oh they can get drivers. But the large companies don't really pay well and don't treat their drivers well, so there is a lot of high turnover.

Plenty of perishables are shipped by rail. Refrigerated rail cars move every day. Tropicana sends one train a day, each day, between Florida and their NJ warehouse with frozen orange juice on CSX. UP runs daily refrigerated trains between the west coast and the east. Lots of perishables ship for CA to the East coast. It just that railroads suck and sending small amount of cargo. Only have one or a couple truck loads to send? Railroads won't bother with you. Have 50 cars of freight? Then they will talk to you.

Of course she wants to be a princess. She is a four your old girl. My daughter wanted to be a princess at 4, too. Today she is 12. In a STEM focused school and just did her seconded FLL Lego Robotics competition. She is active in her school's TSA (Technology Student Association) and competes in various science contests. She is two years ahead in math and wants to pursue a STEM career. Her favorite color is pink; she likes to wear dresses and did all the girl related toys. It is ok for a girl to like princesses and pink and all the frivolous stuff. Dolls don't turn you against science and math. But we also pushed science related stuff on her early. We bought lots of those science kits for kids and did them with her. Dumped a ton of lego’s on her. I spent many evening building lego’s and doing science kits and physics kits and volcano kits and walking fields, looking at rocks, ect. What you need to do is spend time with your daughter at an early age doing science kits, and looking at the environment and poking at rocks and asking questions of her to get her to think. As a dad, best think you can do is spend time with your daughter and guide her to thinking about her surroundings and what not. But don’t take away the girly toys; Let her be a girl because it’s ok to be a girl and be into science and technology. Don’t think you need to turn your girl into a boy to get her into science.

We have our core routers sync with public NTP servers (NIST and Naval Observatory). Everything else (servers, phones, ect) goes to two sets of Core routers for time. Dont' see the need for a separate box for NTP.

That is very correct. We will not be compliant with our own hosted sites because of our TIC provider can not support ipv6 yet. The sites that are hosted on Akamai are ipv6 compliant and have been for some time. I think there are about three, maybe four comments here from people who know what the actual civilian Fed requirements are capabilities are, and are familiar with TIC. All the other comments are from people who have no idea.

My suggesting is to never, ever directly deal with an opposing lawyer. You will loose, every time. Lawyers are expert wordsmiths and that is how they fight. You are not and you will loose. Never even send a letter. Not just for this, but for anything. Always have your own lawyer do it for you. You fight a lawyer with a lawyer. Even just the initial response is worth the 150 to 200 it will cost. The initial letter will probably something like a denial and demand for proof. They will probably drop it unless they already have something to go on.

Yah... those ACL's are on there because Security insisted. Yet to see security think performance matters.

Their network was not designed with redundency to support the vm servers. Or they cheaped out and did pay for network redundency.
