Get Cable Ladders rather than the wire trays. They are larger, but actually that would make them easier to paint. Paint them to match (or contrast) with the walls and ceilings they are mounted to.
Get Cat6 that is colored, again to contrast or match the color.
Neatly cable lace the cables to the ladder (to avoid the rats nest look).
They don't disappear, but they will look better than the standard rats nest in metal wire look of most trays.
Can someone with moderator points PLEASE downmod "Jews Sue" one as flamebait?
A hint for the "Jews Sue" author - if you want to slag someone, at least man up when you do it, and put your name on it. If not, you're just a lame, scared little boy/girl. I have no problems with people speaking their mind (if they have one), but I can't abide a coward slagging someone and not being willing to own up to the slag.
We can fight these stupid decisions coming out of east Texas one by one, or we could be smarter about it. We can try for patent reform, but the $$ involved, they will probably find a way around that as well.
How about we start a PR fund with the goal of flooding the East Texas jury pool (buy TV/Radio/Newspaper/Internet in that geography) explaining why this is bad to the people that will be sitting in the jury box. Explain that it's actually killing small, successful companies, and only enriching the trolls/lawyers who actually did nothing. Call it carpetbagging - should resonate with Texans.
Ahh - did your friend tell Newegg that the mouse was bought at Best Buy? If so, props to Newegg for helping your friend out. If not, I think that's called fraud (and no props to your friend).
There's an interesting book on the subject, which covers the death of the DM in interwar Germany. It's When Money Dies by Adam Fergusson. Maybe it's time for someone to send one to the Miraflores Palace.
<spoiler alert>
It ends badly, really badly
</spoiler alert>
Come to think of it, someone should have sent it to the Presidential Palace in Harare, must have slipped the mind.
Ahh - well, the plane is a sealed metal tube, right? And the pad is in the sealed metal tube right? What else can we call a sealed metal container.... wait for it....
A Faraday cage. That's right kiddies, If a plane gets hit with lightening, it will charge the skin of the plane, but not induce a current inside of the plane - this is why existing electronics in planes aren't fried. Yes, they are flight qualified, but all the laptops that the punters have in the plane don't get fried, the entertainment system doesn't get fried - basically, lightning isn't a big worry. I'm much more worried about other lightening effects (surface damage, fuel ignition - pretty sorted by now, etc)
Now let's talk about depressurization. A computer with rotational media (a hard drive, where air pressure helps float the heads off of the platter) would probably not be too happy about having the air pressure radically change, especially in the downward direction - something about heads plowing little furrows in the disk surface. Similarly, devices that move air to cool their electronics might get a bit warm with the fans blowing a lot less N2 molecules over the heat exchangers. Which of these systems does a pad have? Microsoft may be less than brilliant when it comes to many of their business activities, but I don't even think that Monkey Boy would sign off on a tablet that had either a hard drive or a fan for cooling. So, what's going to be killed by depressurization? If you say the LCD, I'll slap you (lightly) so you'll look up and see the glass cockpit staring you in the face.
Better arguments, please.
So - your use of terminology would lead me to think that you haven't been at this too long (I apologize in advance for the snark if that is not the case). If you deal with certain information, you would certainly NOT use the term CLASSIFIED in discussing the status of that information. CLASSIFIED has a VERY specific meaning in certain domains - including the domain that you seem to indicate that you work in. If you are, indeed, handling such information, I would suggest running, not walking to your FSO for a conversation. It will probably be fairly brutish and short.
If, however, you are dealing with ITAR regulated information, then you have a different set of issues. You may not export the data without a permit, but you don't need to control it specifically within the US. Also, the regulations around foreign persons (or those of dual nationalities) relate to export activities. So, you can't transfer to a foreign person if you know (or suspect) that they are going to export the data. However, foreign persons in the US that aren't an export channel are not an issue (else a whole lot of commerce in the US would halt since I have no idea if another company has any foreign nationals employed, and I don't have to get an ITAR export license to ship something to another domestic company).
In the later case (where we are talking regulation, not classification), you don't have an issue if you don't export the data (don't pick a company with foreign presence for cloud storage). Actually, one could probably be ok if they encrypted it (strongly) and then stored (but you may (or may not) want to talk to your DDTC rep about that.
You should have no problems finding an offsite storage company to provide the service, and/or use someone who allows you to restrict the S3 zones (if AWS is the backend store) to us-* regions. Similar for rackfiles, dream objects, etc.
Another comment here is worth highlighting, however - use consumer services, get consumer service. Go upmarket a bit if you are actually looking for something that your company's bottom line is hung on.
