Or you could randomly generate a paper and submit it to WMSCI.

That's the idea. Check out this list of problem definitions: http://www.rhok.org/problem-definitions/full-list/ - these aren't pie-in-the-sky ideas that we came up with, these are real needs as described by real crisis responders.

Ideas are cheap, it's execution that matters: http://www.paulgraham.com/ideas.html

I can assure that these organizations are rife with ideas, bringing the ideas "to market" is the problem.

JBOD: All of the downsides of RAID-0 with none of the speed benefits.

Whoops, that second server should be client.

The best speed tests on a "Gig-E" link with an MTU of 1500 at best will deliver around 650Mbps to 750Mbps of throughput.

No jumbo frames, going through a couple of cheap airlink gig switches.
Server is nVidia onboard gigabit, server is Intel onboard gigabit on a cheap consumer board.

Here's a good chart showing actual throughput for a bunch of different routers

Do you think he would be connecting to a public cell network if he's not even allowed to have a camera?

In case you're being serious, I assumed OP was using this definition (does anybody here NOT know the dilbert reference?)

Elbonia is the collective name for all places outside of the United States of America and can be considered to be a nation of its own.

Nice troll, but all of the Core i7 CPUs from Intel come from fabs in the US or Costa Rica.
And in Costa Rica, they pay almost double the local average wage.

So you redirect a BT client to a "rickroll" whenever it tries to get a list of peers, and this page is never seen by the end user.
You did a great job!
Oh wait...

We reasoned that if you had a lot of mappings, and that a large proportion of those mappings were to a lot of distinct remote hosts, and largely not idle, that you are probably a Torrenter.(...) These scripts output a list of bad MACs, that we then just dropped into a block list in the core switches.

Yeah, that might have been a little more helpful than redirecting a client (which will just use DHT instead to find peers)

AFAIK it's optional

You mean like this?
