No of course I'd love to let you hookup your 0-day FTP server and bittorrent tracker. I mean iCalDevWTFServer. I hope you catch my drift here. Obviously they need to know exactly what this is being used for at the very least.
In reality, If you tried to hook that up on my (health care company) network I would very politely tell you that it's against company policy (non-approved, not company owned hardware) and you can take it up with corporate compliance to get approval.
Can you please cite the section in HIPAA that specifies that ANY system connected to a network owned by a covered entity must be secured pursuant to the regulation, regardless of whether or not it contains ePHI?
There's no way I'd open a port on a firewall from the public interface to the inside interface. That completely defeats the purpose of having a DMZ. You set something up in the DMZ to proxy the requests.
That's some of the most disconnected babbling I've ever seen. We arrest people here for spousal abuse. In the middle east crowds of people will stone a woman to death for adultery. If you cannot see the distinction you are completel disconnected from reality.
And to speak to your other completely unrelated point, everyone in the US has the CHANCE to succeed, nothing is guaranteed, and the privileged and wealthy sure have a better shot at it than the poor.
Why would there be a surge in Android sales between iPhone releases? Why wouldn't people buy the latest iPhone? Are you saying that Android phones released after the iPhone 4 are superior? I don't follow your logic there.
No, it's the year of the "cloud" the web based application running in datacenters on commodity hardware running linux. Post-PC, remember? The desktop isn't relevant anymore.
Eh, it's kind of a strawman argument. You're implying that android phones don't "just work" which is not the case at all. Some Android phones are fantastic.
Anyone in IT (especially someone in what could be considered a "geek circle") who isn't familiar with NAS is incompetent. Sorry. That's a simple fact. If you don't know what SAN, NAS and DAS is you have no right standing in a datacenter unless you're taking a tour.
And I don't have a purpose built NAS, and never will, because I build my own server(s) that do far more than just export storage to clients. Right now that consists of a rackmounted box with a q6600, 8GB ram, with 10TB of storage running centos+xen kernel with about 3-4 guests on it (dns, http, ftp, cifs, and whatever else im testing at the time).
The reason that the sales numbers for NAS isn't huge is because internal hard drives are enormous these days (3TB) and anyone who needs more than that typically just uses an old PC and stuffs a couple disks in it. There aren't many people that aren't competent enough to build their own server and have storage requirements that high. You are in the minority.
Well considering we didn't establish REAL social wellfare programs until the last 50 or so years I wouldn't get too excited, we're not out of the woods yet.
I didn't realize it was based on RedHat at all. My understanding is Xen doesn't even use a Linux kernel and it's based on Nemesis. I'm very poorly educated on the subject, but if you've got some more information I'd like to check it out. We're VMWare customers in the datacenter but I use Xen personally (on CentOS).
Tough to say, eventually it will become less expensive to transition to IPv6 than to pay exorbitant amounts of money for IPv4 addresses. That cost will vary depending on the organization and the cost and complexity of the transition.
I'm sorry, you think NAS 4 years ago was cutting edge? Are you joking? Even DLink was making them four years ago (look at the published date). But somehow it was "unheard of even in geek circles". Please tell me I just missed the joke.
I really cannot overstate the difference that going from an HDD to an SSD makes. You really just have to see it to believe it. I'm sure I'll get modded down for this, but I wanted a cheap light laptop and ended up buying a 13" macbook air. It boots up from completely powered off in 9 seconds. Let me repeat that, it boots up, from completely powered off, in NINE SECONDS. Feel free to lookup the youtube videos if you don't believe me, or go to a Best Buy and try it for yourself. The speed difference between a 5400 and 10k RPM drive is _NOTHING_ compared to going to an SSD.
One thing to consider is the price per capacity and how that affects performance. You can get Intel MLC based SSDs for about $2.15/GB and SLC based SSDs for about $11.70/GB. That can translate into 4x the number of drives at the same capacity, which is four times the controllers working together in a storage system. Then you can front end that with large write caches and you _MIGHT_ end up coming out ahead in performance.
Depends on the environment, but both of those can be stopped relatively easy assuming you have control over the endpoint. Something as simple as the Microsoft Group Policy to disable USB mass storage devices and not having any printers, or restricting access to the printer network/VLAN from systems that contain sensitive information.
If the web proxy terminates the tunnel, decrypts the traffic, looks at it, and then recreates a new https connection to the actual destination. That's the argument anyway. As I posted above, I don't know of any forward proxies doing SSL termination, but technically I think it would be possible, so I wouldn't be surprised if there was web proxy software that did it.
That's called SSL termination, and as far as I know is only done for reverse proxies, not forward proxies. If you're aware of a forward web proxy with this feature I would definitely be interested. I don't believe our current vendor (WebSense) does this, at least on the version we have in place (7.1).
Incorrect. The hardware in a netbook is completely different than the hardware in a smartphone. The hardware in an Apple iPad is the exact same hardware that's in an iPhone. The only difference, essentially, is the screen size. Netbooks are totally different than smartphones.

Depends on the workload. In virtualized environments with very mixed workloads (eg - a few hundred virtual desktops) turbo boost is incredible.
Are you sure you know what genocide means? Because I can assure you the US isn't committing genocide.

specific requirements != just works but the droid pro runs android 2.2 and would be a pretty good option for you.

Sure - but how much did the proprietors walk away with?

Those charts illustrate the point sufficient for our purposes. It's fairly safe to say that the USB 3.0 interface isn't the bottleneck.
