Yes, but it will be oversubscribed like any connection. You'll never have 100% of the users online using 100% of their available bandwidth. You can expect this to service at least twice that many users, but probably a lot more.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed that. If you can't even get facts right regarding something that takes about 2 seconds to search for on google, it kind of calls into question their ability to analyze complex intelligence. For what it's worth, you can use the Feedback link to let them know.
I hear things on the Internet can be changed. People can buy a Kindle for half the price of one college textbook. There's no excuse about "access to a computer".
Literally everything you've mentioned is addressed using any modern MDM platform (Air-Watch, MobileIron, etc). Maybe try doing some research, like, I don't know, one Google search?

Serious question - I've seen some amateur rockets recently that were pretty impressive, like the guy that was building the 6+ foot tall sugar (?) fuel rockets. How close are we from hobbyists being able to put something into low earth orbit? I'm guessing not even remotely? Can someone give me an idea of scale - like hobbyists are making it up 30,000 feet and we need to make it up 60 miles or something?
Anyone could choose to operate exclusively via the satellite network, but you could also use it to access the Internet. The ground stations could also provide an additional back haul, maybe using a Tor like system of encrypted tunnels, just for some extra resiliency. The same way most corporate networks might use a broadband and VPN to backup a some other private ip service (eg - frame, mpls, etc)
You realize it takes a fairly large boat to carry a cruise missile right? We're not talking about inflatable rafts with outboards. Ships that size show up on radar. Air craft carriers are protected not only by other smaller boats, but also by helicopters and jets. And Tomahawks have a range of about 1,500 miles while Iran's cruise missiles have a range of about 100-200 miles, so the fleet will stand off the coast relatively far. Then, let's imagine by some miracle, this Iranian boat launches, isn't detected by AWAC or visually by a drone, then goes 1,000 miles at about 15 knots straight towards a U.S. Navy fleet and fires it's lone missile, it will have to get past severalsmallcountermeasures first. And let's not forget that the USS Stark got hit with TWO Exocet Missiles (while it was in port and thought it was safe) and wasn't sunk.
Anything is possible, but it is EXTREMELY unlikely that this sort of attack would work. If they even attempted this we would immediately retaliate with Tomahawk missiles and completely cripple Iran. Their best case scenario might be to sink one Destroyer (incredibly unlikely) while the U.S. launches a couple dozen Tomahawks and destroys every power plant, major intersection, water treatment plant, etc and anything that broadcasts anything resembling a radio signal.
The last thing in the world Iran wants is to engage in an actual armed conflict with the U.S. Navy. They threaten to block the straights every few years to drive up oil prices. They did it in June of 2008 and June of 2006. Probably more often than that honestly. This was just a convenient time to do it.
No, it won't. The U.S. Navy is more than capable of defending itself against supersonic cruise missiles. The only time a ship has been hit with a missile was when the Stark was in port refueling.
ESSM is designed to counter supersonic maneuvering anti-ship missiles.
That's just one of several layers of defense, which also include the RIM-161 and Phalanx CIWS (including the Block 1A and later which is designed to intercept supersonic missiles).
And I love... uh... whatever you are. You see, the US is crazy. In 2012 the US will spend between 1 and 1.4 trillion on Defense. That's 3-4 times the GDP of Iran. It's not a fair fight, at all. The US Navy would crush Iran literally overnight. Just think "Shock and Awe". Iraq had one of the most powerful air forces on the planet and it was destroyed in a matter of hours. Then we would inevitably spend the next 10 years wasting trillions of dollars trying to rebuild it and failing miserably. I'm certainly not advocating for that situation, but if you think for a second that Iran has any chance to defense against the US military you are delusional.
Do they sound a little less "asymmetric" now? Yes, you could bombard the coastline heavily, but some caves can go pretty deep, particularly if the cavers bring mining equipment - 25 years ago.
Good luck hiding the missile and launchers in a cave. And as soon as it's fired one of the drones circling over head will immediately identify the source and either launch it's own missile to destroy it or call in for help. Let's also not forget the destroyers will be continually shelling several miles of coastline and drones will be identifying any target that even gets CLOSE to the coast where jets and ship based artillery will hammer it.
As for a 98% "kill chance" - it has a 0% kill chance against the US Navy protected by lots of neattoys. The YJ-82 hasn't been "high-tech" for at least 20 years and only has a range of a little over 100km, far below the range of a Navy Aircraft Carrier. The only thing they'll be able to sink are unarmed tankers. And if they do, they're cutting off their own nose to spite their face. Most of their revenue is from oil and we'd be cutting off their delivery lanes.
You fucking idiot fucks think you can honestly sling nukes around wherever you feel like it ? You need to be slapped down, and hard.
And if they decided to all attack the US, the US would launch thousands of nukes and essentially destroy the planet. Do you really think they would go down without a fight? Don't be stupid.
Because the US navy still relies on large aircraft carriers
That's correct. Along with cruisers, destroyers, frigates, submarines and an assortment of aircraft. Do you think we just float 1 aircraft carrier 300 yards off the coast of Iran?
So your plan is to launch 2,000 boats, each large enough to be armed with a missile that is powerful enough to sink a Destroyer, and to do it all simultaneously?
.......
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!! oh man you need to stop watching movies. so mid-air colisions are a concern, when the predators can fly at different altittudes, but no concerns over your 2,000 boats running into each other? hashdahaha jesus I can only hope you're 12 years old.
That's called "cutting off your nose to spite your face". Iran only exists because of their oil exports. If they cut off the the strait, they're going to have a little trouble getting it past the entire US Navy so they can deliver it to China.

A "new" PIX? Cisco hasn't sold PIX for 4 years, it was replaced by the ASA line. And neither PIX or the ASA line have _ever_ run IOS.

HIPAA does not prohibit the storage of sensitive data on laptops and other mobile devices, it just requires you to secure data at rest.
Can you imagine being the guy who forgot to put the semicolon at the end of a line, and then uploaded the code? You'd never heard the end of that one.

Too expensive for whom? If the strait is blocked how does Iran ship their oil to their customers (read: China)?
Sounds interesting, can you please post your sources?
Really? Even if they kick you out?
Because the US navy still relies on large aircraft carriers
That's correct. Along with cruisers, destroyers, frigates, submarines and an assortment of aircraft. Do you think we just float 1 aircraft carrier 300 yards off the coast of Iran?
And when they mine the straight, how do the ship their oil to their customers?
Precision bombing only works if you can find the target, and USA is running short on accurate intelligence.
Source please.
Good luck getting a ship, large enough to carry a weapon that can destroy a carrier, past the US Navy's assortment of Destroyers and Frigates.
So your plan is to launch 2,000 boats, each large enough to be armed with a missile that is powerful enough to sink a Destroyer, and to do it all simultaneously?
