You should not (legally) have (the right) to lock down their laptop.
I think the main problem is how you view the design of the network they will connect these laptops to.
I think you must consider these laptops connecting to the physical school network as equivalent, security-wise, as if they came from the outside (the internet). You are simply providing wired local access. The school systems and services should exist on a seperate secured network.
And just like in an airport or an internet cafe, you probably can filter some of the traffic to-from the 'public' physical school network.
Is monitoring the traffic to-from a privately owned laptop legal in the U.S.?
Asterisk supports both normal analog phones or PBX digital phones "behind" the PBX, as well as VOIP softphones.
I use Asterisk at home with a Digium card, and use regular analog phones with the regular house wiring. I also use softphones on each PC within my home network.
Asterisk does support faxes. In my case, when a fax comes in, it is immediately recognized and routed to the fax machine, WITHOUT ringing any home phones, even if it comes in on my regular home phone line. I plan to change this so that faxes are routed to Hylafax in the future.
Spreading the human species by colonizing distant planets should lower the risk the the 'species' will continue to flourish for a long time.
However, considering how this species thinks and works, by being more spead out it will increase the risk that the home base of this species, earth, may be destroyed.
At some point in time, someone with enough influence and ressources, living on a distant planet, will decide that it is in his collective's interest to harm the collective on earth.
Remember, right now one of the primary deterrents to using nuclear devices is the fact that their use affects all of us, one way or another.
With the species spread out, this will no longer be the case.
Regardless of what this distribution brings from a computing perpective, this method of presentation for releases, by itself, could be the one 'killer-app' and major benefit being introduced to the world by this effort!
Actually, my first thought, when I read the title, was that Redhat was retreating because of some behind the scenes deal, in relation with all that is going on with SCO, with Microsoft asking to leave the desktop alone.
I have been in consulting for around 15 years, and I believe that in most instances the answer is a resounding 'NO'.
I think the only way for a better document to be created by a group is to have an exceptional moderator/coordinator at the helm, who values the solution that is in the middle of the table, rather from one of the involved parties, including himself.
Seems like a real life representation of a slashdotting.
Does the first one there yell 'FP!' ?
Why are workflow notifications always ignored

PIMs always refer to functionality to manage things such as email, calendar and contacts and sometimes tasks.
It seems to me that as organisations become more and more connected into multi-segmented operational processes, you would think that handling Workflow notifications and responses would be the next killer-app.
Are there any PIMs which try to integrate notifications gracefully with the other functional elements?

Exactly.
The student OWN their laptop. Period.

Many comments see this as a positive sign of _preparedness_. Others talk about the coolness of this as a wargame _technology_.
For myself, all I could think when I say this article was: geez, can't the US focus on anything but war these days.
I am sure the association between WARmongerer and US, in the minds of people of all other countries, is increasing rapidly these days.
Yes, they found the long forgotten patent #1:
A method for controlling electronic circuit boards through the use of memorized sequences of coded instructions that act upon dynamically stored data.
I like it!
What will they call it with this form factor?
Strips?
Slices?
Chips?
You are absolutely right!
