Seriously, 20 years later and you are STILL fixed width with no direct copy/past? WTF?
Are you kidding? I've been doing copy/paste from the Windows command line (cmd.exe) since Windows NT 4.0. (Not to mention setting the width and the scroll back buffer size among many other options.) And all of that is available in PowerShell as well.
If you right-click anywhere in the title bar, you'll get a context menu, and at the bottom of that menu is properties. In there you'll find, on the options tab, a box labeled Edit Options that contains two check boxes: Insert Mode and QuickEdit Mode. These two check boxes are essential for doing copy/paste operations in cmd and PowerShell. Now if you go over to the Layout tab, you'll find you can tweak the height, width, and under "Screen Buffer Size", the "Height" setting there actually the scroll back buffer length. All very handy stuff.:)
Now once you have everything setup correctly, pasting into the terminal is done by right-clicking in the window and choosing paste. Now copying from the terminal is a little different. Generally, you just highlight what you want to copy with the mouse, then just right-click on top of the selected text. Your highlighting will disappear, but the text was put on your clipboard. If you paste into Notepad (or other app) you should get whatever you copied from the terminal.
The Gov't and a lot of corporations run their networks like a home network. Flash, sure you can have that because you might want on YouTube and that is a good use of tax payer funds. Acrobat, yah here you go, never mind there are pdf viewers out there that are more secure. Whitelists and blacklists, nah, our users can sit around and watch porn all day, that is an even better use of taxpayer funds. Word docs and spreadsheets, yah you can send and receive those without worrying. We only scan your email for anything you say reguarding our CEO of the company or President of the US, but send and receive those viruses all day long as we have not figured out good perimeter security. Speaking of perimeter security, just email everything you want back and forth that is secure right, or download it to your laptop if you work for the VA.
Well, I don't know which Gov't agencies you've dealt with, but this is not how it works at military installations. You can have Acrobat and Flash, but you don't get anywhere on the Internet that can do real damage save for Facebook and YouTube. You most certainly won't get to any porn sites. The web is heavily filtered at the AF base I work at.
I heard such stories about hospitals over and over again.
Essentially what it boils down to is that hospital IT departments have almost no chance of establishing good environments, because every doctor that has 5 seconds of free time feels like they have both the authority and obligation to directly interfere with how IT does things.
Situations can vary from either the I've-been-working-for-50-years-without-a-computer-and-I'm-not-gonna-learn-how-to-use-one-now to what we have here where someone know how to make things better by themselves and simply bypasses the whole system with an application that is not supported or endorsed by the IT. And for sure does not integrate with other data-flow activities that are going on in the hospital.
In the end IT guys run for cover anytime when some local "god" decides that their way is best and things will run how they seem fit, because they just bought a new iPhone and want to have EVERYTHING interact with it. Screw the company-issued smartphones!
You just described exactly what I experienced in my short time working for IT in a hospital. I'm glad to be out of there, and I don't intend to ever take another position in IT in medical again (if I can help it).
Battery and related cables are usually close to the top of the engine compartment.. they will need long arms! (not saying it's impossible though..) And you are right, if they disturb the cables by disconnecting them and putting this inline you're bound to noticed something wrong. Even just losing your programmed station memory on your radio (say on an older one without theft protection.)
Yesterday I watched a woman in front of me run over the curb trying to make a right-turn out of a Wendy's while she was talking on the phone. Couldn't even handle a right-turn...... (and drove a BMW SUV by the way so apparently also more money than brains too).
With SCCM 2007 and PXE boot you can re-image 100+ desktops in relative easy once you've developed your image and tested the push works correct. I helped migrate a hospital with 1,500 desktops. We did one department per day. We put a day's time between departments so we could mop up any issues before the next migration.
This was migrating all of those PCs from Windows 2000 in a Novell environment to Windows XP in an AD environment.
I use the DynDNS update client to avoid such messages. It updates everything for me. I use the Mac client and they even have a dashboard widget to go with it.:)

I run into the same problems all the time where people I support are confused by multiple mouse buttons. It gets worse though when the person on the other end of the phone is left handed and therefore using a left handed mouse with the mouse buttons reversed...
Everyone in my clan has changed their minds on this purchase. We can't run our own dedicated servers now. We run 2 CoD4 servers (one FFA & other one TDM). Long before I joined the clan I played on these two because of the good ping I got, and because I like the regulars on there + the admins were cool. It's this sort of community that is being shattered by this move. I'll stick with MW and WaW for now.
That's odd, 'cause I just I'm using FF 3.5.3 and I just loaded GM's site just fine (although with all that flash too forever to load.:( ugh! I hate flash.)
Safari on Snow Leopard is damn quick... I'm thinking about dumping Firefox in favor of it (and if you knew me well, you'd be shocked, as I use FF _everywhere_ and am pretty much attached to it).
Once developers start using GCD for their applications, you'll start noticing significant improvements in performance.
Shoot, I already noticed the difference on my 2.5 yr old Mac Pro (1.1). First boot on 10.6 and I was like "wow, feels like a new machine again". All of the bundled apps have been recompiled (64 bit) and cleaned up (and apparently take advantage of GCD everywhere possible). I really didn't think I would see that much of a difference with 10.6 and really only upgraded because I could for $29 (I mean at that price, why not right?) I am very happy with my $29 purchase thus far. I've only had to work through a couple app incompatibilities (and as I have been able to work around them just fine, I am happy.) This is of course just my experience thus far with 10.6. I have no hard benchmark numbers for you. But I noticed right away the smoothness it brought to my older Mac Pro. And it was an easier upgrade than going from 10.4 --> 10.5.

Exactly what I was thinking... I don't have mod points unfortunately.

Well I know of one example... the Synchronet BBS software package uses gopher for it's "web interface".
These are being mass produced in Japan for health care and other markets:

I should add that she had to back up to get off the curb... that's how much curb she ran up. *shakes head*
Yesterday I watched a woman in front of me run over the curb trying to make a right-turn out of a Wendy's while she was talking on the phone. Couldn't even handle a right-turn...... (and drove a BMW SUV by the way so apparently also more money than brains too).
I use a Logitech G8 - its not a center ball but is definitely ergonomic (with adjustable weight :)

Fuck everything, we're doing seven panels.

So just do 3x1 monitors and you won't have a bezel going through the center of your view.... You can just by 3 big monitors instead.
Of course, MS does that on purpose with OWA... :(

I so wish I had modpoints for you, but I don't. Instead I'll just say thanks and I agree.

Safari is blazing fast on Snow Leopard. Makes me want to switch off of Firefox - almost. I'm rather attached to some of my FF plug-ins. We'll see....

Tasteless yet hilarious. Two thumbs up! :D
