site" on another system which includes content from cisco.com and steals cookies or does cross site scripting. Does Cisco have cloud services? Where are the session authentication cookies set and what other parameters invalidate them that can't be spoofed using data obtained by the web browser in the initial request...

    Feeding a troll but to put this into perspective they located a satellite last seen in 2009 by basically sending a signal into space and catching it's echo... all while that satellite is rotating around another giant satellite that is rotating around us...

    Let's pretend that you know the old rotation...
    Forget what amazing technology radar is and how even decently catching the reflection of sun off the moon in a camera is difficult...
    Forget about the problems of all the other stuff that can bounce the signal back... forget that in 8 years the orbit could have changed so significantly you might not even know when the satellite will be eclipsed by the moon!! Also, the moon is only over the horizon for as long as the sun so you have 8 to~14 hours of time then the moon isn't eclipsing the satellite where a particular ground station could even hit the satellite with a signal.

    The moon is 384,400 km away and orbits the earth at a speed of 3,683 km/h! It takes ~1.3 seconds for the signal to make it roughly to the moon and ~1.3 seconds to make it back! in that time the moon (and things orbiting it) have moved over a kilometer in relation to the earth!!! That's just in the time it took the radar signal to reach! Another kilometer for the return signal!

    They sent the signal from one ground station and received a reflection of that signal on another, were able to correlate the exact time the signal was sent vs. when it was received, compare it with the location of other signal reflections, figure out where to point a telescope and verify this tiny little thing the size of a smart car is in fact Chandrayaan-1.
