News organisations are always wanting to protect their sources, so now they want the FBI to give out theirs? So the next time they are asked to give their sources on something are they going to? Not likely. Also, what reason do they need to know who or how it was cracked? As for costs, being tax payers money, that should be disclosed but that's about it.
Keep it simple. I work at a college, and what we do for desktops is, we name them after location, room, number of workstation. So if the workstation is at our aviation campus in room Y109 and it's the 3rd workstation, it would be AVY10903 (AV-Aviation, Y109-Room, 03-3rd workstation) Laptops, we tie to users, we give it the users login name as the laptops name. We find this easy so when we have staff/faculty turn over, we are not running to workstations to rename them, and if its a laptop user that is being replaced, the laptop is returned to IT and we get it ready for the next user.
This may or may not work for you, but it works for me.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, was the internet not designed, developed and 'released' through the US Department of National Defense and Universities? If it wasn't for them, we probably would not have it. The US has had control of the internet since it's inception and appears to be working pretty good the way it is being managed now. Leave it the way it is.
