This is a non-issue. People use google.com's website of their own volition. The search results come from Google's database, there is no hindering of businesses or anti-trust issue here at all since all of the information gleaned on the internet is already present. Google merely presents it how they deem necessary to match the search keywords.
Do ensure that it has nearby and adequate washroom facilities. Nothing worse than having to travel up a couple flights of stairs every time personnel has to take care of nature, know what I mean?
Adequate lighting, and ventilation / heating / air conditioning is also something to consider. Nothing worse then working in winter with cold fingers, let me tell you.
I've been NOC for just shy of 3 years now, and I can tell you the environment you work in plays a huge role in how comfortably you handle the workflow. Its nice to focus on the more technical bits such as equipment and infrastructure, monitors, etc, but do not forget that people have to comfortably be there for hours at a time. We do 12 hour shifts here, and the most important consideration would be the temperature and air quality, imho.
Yeah, its called BeFS, and it was originally created over a decade ago, long before iTunes came along.
Don't want to try an ancient filesystem? Mac OS X also makes use of Extended File Attributes, as do most modern filesystems. All it takes is a little bit of work with the help of some great command line or even gasp, GUI programs to do properly manage the media collection.
Hell, I was editing my own mp3 collection using BeOS 3.1 in 1999 because it was EASY back then to do so.
There's more tools out there than you can shake a stick at, and if just because you haven't thought of it, doesn't mean someone else hasn't already wrote it.
I currently work for an ISP and can tell you from experience that using a simple Wiki (such as mediaWiki) to document each segment of the network works very well.
You can further break it down by recurring issues, objectives and repairs/upgrades as you go along, making good use of the built-in version tracking feature as well.
Don't underestimate even simple ASCII representations and tables of IP / login information too, as long as you can lock down the wiki itself to a select few, you'll be ok.
I currently work for an ISP where our shifts are split into 4 12hour portions across 2 alternating weeks.
Week 1 is: 2 days on, 2 days off, 3 days on. Week 2 is: 2 days off, 2 days on, 3 days off.
Shifts go from 11am - 11pm (Day NOC), and 11pm - 11am (Night NOC).
So on average you do end up working 42 hours per week but you get every second weekend off, and you only work at most 3 days in a row, with at least 2 days off bracketing that.
It works fairly well for day noc's, but if you're not used to shift work, working nights can be killer.
Wondering if anyone has ever heard of this style of split-week schedule before?
We do have a pressing need for personnel who can type fast, have a good ear for "American" dialect, and is willing to spend several hours transposing into IRC.

This is the beginning of the mountain of content that will be soon be online, free of charge.
Google already knows the future of "television" is shared hosting (via bittorrents, etc) of user-submitted content, and I'm sure Robert Cringley knows this well too.
Nothing stopping these producers from advertising, and it might even be cheaper to maintain an online presence than to broadcast the show the regular way.
I'd like to candidly plug my own small contribution to internet video here:
I've been using computers for almost 20 years now, professionally for the past 12. I love open source, despise the many problems associated with Windows albeit I run win2k daily, and hope that one day my love of php will land me another job.
So now that I've introduced myself, will you help me find me work?:D
This is a semi-humorous posting by the way. For those nutjobs that will reply I'll just say that it is true, "who you know".
We've had a command line version of Google queries in BeOS/Haiku for some time now.
François Revol coded up what he called "Google File System" (this was back in dec/2004) and hooked it into BeOS queries that return NetPositive bookmarks.
As for hitting the tilde key, that is also possible with Spicy Keys, which allows one to map any key combination to cli scripts, binaries, etc.
Just some of the neat things one can do with Haiku/BeOS these days.

Funny how UI elements keep moving in the direction BeOS was in so long ago.

Cheers, see you there.
You mean like the Google Search Appliance?
Google has started their way into the Enterprise market with Google Enterprise.
In related news, the Interdictor group is still doing its thing, transcribing the FEMA feeds into text.

Hey, give them a break. They released the Google Video uploader utility for Windows, Linux, and Mac OSX.
I'm willing to bet there will be versions of Googe Earth for more OS's than windows, in the future.
It's nice enough that this application is WICKEDLY awesome for FREE. Enjoy it.
Great. Let me introduce myself then. :P

Junior Engineer: "Sir, it looks like the rover is headed for a small dune of sand."

Dude, chill. :P
It's called sarcasm, tongue-in-cheek, light-hearted humour.
I know it is a coincidence, but I also like it when that part of my brain spots those oddities and tells me, "Hey, that's funny."
Once you get out of university, you will -need- some humour to deal with work/life.
Please don't take my criticism as a personal attack. I just wanted to point out that life is too short to miss the humour.
Success. I hope your studies go well.

Microsoft plays catch-up all the time. Perhaps now they're showing their respects? :P
With statements like these,
... said that Microsoft has until now had "a clear corporate policy to not talk about Wine."
it is no wonder Linux is clearly gaining new users daily.
Microsoft needs to change, or perish.