Let's see - collect un-curated, anonymous accusations that someone is a "danger to society" and stick that on a map (of their house, for example). That could NEVER go wrong. It worked very well for decades - I believe the Stasi accepted anonymous tips about people presenting a "societal risk" in the GDR. It made that society SOO much safer. Even better, instead of informing the local constabulary who may be unfortunately constrained in their actions (pesky constitutional protections and all that), we're going to publicize it to the general public who happen to be the neighbors, friends, associates, and COMPLETE strangers. Much better for corrective action to be taken. I'm sure NO ONE with radical ideas would be incited to act based on these unsubstantiated, unverified labels. No one would tell their child to not sell cookies to the man down the street because someone randomly clicked a button on the phone, NO ONE would break into a house to acquire "unsafely stored" weapons (that may not even exist) because someone thought that a person with a ducks unlimited bumper sticker must harbor unsafe guns... Na, that could never happen. Guns-done, what's next, "Strange" parties, suspected "deviant" sexual practices, I know - suspected witches - excellent, we haven't burned, hung and drowned anonymously accused individuals in this country for centuries, oh wait, we have, lynch mobs.
Many states have laws regarding how weapons should be stored, including this crackpot's state (California). If you have a REAL, substantiated concern, go to your local police, or, shudder the thought, the individual you are concerned about. However, you may actually have to make a case for your complaint and justify your statement. If that's too high a bar for you to bother with to enhance your "safety", then either you really aren't that concerned, or you don't really value your safety. If you feel strongly about something, stand up and take ownership, don't go off an anonymously start a whispering campaign.
What's the REAL purpose of this app? It looks, to me like a public shaming, a public shaming for something that is unproven, and possibly/probably completely unjustified.
Slight correction here,
The current Internet Draft that is sighted is not a standard yet (i.e. not an RFC). IF this draft is accepted by the IETF, and published as an RFC, then HTTP 2.0 would be a binary protocol. Since the Internet Draft is a working group draft, it will most likely advance and become an RFC standard, but that is not an automatic process.
Actually, that's the nice thing about XMPP - there are LOTS of XMPP servers (sometimes also called Jabber servers). A list of public (free) servers can be found at https://list.jabber.at/
The great thing about Jabber/XMPP (and the thing that Google just shut off), is that jabber servers can find each other on the net. Therefore, if you have an account as alice@jabber.org, and your friend has the account bob@example.com, you can message each other just as you do now. the XMPP server at jabber.org will find the XMPP server at example.com and give it your message for bob to deliver. It's just like e-mail - only in real (or close to) time.
The rules and requirements for grid-tie are there for a reason. Part of the cost for said system is the testing and validation that the safety circuits work (i.e. will interrupt w/o arc-welding shut in a surge, etc.)
At best, a homebrew system violates the code in your area and you could be liable for connecting such to the grid. It also gives the power company more reason to distrust grid-tie ("see, we told you people would do this...")
At worst, you light up a lineman who is trying to repair the system after a storm.
The disconnect HAS to be certified. If you don't want to buy a commercial inverter, then buy a generator disconnect (but then you aren't grid-tied, that's an either-or).
As for synchronization, if you are putting power on the grid out-of-phase with the grid, you will be really popular with your neighbors, really fast. Within the reach of your generation, you won't be at 120 vAC RMS anymore.
If you grid-tie you are on the grid, period. Electricity flows where it wants, your power becomes others power. Your grand experiment is involving others, if they want it or not.
Please tell me where you live, so I can isolate my house before you do this....
Now, if you want to experiment OFF the grid, that's really cool, and go knock your self out. Just don't include others in your experiment.
I do hope that we don't find out as well, but not because we would have to wait, but because I want to happen LONG from now. Anyone realise what the downside slope of those curves mean?:)
We did this with a physical vault. Each machine's (routers, servers, kerberos domain key (actually stored on a usb key), etc) was generated randomly and printed out and put in a sealed envelope in a fireproof, keyed safe kept in the NOC. They key for the safe was then put in a key lockbox and locked with an "electricians lockout tag" which allows multiple padalocks to lock the same hasp. All padalocks need to be opened to open tke keybox. We used two keys (enforcing a two-man rule) and a security seal. The only way to open it was to open the two padalocks and break the security seal. The security seal number was recorded in the site log. Every shift change, the keys were passed to the site supervisor and another senior person and the security seal checked to insure that the keybox hadn't been opened.
Any time a root password was required the safe was opened (and the fact logged), and the correct password recovered from it's envelope. After use, a new password was generated and placed in a new envelope. At each safe closing, an inventory was taken to insure that all the envelopes were there.
A bit paranoid, but we certainly passed our auditors requirements.

It's worth thinking about a bit more. Any other interest?
