You apparently have never dealt with government RFP's, you have to meet the specs and have no input on them or visibility as to what they are for. They specked a single device that could run voip with PSTN fallback, wan acceleration (WAAS is cisco's version of that same), and an embedded managed switch with POE. The device they came back with is the only one that fits all those requirements. The issue squarely lies with the people that wrote the RFP.
Internal anycasting of recursive DNS servers has been around forever. Your not talking about public internet no/24 advertisement min to deal with. It works rather well.
Nobody's sales staff is as bad as EMC. After loosing a bake off due to inability to meet minimum performance requirements (which everybody else had done) with there SE's allowed to do any tuning to the SAN and OS over 2 days. They went up two levels to the CEO face to face out of work and proceeded to trash testing methodologies, then insisted that doubling the server buy would make there stuff perform (to the tune of 15m, more than the SAN gear in total), and for the ultimate in wrong started making plea's that if they did not win the business the sales guy would loose his house calling the CEO's wife.
It looks like this was a voip build out. So they specked a router supporting a variety of interfaces (old school T1 and ethernet bits) that did local voip processing with PSTN backup and switching with POE. Getting a POE switch, a voip PBX, and the right router would have been far cheaper and probably used less rack space. To do it all in one box in cisco land it's about the correct box.
It looks like the state wrote a RFP the specified cisco kit and specific cisco kit at that. It looks like they wanted a single box for routing, switching, wireless, secure voip with PSTN fallback, waas, and POE. Cisco charges a HUGE premium to put all that into a single box. The VOIP and WAAS are baby servers each and add the switch in you have filled the add in slots. Anyways this is not something to blame on cisco the IT guys picked a winner by what they specked and how they specked it. Having worked with government IT before it's easy to get stuck doing something stupid, case in point agency was looking to upgrade there 80's 56k frame relay bridged network. I came in as a sub, they had specified a cisco 7500 as the core for a upgrade to DS3's and that it be bridged. Well noting that they were an all IPX shop I recommended routing it took longer to get that change put into the contract and I had auditors questioning if I was trying to give them something lesser. They extended the project and had be connect up the locations via preexisting fiber they are paying 130k a month for DS3's to facilities they have dark fiber to. I had to fight to let the dark fiber be the primary routed path as they did not want to loose face with there 7500 DS3 5 year contract boondoggle, in the end they went from 56k frame to gige fiber with a 45mbs DS3 backup network. At the end of the day if you let the gov IT guys spec more than what they want to do they can easily start picking winners as far as manufacturers, in the case of that 7500 I'm very sure he wanted it as a resume point that he worked with them.
And when they incite multiple murders to other people we can deal with them accordingly. Guess what they are a bunch of lawyers that piss people off so they can sue them I doubt they even care about there cause outside of getting rich.
As to the Muslim extremists they are not pulling there punches. Islam allows anybody to issue a Fatwa it's somewhere between a legal opinion and court order primarily dependent on how many people subscribe to and social status of the person that wrote it. They are not saying so and so is a bad person but so and so did this and should receive this punishment. They are effectively a mix of flame war fodder with court orders. Traditionally Muslims had there own courts and allowed others "of the book" there own place and eventually pretty much any other religion that agreed to pay taxes and not be outwardly offensive (eat all the pork you want but not in front of Muslims) could set up shop in there communities.
Want to fix it you need to pressure all countries to not allow any form of religiously derived law beyond willing adherence as a basic right of all people. Legally define the writer of a these texts (assuming it's distributed) to be culpable for the requested affect occurring. Restrict any religion from attempting to affect politics in any way. I do not see this ever happening in a fair way.
Now in a perfect world we would declare open season on anybody over the age of majority interrupting or intending to causing mental anguish at a funeral or similar function. Again the world is not perfect so somebody would abuse that.
If you facing a meth crazed psycho you need a shotgun with the correct ammo they do not stop until they bleed out or major parts of there nervous system have been removed. Correct ammo being hallow point slugs good for removing large chunks of body mass.
Na get a nice lovable dog.and protection training an aggressive dog is useless / dangerous. That said a nice female defending her home will ripe the face off anybody not supposed to be there.while your newborn can grab yank and otherwise harass her and she will just look at you for help.
The better analogy if your arrested with your house keys should they then be able to search your house without a warrant? Your average smart phone does not have to much info on it but it has the keys to the cloud services that do.
Encryption can make the signal look like normal background noise. You can bounce things of a sat with a tight upwards beam. You can compress it down and frequency hop all over he place. Hell you can do all of the above at the same time. But the signal that you cant tell is a signal and/or cant find quickly enough can not be triangulated in near real time.
In the US the supreme court has no method of enforcing it's decisions that's the job of the executive branch which is free to ignore it and congress is free to impeach if they do so ignore.
PS when you get down to it there is only the rule of the gun, ultimately force must be used.
It's nice they do not want there children taught facts. If you extend that out I can find a religion that does not believe in math should all children not be allowed to learn math? This is not a moral issue any church that goes near this should be loosing there tax exempt status as they are not a political origination trying to force there religious views on the masses. If you have faith it does not matter what your taught, if your trying to perform indoctrination people into a faith it does. The state should never play any part in such activities witch is the core of that amendment to keep the sate out of faith and faith out of politics.
Nonbelievers assumes faith. Were getting to the point we need to start institutionalization these people the same as the people that think they are Elvis, talk to dead people, and otherwise has such significant psychological issues that they are a danger to themselves and/or others. Pretty much a danger to others as I do not begrudge an adult human there choice to do whatever they want to as long as I'm not forced to subsidize it or they try to force there insanity on my children.
None of those agreements restrict the country from setting allowed prices or default licence. Your free not to sell it in there country but once you do your bound by the local laws.
That study is pretty well broken it looks only at aggregate power generation. It assumes the ability to shift energy over long distances and between nation states with near perfect efficiency.
Base load is simple there are two clean methods hydro that's pretty much tapped out.and atomic. The solution has been staring us in the face for decades build more long life reactors of a standard design.
With a 8x pcie interface this sounds like most of the motherboard is on the card. You would be pressed to get storage IO and network IO though that interface forget memory. It's not going to handle many 40gb infiniband adapters or they will move onto the card. This sound alot like the old industrial single board computers of the 80's and 90's.

The only thing EOL about the 5505 is the AIP SSC (which was a heaping POS).

A simple list is useless, you need to be able to research to find a good lawyer.
Go full out to proselytizing to anybody under the age of 18 except the parents and they can not have help.

It's only sad that they force this on the children. Adults being idiots and culling themselves off is a good thing.
So don't use ipads they are a walled garden to begin with.
If it supports DLNA just setup a converter there are many to choose from that can cross convert in real time.

The question is would you like to be hung or firing squad neither of them is very good.

Sure just make sure all government armed forces must use it for at least a decade before civilians.
