Get management to pony up for real AV gear. The problem is your gear is garbage and not designed for the use. There is no magical CHEAP thing you can buy.

Now get a biamp or BSS DSP and 4 boundary mics hanging from the ceiling on some 18" diameter glass plates... I can make a meeting room cover all voices in there perfectly for video and teleconference.

"there might have been some real witches there."

Which witch?

Yep. Dox comes from documents (docs), as in documenting a person trying to hide behind a pseudonym. Any further connotation comes from context.

All the scum responsible for the illegal spying go on trial at the same time.

I'd settle for just stopping the illegal spying. Heck, I'd consider it a step forward if they just stopped the parts they agreed were wrong and said they were going to stop.

How cute, you believe that. You do realize what they teach you in high school is a complete fantasy.
Also how about that whole 6th amendment being suspended because "we are at war" bullshit.

Or did you forget that nice tidbit that the scumbags in congress passed?

"Shure 58 Beta"

So, high fidelity echo?

Is your room a natatorium, or a broom closet? How many people? Around a table, or classroom seating? Have you tried a proper conference room phone (not a regular speakerphone)? Is your phone system analog, digital, or IP (for the latter two, the solution may depend on the system in use)?

Link aggregation works at layer 2 (e.g. Ethernet). Basically, make multiple cables between 2 devices look like a single one.

Multipath routing works at layer 3 (e.g. IP), you can send outbound packets to multiple routers for further forwarding. It works when there are "real" routes between the hosts (i.e. not behind NAT).

This is one step beyond that, since it also does connection tracking and will work with outbound port NAT, so you can have a private network connected to multiple ISPs.

he will NOT get a fair trial, that was removed from american law with the PATRIOT act.

All the scumbags that supported the passing of the PATRIOT ACT should be deported from the United states and labelled as traitors.

Absolutely, He is a fool if he even thinks about it because the DOJ can promise the world and not abide by it. In fact I guarantee they will make his life a living hell and an example to all those bad bad americans that would dare let out secrets that help terrorists.

Only a fool would come back here after blowing the whistle like that.

Depends on your risk scenario planning. But yes, it does. A full rundown of our data integrity program would exceed the tl;dr scope on Slashdot, as well as violating NDAs :).

In general though I'd point out that disk based vaulting technologies have advanced considerably in the last few years and if I were providing advice to someone I'd point out that there are cloud based solutions which are write-only type solutions if your risk tolerance permits the use of third parties to store your data (e.g. CrashPlan). Avamar may also be an option depending on costs and resources.

That's where the professional part of IT professional comes in. You weigh your risks and have an honest discussion with your partners on the business side without fear mongering and you all decide on what your risk tolerance is, and have those discussions regularly (hint: Google's risk tolerance was different when they were in a garage then as a publicly traded company :)).

It would be my pleasure to see the whole lot of them have the actual text of the law applied to them as though they were a tattooed black guy with multiple priors.

We often have suitable laws; but they just mysteriously never even get brought up, much less by people in a position to do something about them.

There are two problems. The first is that the OS allows you to run porn.jpg.exe having downloaded it from some random place on the 'net. I don't think that either OS X or Windows do: they'll both pop up a thing saying 'You are trying to run a program downloaded from the Internet, do you really want to?', which isn't normally something that happens when people try to open a file so ought to trigger them to avoid it (if it doesn't, then seeing the .exe extension probably won't either).

The second is that the OS allows programs and other file types to set icons at all before their first run. This also leads to confused deputy-like attacks where you think you're opening a file with one program but are actually opening it with something that will interpret it as code. The solution to this is probably to have programs keep their generic program icon until after their first run. If you double click on something that has a generic program icon, then you probably intend to run it...

"Many people have multiple email addresses."

Why would mixing them be an issue here? Information, much of it extremely sensitive, related to her government service as SoS shouldn't ever be kept on a private computer, and using a government computer for personal use is improper:

Executive branch employees have a duty to protect and conserve Government property and may not use Government property, or allow its use, for any purpose other than the one that is authorized.

...The term "Government property" includes real or personal property that the Government owns or leases such as:
telecommunications equipment
computers...
