So science, religion and porn have three things in common with your network. Neither of them are really going to play a huge role in the decision of the topology or specifics regarding your hosts.
What is important to consider are what are your requirements for the specific applications that apply to your curriculum today and in the near term. These things dictate what is necessary to support your environment. If you don't know what you should be using I would consult a similar audience rather then the general populace. In practice, I've generally found most educational institutes are staffed with at least some individuals who do thrive in the industry. (Hint, industry experience is a good thing).
In any event, this is a very long winded ask slashdot, but offers very few details. Even if someone said to change all of your systems to XYZ using ABC it wouldn't really matter. You can't base a purchasing decision on a few paragraphs. I certainly don't want to draw up a diagram of how your architecture should work and toss out a handful of applications.
The bottom line is that you should know at least some of these details. What are the pain points with whatever and certainly not detailed plans on the horizon.
Here is my two cents....
Come up with a consistent approach to your operating system selection and configuration. Ensure you have the capabilities to deliver a clean and automated of said services. With only 10 individuals it will really will become a painful support paradigm if you continue with some haphazard configuration.
As far as software selection.... because I know virtually nothing about what you currently use or specific fields this is in regards to... I want you to find the most expensive application that does a single 10th of what you want it to do. Buy lots of this software and pray they release the features you need in the next release.
Seems like a adver-troll by proposing such a silly argument.
It's a straight forward documented restful api. No biggie, written a few myself and it is always a bonus to get some decent usage examples.
I'm not sure you would be classified as a google fanboy for pointing out the obvious.
Looking over the API and the simpler nature of the subject I doubt it would take a few weeks. If you have some code lingering around to manage similar API's you can sling together an app over a weekend.
I work with fairly large files for video as well. I prefer xfs for being able to ensure large contiguous reads. There are a great deal many options available outside of the default setup.
Fragmentation however will be unavoidable depending on the size and available free space.
Well that would be because PXE is pretty ancient stuff.
I have a gPXE deployment on my home network which screams like a banshee on roller blades.
Gigabit speeds, transfers over http and a good deal more configuration options.
With gPXE you can bootstrap a machine from Taiwan over the wan. The kicker is you still need a local agent to serve the tftpboot portion.
Beyond speeds the main benefit I find with gPXE is the ability to now load balance the kickstart servers. Even dhcpd has some features built in to assist with this which is very handy when you depend on those tftpboot services.
Now that said the documentation for gPXE is worse then PXE! The heavier weight rom can also be problematic for some cards, but I haven't had time to completely kill all of my personal bugs for a bit.
The History channel's Modern Marvels nearly always provides a reference to the ancient rome.
So much so that a running joke amongst my friends is that when Modern Marvel's eventually covers the "data center" they will likely mention it was first invented by the Romans.
That is where I keep all of my important documents.
I have a nasty habbit of wiping out my home directory and ever since the janitor app died it's been a good world writable location.
Now I can share important projects, personal documents and data troves.
In fact the tmp directory worked so well for my data needs that I moved all of home to that directory. I wanted to facilitate synergy between users.
Eventually a friend gave me a wonderful suggestion of migrating the entire operating system to tmp. Through a clever array of symlinks I have moved all the original folders to tmp and created links in the original locations. I now have the best of both worlds!
This is pretty much all thanks to a friend of mine who has a sys admin gig at a nearby college. He's even helping me work out a new system of backups via the high speed tape interface "/dev/null."
He is pretty friendly so if you are on irc you can look him up under his nick BOFH for some friend sys admin tips.
I doubt any of the atom processors would even blink at a little firewall chain. A modem pentium chip has more then enough power to handle most routing needs.
Now, if you want to support some really high end traffic then you have other things to worry about other then processor limitations.
There are some charts for various dsl modems showing bandwidth and connection capabilities. The units which can handle a significant amount of traffic are not in the low range regarding cost.
I had a similar setup at my last job. It was amazing for productivity. Above all else we found that it fosters efficient, fast and powerful rapid development.
While your design neglects power naps and the benefits of inebriation I believe it could suffice.
Since Ec2 requires a credit card I'm sure they have already been paid. However, I've wondered how long til someone uses a fraudulent card to do something vicious.
Unless the attackers were not that bright and used their actual credit cards.
Actually he is pretty much on target as to why tablets have kinda sucked. I admit he did not express this opinion very well, but again he is in the ball park.
I remember playing around with an early tablet with an MS tablet variant on it a while back.
I really like the concept and we liked what we could potentially do with the device, but it's like putting the squares in the place of the circles in a peg board.
Lets look at smart phones as an example market. I have a windows smart phone and I really like it. The OS is still very quirky and I would never dream of having a keyboard-less phone. There are places where writing applications support the stylus, but it falls completely apart when I need to type in that area as well.
Now, if you want a really good idea of how a table should work with the OS I would hunt down the MS vaporware video on you tube. They had some really good ideas in there, but we all know how their implementation really hits home.
I will give Apple some credit for making everything work reasonably well on their phone. (I don't own one and I wouldn't buy one, but I can appreciate what they have done there).
Who knows perhaps this will spur some development in the area, but lets not kid ourselves as to why they have traditionally been sucktastic.
Everyone has a PUE? It's a rating by which you determine your efficiency.
I was talking with one engineer who had designed some interesting storage units. He was like yeah, in theory, it has a PUE of 1. Uhhh... you mean no cooling costs? He said, "Precisely."
It actually uses a very novel method of cooling, but they never went into production to my knowledge.
This is precisely what they were referring to in terms of too prescriptive in requirements. Through some innovation in varying scales you can produce some systems which perform far superior to TODAY'S conventional technologies.
Also note, in some of the larger shops they engineer some of their own devices. This may or may not fall into the confines of what is described in a mandate. Gasp! I know, more strange innovation. However, this is an area where many individuals and corporations have been trying to be king of efficiency for years.
He basically used the parts blast technique to isolate the problem. No where in the article did I read any actual troubleshooting steps.
In situations like this there are two methodologies that can be applied. In a system with many components its usually easier to use a reduction technique. It's just a play on the isolation technique, but removing a large number of components.
For home troubleshooting you can still get fairly far without a lab full of equipment or spare parts. However, you don't need to rush to the store to replace every component. Memory, hard drives, processors and even some testing can be targeted against the motherboard in a limited extent.
If you are very lucky you may even have some debug information available from the motherboard itself.
A good linux rescue cd with the right tools for testing and diagnostics can do a world of good. Unfortunately, I don't have time to write a really good article and apparently the TFA didn't either.

Don't forget people sometimes kill each other as a source of food.
I would like to see a thread of the strangest reasons why people kill each other.

It took me a while, but I managed to decode your message.
Confirm the following transmission, "Snape kills Dumbledore."
The ramifications are going to be industry wide if this is true!

Sorta close on the analogy.
We only gave the order to "fire" 42 times. It just so happened that said order is given to 10,000 troops.
Oops, looks like the little guy is swiss cheese.

The presenter certainly didn't convey the context in which those quotes are memorable.
However, based on your responses I'm not sure what you would find humorous.
We'll look into finding some of the comic strips from the free prizes in cracker jack boxes.
It's good to start slow and gradually work up to substance.
Memory is RAM!
This is exactly how the new river world described the end of the earth.
See you on the banks my friend!

Unless the attackers were not that bright and used their actual credit cards.
I am little more concerned at the apparent theft of a vehicle. I hope there were at least no passengers on board.
That is a very serial representation. Give this a try and see if you feel more efficient.
