That is easily fixed with a hdmi to VGA adapter that also scrubs the useless HDCP out. I have 2 myself and they work great to hook a hdmi bluray player to an analog only plasma display.
and only for really old conference rooms or ones designed by idiots. Every one I have seen installed over the past 4 years have been HDMI and ethernet. with a vga port available for legacy laptops that converts the VGA to digital for the switcher.
Honestly, if any company is installing VGA only conference rooms, they need to be run out of business.

And slow your stuff down to usb1.1 spec. Oh and zero power there. I have a USB flash stick that will not work off of a Keyboard USB port. Not enough power there.
extra usb ports on your keyboard are like stick on air vents for a car... There for show only.
Solaris? Linux and the BSDs are very good but Solaris and OpenSolaris still have a big performance lead using ZFS. The limited software support for OpenSolaris is really it's only down side when compared with Linux so I would have to say that even Solaris in some use cases is better then the FOSS alternatives.
Sorry but solaris is NOT better. I have used it for decades and when we replaced all the Sun boxes with commodity hardware and linux things got a LOT better for us.
I still have my beloved Sun Ultra 20 but a dell that cost us 1/2 the price has 3X the performance in it. and a linux install makes it a much better box than the SUN equipment, so I took the SUN home and get more done on the el-cheapo dell. I do miss the elegance of the Sparc processors, but we all knew those were dead a decade ago.
SUN has been irrelevant for over a decade. This Ex CEO is only showing everyone WHY he is an Ex CEO and why under his direction they plummeted into the dirt.
Sun failed only because they screwed around and let china-cheap PC's eat their lunch. Why buy a Sparc box and Solaris for 20X the price of a cheapie Dell 1U server and use linux or even Windows Server. They tried the intel based hardware platform and flopped because it was half arsed and over priced. Sun because useless as you could easily buy more computing power for cheaper elsewhere. Their OS became irrelevant, the company did as well.
Their foray into OSS was a last ditch effort to survive. it was NOT their undoing.
I have been doing "3d" ram stacking for decades... I did it first in 1983 on a TRS-80 Color computer. I had 2X the max supported ram the machine could handle. I simply used a toggle to switch ram banks, later I added logic to allow the computer to do that for me. Writing programs that consumed most of ram and stored data in the other bank were fun...

AMD's 6 Core stuff underperforms the same clock frequency i7 quad core by enough that real power users dont choose AMD right now.

You do know you can ask for things at the acceptance interview...
I said, Sure, I'll take the job. start me at 4 weeks vacation and the top of the pay scale... Great! see you on monday!

PC is a bigger investment? It's less than 20% more than the freaking phone if you buy the phone at the cheapest rate, It's 1/2 the price of the phone if you are dumb and subsidize it through the cellphone carrier. iPhone though AT&T is $299+$1500.00 over the next 2 years.

His space is more than enough for it's needs. In fact humans can live very comfortably in small spaces. I know people that are incredibly happy raising their 2 kids and 2 adults family in a 2 bedroom 640sq foot apartment. They are quite civilized and less primitive than most people that have McMansion homes.
More space = a waste of space. Only badly designed things have lots of open space in them. Until we get a unlimited self renewing power supply that can lift 900,000,000 metric tons for zero cost, ALL space travel will be just big enough for it's needs...

Mans guide to screwing with a hateful bitch like that....
1 - women are non technical, if you can, find the tail light bulb type they have and burn some out. then remove her tail light lens and replace the good brake bulbs with burned out ones, best to do a night before she goes troling at a bar again, call from a payphone to 911 reporting her car as driving drunk when you know when will be leaving her favorite bar.
2 - post her phone numbers all over. Take out Craigs list ad's looking for romance, prefer NASCAR type guys and how she likes dirty talk..
3 - submit her phone numbers and address to all kinds of kinky sex related mailing lists.
4 - if she is escalating it badly, let air out of her tires at a public place. all kinds of nusiance things that she can not connect to you. if it looks like bad karma, all the better.
5 - Faxing love notes from some guy to her work fax machine. Random faxes that make no sense but are obvious they are not business. I.E. Order confirmation from Johns giant dildo Shoppe in San Antonio TX.. Dear XXXX your order for the star-spangled rammer is backordered, but we will be shipping out your 3XL Chocolate INVADER today... WE also have the Ballgags in cherry flavor as you requested.

Everything you want to do I do at home on my "not real" internet connection.
You just have to take your Meds for your ADD and use ports that are not blocked, and use a dyndns service.
I do VPN back to home, I run a SFTP, I run a webserver on Port 81 and Port 82.
Pony up and pay for what you want. It's available.
Oh wait, you want business class OC3 at the price of tier 1 DSL.
Well I want a New BMW 725i at the price of a 1985 Honda Civic.
