    Make sure you work for an employer who cares about experience, and not the joke a certification is.

    Most home users have static or static-like (Comcast, for example, ties the DHCP IP to your MAC address) addresses. Other option is to run your own recursive server on the company network and provide that DNS IP to your users.

    Level3 is in the process of ACLing off 4.2.2.1 from the world so only downstream transit customers can use it. Google the Outages mailing list for more info.

    There was a thread on NANOG a day or two ago talking about Level3 is starting to ACL off 4.2.2.1 off from the world except downstream transit customers. I would recommend against using that DNS server, and look at someone like OpenDNS.

    When I was comparing farming to a vineyard, it was reflecting how neither make any money unless you're lucky, and you hope to simply break even most of the time. Please dial the pompous ass vibe a bit.

    If by God suing, you mean smiting the shit out of them, I'm all for it (sometimes it sucks not believing in a deity when there could be some sweet ass smiting involved).

    As an IT professional/business owner who took up farming for the fun of it (124 acres to start, slowly buying up more land), farming is like owning a vineyard. You barely break even most years. So do I blame farmers who are trying to make their lives easier with Montasano products? No. I do blame Montasano for their practices, and because of that don't use their products myself.

    Yes, because clearly, I'm the only person who points these things out. Hard drive or not, it's a little far-fetched that if you're a huge evil organization storing copies of people's brains, you're not keeping backups somewhere, or you're using small, easily damaged media where horrible things happen if it's destroyed. I can suspend disbelief for scifi, but not common sense.

    True. At that point you should be getting 1 or 2 U colo somewhere and have a NAS with 10-15TB of disk space that you can backup to, and get your data from, anywhere.

    I agree with everything you said except using foam. I'd suggest using a material that would still protect the drive, but conduct the heat from the drives to the exterior of the ammo box quickly (a la heatpipe/sink style).

    Plausible deniability is only needed if what they're doing is illegal. Is it? I'm not sure paying someone is against the law.
