Well, I just bought a RAID of 24 SSDs with 5 TB usable. All for only $50k.

Being /. I am surprised you haven't had this yet:

That was dumb. You could have bought some cheap drives at NewEgg, run them in a GNU/Linux RAID with lots of RAM for caching, set it up as an iSCSI target with optional NFS for cool GNU/Linux users (and CIFS for Windoze lusers!!1`1). A few good gig E ports to bind together and you would have saved $48K. I could admin it for you if you open up telnet for me. Mail l337h4x0r@aol.com if interested.

I don't know what every single person was doing, but some (myself included) did have budget spreadsheets open that we were sent. At least on my own iPad those were being actively edited.

I've often sat in meeting with mine and used SSH or VNC to devices I manage.

Only a few weeks ago I was in a meeting. There were 2 laptops and 6 iPads in the room. I think that was the first time I saw 3x more tablets in a meeting of that size (or at least that I remember noticing)

Actually the IKEA here (Winnipeg) is very relaxed. They don't get in the way and will help when asked.

People outside of Canada have probably never heard of The Brick until now. It's one of the stores I refuse to go in to. The salespeople jump on you the moment you step in the door and don't stop.

These appliances are already available. Specifically PAPARouter does this. It costs more but it also does have exit nodes in US and US intelligence friendly countries. (UK, New Zealand, Australia and Commonwealth countries).
