Just for starters, in any serious company, you would need another one of each for redundancy purposes.
Depending on your company size you will need 2 or 3 more of each.
And then comes regulation that demands that you have disaster recovery servers in a different location. So multiply each set of servers by 2.
And this is only in your country or region. You have a similar arrangement in each country (poor you) or if you are more lucky, on each region.
And then you have the Development and Q&A servers that mimic your Production set up, and that thus require even more names (perhaps in more than one region).
Sorry, but some of you have no idea how stupid it is to use non structured naming conventions in some environments.
... that if salaries are randomly distributed, a lot of people would take salaries below the average anyway? (I would say 50% of people, but I may be wrong).
As long as you can't even figure the basic statistics of the problem frankly you should not even talking about the matter....
Do you buy the same itme in the shop that sells it more expensive?
Given two tradesmen that are equal as far as you know, do you chose the most expensive?
You see? Everybody is trying to spend less, but somehow companies, according to the twisted reasoning of many, should not abide by the same common sense rules....
In most EU countries (sorry US guys, the penny has to drop at some point) we have minimum wages, the difference is that people from poorer countries have to be paid that same minimum wage by law, that way real competition in a level playing field takes place.
You want to boost employment? Enter in an agreement with Mexico to allow free movement of workers and then enforce a minimum wage.
Problem solved.
The problem arises when illegal immigrants arrive, they have no protection and obviously go underground undermining the local workers and legal immigrants.
Both the US and the EU should reach agreements with countries like China, India, North African countries and many others in order to allow an almost free legal immigration and promoting widely the adoption and enforcement of minimum wages.
Some of you really know squat about what you are talking.
Mexico's most important commercial partner is the US, so the money sent back home is used on big measure to buy stuff produced in your country.
Make your third biggest trading partners poorer and lets see who buys your stuff. It may very well be that we will have to turn to China for our business....
So people from other countries are more resourceful and can overcome language barriers, relocate and manage to earn money but not you USians?
Well, maybe you are not the world beaters you think you are.
As for taxes you baffle me: at least with the UK there are intricate treaties to avoid double taxation, which I am sure is the case with many countries...
All the clever people in University are mostly non Americans, and Americans are going mostly for softer options, they don't like hard science.
People in rich countries keep saying that there is a great pool of talent of natives, but as soon as you begin to interview people the ones that are more qualified are the guys from India, China, Mexico, Singapore, Spain, Poland, South Africa and other such countries.
The big pool of capable locals in rich countries is a myth which is propped up incesantly in this website by wishful thinking instead of hard facts.
They kept descendants of former slaves and other minorities complete and utter poverty, denying them any services that were offered to other citizens.
If you think that those people hadmuch sanitation, education and general public services, well, I have a bridge in San Francisco I would like to sell you....
Patriotism is all well and good (not really, but I will humour you) but by buying first local and USian you are only deciding economical matters using non economics reasons.
That is great if that makes you feel happy, but if the businesses you are supporting are inefficient you are making yourself a disservice by paying too much for your goods and services, and thus supporting companies that are not getting more efficient....
They are real clever and driven by greed and profit, which means we are insured because if we lose they lose.
That is going to work *real* well.
With politicians at least you have democratic accountability. What have your dollars decided if they are gambled or literally burned by people that should have known better?
A wise person should know when it is time to try new ideas. The geniuses at Wall Street had their chance and blew it, enter the politicians to try to clean up the mess.

If you have proper change management policies there is no chance in hell that a computer changing function would keep the same name.
A change of function would start a project, part of which would be to deal with host names in an standardized manner.

As for your head exploding, after all the nonsense you wrote, it may be very beneficial :-P
I will go and find it for you.
If you administer 200 that is completely and utterly useless.
.... have never been centrally planned economies, specially the UK.
Choose your examples wisely, what you are trying to say may be true but your examples are lousy to say the least.
The government has to play games because if they would open the labour market properly they would be voted out of office.
People prefer the smoke and mirrors system rather than to compete fairly by opening the borders to foreign labour.

Welcome to capitalism.

It just needs to be a minimum commonly agreed, that would ensure what you are saying.
Once people would know this, they would decide if the wage is adequate or not, in the knowledge that anybody paying less would be braking the law.

This simply is untrue.
Just check GDP or per capita income data.

We have 100 million Mexicans, and sure as hell you don't have us all in the border trying to cross illegally.

And the universal declaration of human rights for good measure.
If you are a token of how well educated Americans are then my opinion about why it is better to hire foreigners has just been reinforced...
All the clever people in University are mostly non Americans, and Americans are going mostly for softer options, they don't like hard science.

YOu don't choose the kind of live you want to live when it comes to economics.
Markets tell you how much your skills are worth and you better make the best out of it.
If other people are satisfied with far less income than you, just wishing this fact to go away will not improve your wage.
Show some evidence of the contrary if you can.
What has your family have to do with finding a new job in a different place?
Lots of folks around here use their family to cover for lack of integrity and principles ...

Let the wizz kids in Wall Street decide instead.
They are real clever and driven by greed and profit, which means we are insured because if we lose they lose.
That is going to work *real* well.

We are friends and all, but if our currency keeps tanking, releasing a few billions may help keep it stable against speculation....
I have seen environments in which you can't support more than 20 users given the kind of application being used.
