So first you disagree, then change the analogy to a totally reasonable method for securing objects?
When people need to secure physical objects at work (eg - HR files, keys to storage areas, etc), what do they do with them? That's right - the lock them in offices. This is a completely reasonable method for securing things.
You never said it was "likely in US denominated assets". You said "They need to do one thing for sure though - diversify out US denominated assets ". I'd like to know your source that says most of Apple's overseas assets are "US denominated assets".
Yeah I should be more specific. I mean actual trained LAN administrators. In the days of SONET/ATM/Frame-Relay a CCNA was absolutely lost when you stepped into the world of long haul transport. But with Metro-E a lot of that knowledge becomes directly applicable. Sure you might not know what G-PON is or an add drop mutliplexer, but at least an gigabit ethernet interface runs at 1Gb and has speed and duplex settings!
In the US I never understood the unlocked phone thing if you want a new smartphone. It's not like if you're unhappy you can take your brand new Verizon LTE phone and go to AT&T (or vice versa) because the hardware is only compatible with one network or the other. And if you sign a 2 year agreement they'll subsidize $300-$600 of the cost of the device.
I always like the idea of standardizing on Ethernet, because it allows people to move from small LAN administration far more easily. Reducing the different types of skills required to run ISPs increases the talent pool which is good for everyone.
Establish an IT steering committee. Get all those people who have projects assigned to IT (director, executive, vp, etc) into one room and make them argue over what's most important. Use a 1-10 number system based on functional area to start with. For us (mid-sized healthcare company) it would be like: Clinical, Finance, Operations, Legal (etc).
Have this meeting every other month (at least), because priorities change. One of the main goals here is just to make sure that everyone knows what you have going on. When one random director gives you a project he doesn't realize you have 900 other projects going on, how could he? A big part is just giving everyone more visibility into IT's workload and priorities.
What they want is to have the hospital sit these in their waiting room which is full of a captive audience all day, which is essentially having the tablet promoted by the hospital (by virtue of the hospital seemingly buying them, even though they're free). Then it's sold to the hospital as a 'favor" when really they're just turning the patient waiting room into a tablet showroom floor.
Seeing some the posts here are really kind of sad. We have a daily standup meeting, it usually lasts 15-30 minutes with 8 people. It's basically "what am i up to today" kind of meeting and letting anyone know about any problems we're seeing. But more importantly, it's a time to build relationships and it can be very cathartic. It's the safe place to complain about that annoying user, and to have someone remind you that they're just human and they don't work in IT and we're here to help them. It's really sad to see so many people dismiss standup meetings, maybe I'm just lucky to have a group of people who get along relatively well?
Well it's good to know I don't have to every consider buying a Microsoft device. If I hate it or want to get more life out of it later, I can't install anything else on it, so it's not even a remote possibility. That's nice of them, it makes my purchasing decisions that much easier, I can just write them off entirely.
According to Comcast's filings (pdf) with the FCC, they've deployed new hardware and software close to the company's Regional Network Routers (RNRs). This hardware will flip a user from the standard "Priority Best-Effort" traffic (PBE) to lower quality of service (QoS) "Best-Effort" traffic (BE) for fifteen minutes if they're a major reason congestion exists.
They can't outright block DNS traffic. They attempted to throttle traffic, not even block, and got their hand slapped. And when you start monkeying with traffic it gets a lot harder to fall back on Safe Harbor provisions of the DMCA, which can put them in a very precarious position.

Yeah absolutely, I agree. I'm not arguing, just clarifying :)

Doing this is as bad, if not worse, than putting a post-it note with the rude password on your desktop monitor.
Not if you have a reasonably sane method of securing the private keys. I'm not advocating password-less keys, but that comparison is WAY overboard.
Sounds like the perfect job for ClusterSSH!
You mean RHEL vs CentOS. Fedora is a bleeding-edge desktop distro, not a replacement for RHEL.

The problem isn't moving money out of the US, it's getting it back in.

WiMax was stillborn. LTE (and eventually LTE-Advanced) has already won.

Try it, I dare you.

Chrome has been a platform for a long time ... where have you been?
Just fyi, It's called a correlated subquery.

It became our "God-given right" when we paid for a service called "unlimited" ?

Well it certainly wasn't the next big one. PHP wasn't introduced until 1995.

SOPA doesn't stop any competent person from getting to anything.

It will be oversubscribed by at least 100% (probably more), so 12,000 is probably a low estimate of the number of users a satellite could service.
