This co-ordinate encoding scheme sounds similar to one used by US (and other) military forces for air targeting.
See this description of GEOREF co-ordinates for example. Basically you divvy the world up in to a grid and use letters to reference the major fractions of the co-ordinates and numbers the minor fractions. So 106 25' 44" W 310 48' 06" N becomes EJPB 3448.
Have a read of the CSS standard. There's support for alternative media types. You can create multiple stylesheets for different types of devices, so that each device gets the stylesheet that's appropriate for it.
There's also the CSS-Mobile standard which is aimed at small wireless internet devices.
No, bad gmanske. No mentioning company secrets. Don't make me come down there.
Anyways, just poking around here at work (and yes I haven't read the article so I don't know if it already says this, mark me redundant as appropriate) I've discovered that Connexion is likely to be using DHCP for the IP address assignment and that it will actually be using Linux servers. So anything that's standards compliant (i.e. can talk DHCP and TCP) should work.
(Note for everyone else. I used to live on the same residence as TheAJofOz and was one of the first batch of informal maintainers of our part of the network. You know, the usual stuff, web server, WINS and DMB (we had lots of broadcast seperated subnets so we needed a WINS and DMBs to get even basic file sharing between residences), and writing up a FAQ for the newbies. All unsupported by the administration though.)
My advice is to write up a document outlining what you think the network needs, how this will benefit students and then try and give some rough estimates on costs. If you can show that it won't cost much and back that up with a reasonable justification they'll probably be more inclined to listen. I'm fairly certain some work was done on this at some point but I forget who was involved. Ask Iain perhaps.
If that doesn't work, you could always try involving the SRC. Use politics to fight politics:) The SRC should be a little more sympathetic to the residents cause this year since some of their members are residents.
Hope that helps, and if you need any more ideas on what to put in the report, feel free to email me.

The Windows port of Bolo is called WinBolo and can be downloaded from the author's website.
There is also a Linux dedicated server available from the same page. A Linux client port is being worked on by the same guy (using GTK and SDL) and should be available sometime in the next few months.

Get a Sansa E200 and stick Rockbox on it. You'll get Ogg Vorbis support and a whole lot more.
No support for markup of mathematics in HTML? So what's this then http://www.w3.org/Math/? It even works in Mozilla http://www.mozilla.org/projects/mathml/.

I believe the full chant is something like:
Aussie, aussie, aussie!
Oi, Oi, Oi!
Aussie... Oi!
Aussie... Oi!
Aussie, aussie, aussie!
Oi, Oi, Oi!
Ahh... they should replace the lame arse Australian national anthem with that charming chant. Certainly get a lot more people singing it at the footy.
To bring this back on topic... nah stuff it... its not like I actually *use* my karma...

Geez... are they still jerking you guys around?
