For today I saw 1, that wasn't an answer. Then I tried again and saw 3 which wasn't an answer. So I tried averaging the two.

I thought a hybrid cloud was a combining of public and private clouds. Running a private cloud on internal infrastructure that can be combined with a public cloud sounds like increased workload for the IT team. I'm still waiting for all these innovations that will make the job easier to actually make the job easier. At…

Thanks for the brief intro and the link. I will have to spend more time looking into this.

I really like that you numbered these 1, 1, and 1. Each is very important and there's a big problem if any one is missing.

The high cost has been a major factor in my not pursuing VMware certifications. I'll have to look at Stanley Community College.

I think I would enjoy working for your previous employer, at least for a little while.

Thanks, I'm looking forward to part 2!

Half a billion on a supercomputer. For that price you could buy 10 million or more Rasperry Pi 3s, cluster them, and have one of the most powerful computers in the world. I wonder how the government computer will compare.

Throwing a broken link at us as a hint, nice! Making it a little more challenging!

I own a pair of Bose QC35 noise canceling headphones. They're a wonderful prize and maybe you'll get to enjoy them.

One of my friends has a Roadster and I've been amazed by his dashcam showing incident after incident where the Telsa detects an imminent crash then takes before I notice unusual about the traffic. Of ocurse this won't solve everything because most people aren't going to be able to afford the cars that have such…

This sounds interesting, and data security is important for all of us, so where can non-government employees get CDM details?

I love looking at Hubble photos because, in just about every picture I really look at, I find distant galaxies that may never be seen through atmospheric turbulence. Regarding the fan vibrations, I would love to know how this is done because I didn't think that the power supply for the fans was controlled by any of the…

Four of the five make perfect sense to me, but doesn't Citrix or MSTS qualify as a virtual desktop? Since each user only gets one customizable desktop per account it doesn't seem to fit your description, but I've always thought of it as a virtual desktop since it isn't running on a physical system and is accessible from…

Software definition can only go so far; we still need devices that will run the software defined objects. But the fulfillment of More's Law and increasing bandwidth make this a realistic possibility. I'm starting to think that people are going to decide my preference to come home and cook something instead of having…

The better the interface, the faster you get needed information. With a bad UI, using a monitoring tool can be slower than looking yourself.

Hopefully the rebuilt Apple maps will not try directing me to go the wrong way on one-way streets.

I wish more management recognized how critical that training is, and that if you expect your staff to put in more than 40 hours per week they won't be able to devote the necessary time to education when off the clock.

The same thing happened to me. The pdf said True Delta, I made sure I checked True Delta as opposed to Truth Delta, but I was marked wrong.

Biometrics breach: how stupid do you have to be to develop a system stores usernames, passwords, and biometric data without encrypting it? Especially if the database is going to be accessible over the internet? Stealing VPN passwords: one day people are going to learn that it is important to keep software up to date. But…

I felt really lucky several years ago (2000), back when I was in college and working an internship with Washington state. I received an email from the governor with the subject "ILOVEYOU" It felt wonderful to know the governor loves me! The other time I felt really lucky was when another malware worm was going around, I…

As a Marine who served in a reconnaissance unit, I see great value in the technology available to modern warriors but also a great weakness if they become too dependent on that technology. I would love to have had a drone in the field to look just over the next hill, but having the skill to recon the hill is a real asset…

"It’s important they invest in technical staff with practical HCI experience and the knowledge..." When I've applied for federal positions, it has taken a month or two before I hear if I get to an initial interview. Federal employees I know have said it can take longer than six months just to get a job offer, and if you…

The only thing I'm looking for is good airfare. Last year Emirates had a very good sale on business class seats and Air France briefly had an incredible price on first class seats from Los Angeles to Paris.

I agree with df112, Garry's openness was refreshing.

Pete asked an excellent question. There must be a point or region where there's a break-even, on one side the cost of HCI is worthwhile and on the other side the cost is greater than the benefit. Anyone have the experience to identify where this point is?

So the passowrd is one, two, three, four, five. That's the stupidest password I've ever heard in my life! That's the kinda thing an idiot would have on his luggage!

I actually love my job. It has a lot less downside than any other field I have worked in. However, I still remember something my first mentor told me: "President Reagan said to trust but verify, but when you're dealing with users just verify they really did anything they tell you they did." This was stated in response to…

Patching is always a good idea but DOD requirements seem to greatly delay the implementation of patches.

Most technologies I've seen adopted were added because they were The Next Big Thing, even though they turned into a waste of time and money. Therefore I really appreciated this article.
