1. Climate (too hot or too cold and it distracts people)
I think that's a very good point that noone else has brought up. Give the users the ability to adjust the temperature. Not necessarily private A/C units, but let them have vents that you can close and have enough power that they could bring in personal heaters.
I've worked at datacenters with policies like this. Bullet proof glass, mantraps, etc.
In almost every case the shipping and receiving crew had propped open the back door so they could get stuff in and out without having to go thru security.
Executive presidents from Anheuser-Busch, Miller Brewing Company, and Guiness had just finished a long meeting and decided to go down to the pub to relax.
The CEO of Anheuser-Busch sat down and said to the bartender "I'll have a tall King of Beers!" and the bartender poured him a Budweiser.
The CEO of Miller said "It's Miller time!" and the bartender handed him a frosty Miller High Life.
The CEO of Guiness sat down and said I'll take a water, please.
The other two looked at him quisically, and the CEO of Guiness responded to their looks: "If you boys ain't drinking, neither am I!"
Like a pack of ravid gorillas with ants stuck up their anuses, the editors of slashdot behave in a quite odd manner when it comes to censorship and poor journalism. Readers should rise up in sacred jihad against these practices; the moment draws near.

You should check your grammar when discussing the manners of editors.:-)
I might support wireless if there was a hard switch on the unit that physically disconnected the wireless hardware, making it impossible to be turned on via software.
I've been on Atkins for over 2 years now. I lost sixty pounds in the first six months, and have enjoyed it so much that I haven't stopped! I eat all I want, and don't get that bloated post-Thanksgiving feeling. I don't get bad days where you feel exhausted. My $BODYFUNCTION is 100% better, and I don't have problems unless I skip out on the diet for Christmas, Birthday, or Vacation.
That said, the diet is not for everybody. I've suggested it to people that have tried and failed. One poor guy had violent diarrea while he was on it... Most people simply have a hard time grasping the concept of no sugar/potatoes/flour. My mother-in-law still offers me a noodle sandwich with fries and a shake.
It's also very expensive. Consider replacing your bread with ground beef, and your noodles with chicken. Enough said.
Eating out isn't very bad, if you have the self control. Most decent restaurants (in the US) have a chicken salad, that is great if you drop the croutons.
So count me as a vote for Low Carb. Especially as a six-month-must-lose-XX-pounds-at-any-cost.

It's a nifty suite with an Arp Redirector and fragrouter, letting you forward the packets to the original recipient. It also defaults to searching for telnet/ftp/aim and other insecure passwords, so there's not a whole lot of configuring to get right to the good stuff.
While you're at it, check out the "How do I sniff / hijack SSH connections?" section, as well. If that doesn't make you use Kerberos or check your public keys, nuttin will.
Certifications were great last year, but are quickly falling short. Being a typical Alphabet Soup-er doesn't get you what it used to. As a MCSE, MCP+I, Net+, CCNA, CISSP I still had to trudge around for three months before I got a measly two offers. And don't even think about a raise!
I think our friend kyrex is right; pursuing a bachelor's degree certainly adds the kind of substance to a resume that managers and customers look for. Especially as a consultant or (down the road) manager. I find it difficult to believe that he can consistantly get $200k+ without a degree.
Knowledge is great; results are great; but to get the job that pays you need that one piece of paper.
To Kyrex: check out Strayer University. They have a very generous "Life Experience" program in which you write a two page paper about how you've used the technology in your career and the paper is evaluated by the staff. It sounds like you could easily get half of your credits or more through this method.

If you allow the horn to sound for 4 minutes then you will get a Violation that must be reported to the court.
Tell me how this thing reports back to the court without violating my rights...
Thanks for pointing that out, Bill.

Good point. That said...
Does COPA come into play? I seem to remember that the Childrens Online Protection Act has something to do with gathering the info of a minor...
I can't find anything on that now, but if it were the case, it would make a great counter suit.

Yeah, that's called the power switch.
It's not the Yoga thats helping, it's the attention. People love to feel needed!
If so, what is that distinction? Where do you draw the line?
And this is exactly why it may never be mass produced. Can you imagine a car company volunteering to reduce its base of repeat customers?
Agreed.
