  1. Re:The bottlenecks are elsewhere on 10GbE: What the Heck Took So Long? · · Score: 1

    Multiple drives unraided on a port. Most 16 drive enclosures are two ports. Pretty simple math.

    Link to what google it yourself. Seems like its not too high end (or recent).

    One 6Gb SAS drive (defacto local and network standard in 2013 Datacenters) can do 3-600 MB/s per port (a good deal faster than older 6Gb SAS drives). It's pretty easy to saturate a 10Gb ethernet connection under the right conditions with the standard 2 ports found on an HP, DELL or IBM low end x86 solution.

    Agreed, that's what makes this decision SO interesting.

    I happen to feel it is unnecessary to identify a perp, so we need to have clear legal guidelines how far a genome can be used in court.

    Indeed, just looking at future implications.

    The point is police can speak to a doctor about my medical HISTORY, not my medical FUTURE.
    They cannot read my medical records, nor should they able to sequence my genome and find potential for FUTURE MEDICAL, or if we're looking into future here, risk of FUTURE CRIME (ie propensity for crime, certain damaged genes/code, high likelihood of quantifiable low intelligence.).

    The point is you can tell a lot of about a person which is "none of your damn business" so to apeak from their genome, which you cannot tell from a finger print of iris scan.

    Fingerprints and irises are non-invasive and reasonably reliable compared to Genome testing for identification of perps. When it comes to privacy I prefer to err on the side of caution and 4 well informed SCOTUS judges.

    It's what is visually apparent to a layman, but to be able to run computer simulation on a perps genome seems a bit far.

    The difference is, a finger print does not contain medically private data.

  14. Let's have our cake on Why Everyone Gets It Wrong About BYOD · · Score: 1

    Look, where I am BYOD is totally OK. We are provided lots of options for secure OTG access and training to avoid breaches.

    Here's my person opinion and what I advocate for in my work:
    I support doing everything you can to isolate clients from servers- from data access to workflow/process. There is no reason this level of authentication cannot be implemented on BYOD as the next step. That said, BYOD is only sustainable long term if accompanied by a mature self-service support model. IT should provide the virtualized environment setup, but once it's on your device you are "on your own". Devices now are so homogeneous- soon it won't be an issue to support random/phones/tablets/PCs. Save money supporting on the front end, consolidate your back end and support the hell out of it. Companies should supply replacement and loaner hardware if they need to confiscate a user device, for say, legal reasons or company interests.

    End of story, everything else here is overkill. KVM sounds just about right for your needs and is very stable and FREE.

    You can provide people with a variety of images and single command to deploy them (without root). It's not even that hard to setup. The hard part really is setting up an LDAP server to meet your needs.

    More than you know. I use pounds, inches and other Imperial measurements all of the time. I use them to fix old things- which one day will be gone. Holding on to an antiquated measurements is senseless, though. There seem to be economic benefits to metric standardization likely far beyond propping up the odd parts manufacturer.

    Using Imperial measurements for anything in 2013 is analogous to people who research their reports with a twenty year old Encyclopedia Britannica. It's not righteousness, it's common fracking sense.

    Unfortunately, a narrow view born from wisdom is usually indistinguishable from ignorance.

    To decide which it is, you need to ask yourself, is what is the alternative view(s)?
