...or the first thing about TCP/IP. when you have to start bartering individual IPs with other ISPs, how do you propose to subnet it? How are you going to admin it? Particularly when every man and his toaster want their own IP addresses? This is just such a dumb idea that I'm gobsmacked. It'd totally break DNS and the current model of the internet, hence it won't happen. Dumb, dumb, dumbitty-dumb dumb.
With DNS, *why* would you want to port your IP address, anyway?
say they quadruple your storage. they now need 4x the amount of disks on their servers. assuming they're doing it properly, with SCSI RAID, then this isn't trivial - they may already have the max size disks that'll fit internally in their servers. Going bigger than this might involve migrating to a SAN or similar, which is not cheap/easy/risk-free enough to be worth doing unless your users really *need* more storage. Do a scan of a company network's file/print servers and see what proportion of the files are actually *business related* (as opposed to MP3s and other tat) and chances are it'd be even harder to justify the resources.
What the hell are you talking about? "Users can install their own hard drives?" Oh, yes, our tech support just gets hammered with users trying to install hard drives in the office, they just can't get enough of them. Many's the morning I've come down and found Janine's built a wall on her cubicle out of those 250 Maxtor's purchasing had us buy last month.
It's not only services that you don't know about, obviously. And this gets modded informative? To what, brain dead ants?
...unless you're doing it via a wifi laptop, which is overkill. the slimp3 devices et al add the option of hifi-like controls, something that's glaringly absent in apple's new offering. i don't want to have to leave my laptop on or at home when i'm out so the missus can stream audio - i want a small device with a "PLAY" button on it and an LED display of track names.
...some UK companies pipe live radio stations like Radio 1 to their hold music. you'd need to licence it, but it's always new, doesn't get stale and people *might* not mind listening to it.
i doubt many corporation's IS managers fancy sending their staff on any trips that go anywhere near the H word. whether that's right or wrong's another matter, but the OP's point was perfectly valid, not a "stupid comment".

...i reckon this is only advertised so that defence contractors can order it with a straight face. if they put in orders for multiple rolls of kitchen foil and suggested sticking it to the walls, they'd get laughed at, but "Faraday Cage Wallpaper" goes through accounts better.
...no. you TEST stuff. rigorously. if you're using automated builds and locked clients, then this is pretty easy - get a preproduction lab setup, test everything and THEN roll it out. if you don't have the skills, hire a contractor that does to set it up for you.
i can tell you that changing group policies on a domain level is something that brings me out in sweats - you NEED TO TEST IT as otherwise some tiny check box will fsck all your clients domain wide of a monday morning.
the ICF isn't great, but what it does do is BLOCK INCOMING CONNECTIONS ON ALL PORTS VULNERABLE TO INFECTION. not OUTGOING, just INCOMING but that's good enough to get you patched safely unless you're dumb enough to go looking at dodgy sites. sheesh, this isn't rocket science.
also note that any decent firewall (kerio personal firewall's free and great) will also work. those who've installed norton and still got hit are just being plain dumb.
why not use UTC? it's there, it works, hell we've been using it for years. this is a solution looking for a problem - and it's a frigging DUMB SOLUTION, too.
one of the things max moseley's new regs brought in two years ago, along with banning 2-way telemetry, was banning encrypted comms between pit and car. it's back to the days when you *can* pick it up with a scanner. i'll be doing this next month at silverstone.
the cars are always lighter than the 650kg that's the minimum weight for racing - so they're ballasted down with lead or titanium plates - as low as possible for better weight distribution. the crank's pretty low in the car - hence you can make it *really heavy* and not penalise yourself. you'll just need less ballast for FIA regulation.
...you can bash outlook all you want (sure you're not getting caught up in the OE-bashing?) but Exchange server and Outlook clients (i.e. not for pop3 mail) is a pretty good combination, and it's integration of group calendars, etc is pretty much second to non. it's also a defacto industry standard.

what if i steal it and put it in a foil bag?
it's DESIGNED to be used from multiple IP addresses!

what stops you using the 1GB for data storage, then publicising your password so it can be used for filesharing?

sometimes the low-tech approach is the best.

p2p like, say, DNS? or email? or usenet? they're ALL p2p, just not used necessarily for swapping music (apart from usenet, maybe).
