FYI, Apple's netboot environment coupled with something like DeployStudio is far easier than trying to get PXE booting set up - it's pretty much plug and play with an OS X server.
While your application availability probably dictates what platforms you can use, don't write off Apple because their deployment strategy is different.
Apple has a robust remote installation suite with OS X Server, which is darn cheap compared to most other commercial offerings.
10.6 includes a first party version of NetRestore (full system image deployment, similar to Ghost or Flash Archive on Solaris), but most people deploying across a large number of systems should roll their own images with packaged based tools like DeployStudio or InstaDMG:
Arizona has two universities, the Tucson based University of Arizona (UofA), which has been around for much longer than the Tempe based Arizona State University (ASU). This article was written by people at latter, not the former, so the post attribution is incorrect.
Considering that you could get 40FPS at phone-class resolutions (640x480) in Quake 3 from a ~300Mhz PC with a Voodoo 2 around 10 years ago, it isn't all that impressive.
Then again, some phones are built better than others. I accidentally ran an old Samsung phone (Sprint network) through the washing machine, and other than needing a new battery and the OLED on the outside of the cover being all messed up it continued to work fine after I dried it out.
Many electronics can survive being immersed unless they're on when it happens. My old cell phone was particularly lucky.
Basically, you want a way to write your name on an idea/thing with indellible ink. Good luck on that. Computers don't even try to do this - I'm reminded of my OS class, where metadata (name, permissions, etc.) were separate from the actual file/folder.
Unless you embed your name in the material in some way it can't be removed (impossible if it's just an idea), you're out of luck. One way to do this would be from a branding/marketing perspective - think Coke, Kleenex, Xerox, etc. - if you can get the thing referred to as a "Zonk", then your name might stick.
ARD 3 has support for something called a "Task Server", which lets you spin off installation or other jobs to a separate machine, which runs them as systems come online.

Could you elaborate on this? Is this the new math, or by "break even" do you mean "compensate for all the other horrible money losing films the company made?"
Ah, so he wants people who right software to guarentee their work?
Things will then just never make it out of beta, for fear of the law. If the software breaks "Tough luck, it's still in beta, what were you doing using it for mission critical work anyway?"
This "eternal beta" is also used to avoid other sorts of legal wrangling . The most obvious example is Google News - it's "beta" still because google is worried about capitalizing on other people's news content. While unrelated to software quality, because it's an "unfinished beta", it doesn't get sued out of existance.
So, welcome to using software versons 0.9.9 forever... I can't wait.
Sadly, this is all too true... I've worked for a nonprofit that had it's budget cut because they had money in a rainy day fund (which, unlike interest, isn't recurring income).
So, because the board of directors was fiscally responsible, the city gouged them for it. What a bunch of shortsighted jerks.
I'm willing to bet he has a 1.5Mbit/sec bidirectional DSL line, rather than the "3Mbit/sec down, 512Kbit/sec up" line that Comcast is most likely selling you.
For that kind of bidirectional speed, you're looking at $100/month or so here...

I've found pandoc (here: http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/) to be very useful for generating PDF/ePub/LaTeX/etc from Markdown formatted text files.

Hmm... now there's a daemon you really don't want to see running...
This just lets you brute force the passkey, easy as if you're using a 4-digit numeric passkey there are only 10000 combinations.
If you're using a more complex alphanumeric key, which can be enabled with the iPhone config utility, then this probably won't work that well...
On a Sun note, their Sparc hardware can install Solaris over a WAN with HTTP. See here:

Well of course. The Mac ports have pretty much always been a second-class citizen to the Windows version.
Only recently. Excel originated on the Mac - 1.0 was Mac-only in 1985.

There are certain AP's and firmware that have a built-in RADIUS server for WPA/WPA2 Enterprise.

Phoenix is as you describe. Other parts of Arizona have a greater percentage of multi-generational residents.

Exactly what I thought - what about other sources of mangentic interference (say the motor of an electric vehicle, etc.)?

I thought so.

I bought a linksys WEP54G card the other day (for about $50) and it has a RT2500 chipset on it.
There are multiple versions of this card - the one I got is the newer one.
Should be easy to find almost anywhere.

Actually, there are a lot of jobs for geologists.

Most of them have to do with finding oil and natural gas. I have a friend who is doing his geology postgrad work, and already has a couple offers.
