And using that naming scheme, how on earth is anyone who hasn't memorised the specific function of each server going to know what it does? For example, if an new hire is told they need to restart the Exchange server for New York, who the hell are they going to know which server it resides on without consulting a lookup table? With a naming scheme like ny-exch-01 it's so simple a trained monkey could do it.

So, my opinion gets slammed as being a troll, but this one somehow gets a score of 2? Oh, what an upside down world /. is

Have you ever been in a high adrenaline situation that ended in you shooting and killing someone? Have you ever voluntarily ended someones life? Have you had someone film you whilst you do this? Unless the answer to all of the above is "yes", how about you keep your damning judgements to yourself. These police put their lives on the line for your protection every single day, and it's not our place to pass judgement on their behaviour. That's for disciplinary hearings. Also, phrases like "in a hail of bullets" stink of tabloid reporting and have no place on a serious news post. Dissapointing.
