comment Entropy on virtual machines
There are also some signatures that require random data, such as DSA. The simplistic answer that it is only for generating keys is wrong.

comment Are IP addresses “trivial to forge”?
Gaining access is not the primary goal for many attacks using spoofed addresses. I suspect the various amplification attacks using DNS is more frequent. DNS is lovely (with DNSSEC worse) -- you can send a small, < 100 byte packet with a spoofed source address will cause the spoofed address to receive a 7x to 40x amplification as a reply.

comment BIND/RNDC - Why do my subzones work and my actual zone doesn't?
Did this actually work? @ should be automatically defined to be the zone being loaded, so the $ORIGIN line should have no effect as it simply sets it again.

comment Need ideas for a cost effective, green (and small) Sql Server hardware build
SSDs work fine for databases. Any database that assumes a physical drive with rotational delay would be wrong about any in-memory caching done by the OS, RAID controller, or even on the drives. Or with RAID, any number of drives would throw it off. Sorry, I don't buy that databases expect this sort of thing anymore. Gone are the IBM days...
