I find it strange that nobody yet has given a reference to Catalyst, the best MVC framework for Perl. From people that have tried both (not me), it is said to be the equivalent of RoR for Perl. I can't back that because I'm a perl monk and I don't have time for yet another language (what for, when you have already tried the best language?;-)
Application skeleton and database CRUD in 30 seconds (measured!!!). Try it.
"It's only as reliable as your network."Why, yes of course. Just as Fibre Channel is just as reliable as your Fabric Switch and cable.
"You can't boot from an iSCSI volume." Probably true - yet. Probably someone said the same when CD-ROMS jumped on stage: "yeah, but you can't boot from a CD!".
"Most operating systems want to load their storage drivers before they load their networking drivers. Nonsense. Haven't you ever net-booted a Sun? An X-Terminal? a Linux? Come on...
"By putting block level storage on your LAN, you've increased the capacity requirements by several orders of magnitude. To get any reasonable performance you're going to need Gigabit Ethernet everywhere -- and if you're going to make that kind of investment, you might as well be doing Fibre Channel. Again nonsense. Everybody going iSCSI is going to use it the same way as FC: two or more GigaEthernet channels per device, a dedicated switch... Main question is that I can buy a Gigabit NIC for $60, I doubt you can beat that price with fabric. And watch out for GigaSwitches in the $200 price tag by about next year. For god's sake, I've got a 100 Mbit SWITCH over my desk, and I paid $50 for it last year!
This is being done in Spain since 10 years or so. In fact, the power companies tried to become ISPs, and the CNMT (National Telecom Market Comission) ruled them out, they said they would severely disrupt the telecom market.
I have seen lots and lots and lots of/. stories about this stupid Patent Office of your country. I really wonder what will be needed for you (Americans) to decide to put it down. After all, you live in a democracy, don't you? That means "People's Government", so why don't you exercise your vote and kick these stupids off the Patent Office? Isn't there a single of your candidates that promotes a sane patent system, not a brain-damaged one? I'm really worried that the world is technologically led by a country with such a fundamental problem in the main path of technology.
Regarding the subject, it's clearly an ethics issue. If it's against your conscience and you can afford being fired, don't sign it. If it's against your conscience but you can't afford being fired, don't sign it. If it's not against your conscience, sign it. If I were you, I'd start looking for a new job anyway, but I'm strongly commited to my professional ethics, which might not be your case.

Here is the original document from the Junta de Extremadura:

You must be joking.
For the 4 things you've said:
Why on the bloody earth has this been moderated as FUNNY? It's really scary...

How can you be sure they are in the same segment without seeing the netmasks?
