I have not jumped through the registration hoops to RTFA, but are you sure it said "Free access to research data" in it? There is a very large difference between free articles and free data. You are also ignoring the various privacy rules that accompany such data (e.g., HIPAA, IRB, etc).
Worth noting is that NIH has serious clout wrt gov policy. There is an almost viral quality present. When they shifted their IRB rules, every other agency pretty much followed suit due to the Common Rule.
As an owner of a bluetooth phone (with hosed AT commands no less), the biggest value to me has been syncing with my laptop's calendar and address book via Apple's iSync. Being able to sync as often as I want to without grabbing cables, etc is a big deal. I frequently leave my phone in my pocket while syncing. It becomes second nature and I find myself less reliant on my PDA when not in my office.
I just wish I could use Salling Clicker. That would be cool.

Space-Age Houses

I'd certainly live in this SpaceHouse... my Florida home is concrete top to bottom, and only rated to withstand a Category 3-4 hurricane.
I'm now on my 3rd PB 15" (still have 2nd) and I've always been amazed at the batteries. I even was able to get a higher capacity battery from Apple since they jacked up their battery to support a CPU speed bump. I've routinely been able to watch full length movies on DVD when flying cross country and squeeze in a bunch of work with maximum power saving practices (dim screen, etc). Another nice touch is the ability to check the battery strength while the computer is hibernating or off (button and LEDs on battery).
Recently I've also become a big fan of the Kensignton Universal Car/Air Adapter. You can also get a version that works for AC wall power too so you can leave the stock brick at home. The Car/Air one is super light and works with both Empower and cigarette lighter style jacks. I cannot tell you how valuable unlimited DVDs and games are when you need to pacify a kid who can no longer be amused by more preferable diversions. And of course it's always fun when 4 hours into your flight all the other laptop users are looking longingly at your super bright screen while theirs are pitch black.
Umm... links appears to be younger, less developed version of the old standby lynx.
In terms of sites, I recommend a local css file to block things like banners, large images, and other bandwidth intesive content. You may even try a css file that strips out everything but text, links, and layout info (e.g., no images, no animations, etc).
Ironically, in a follow-up press release from Real, the first available song will be "I Fought the Law" but someone forgot to tell Mr. Glaser the second line of the song: "... and the law won."
...how about a simple system that spreads out the load? A page that, based on some criteria (domain name, IP, random seed, round robin) gives each client a time it should check for updates (i.e. 17 past the hour).
That may require a change in standards/clients. At a simpler, more near term level, developers could just agree to have their client programs call a randomization function for the initial poll start time for the initial preference setting. All it would take would be the major 3-4 developers to agree to do this and you'd spread traffic out a lot. Most users would not change this number. Of course/. would still be screwed since most of us would.
Along these lines:
1) Have they yanked the cell phones of the sales department?
2) What about heavy travelers?
3) etc..
Basically, what is happening to similar "remote" support in other departments? This may be the result of a broad policy inadvertently catching mission critical infrastructure.
On the flip side, you could have a department cell phone and high speed cell data card (I know, not exactly broadband) which is passed around to the IT person on-call. A lot of doctors offices have on-call cell phones. This way the remote service is the department's rather than an employee perk.
Come on people. This isn't fancy technology or a proprietary format. Do your homework and implement it already. Closed captioning has been vaporware for too long on EyeTV.
Worth noting is that CaveUT is freeware and open source. Speaking from personal experience as a user during a demo, it does an excellent job with low cost hardware. The cited link has a parts/price breakdown and well written instructions. The code is not abandoned and is frequently used for human subjects experiments.
Actually, it sounds more like what happens when you get too close to the the Cube when walking around the University of Michigan. It makes one wonder if the developers went to UM.
As an aside, try to remember to stay away from the Cube when drinking in Ann Arbor. It seems your ability to estimate the danger of a large spinning mass of metal goes down when you're inebriated.
I would also suggest not using a fancy case to carry around your laptop - those leather targus bags just scream "look at me! expensive stuff here!"
Take it a step further like I do. I'm using an plain vanilla cordura briefcase (circa pre-laptop era) with a laptop sleeve inside. From the outside there is no clue that there is a laptop in it. No 270 degree zipper, no obvious external padding, etc. While it's age shows, it's still professional enough to bring into important meetings.
Oh yeah, it's probably not a good idea to use the briefcase with the snazzy corporate logo on it either. That just screams "Insured and likely to be just written off!"
It might not help, but who knows what was run - you might see some clues there. Look in both Library/Logs/ and ~/Library/Logs/. Make sure you check the one for the user in question in the former since some user specific info is store there.

Actually, go read David Brin's excellent essay "Star Wars despots vs. Star Trek populists". Really quite an interesting take on the two. Also available are follow-up comments.
MCSEs? You might have a problem. I think witches either float or melt in water. Either way, there is no way they'll be able to get to the server.
Probably a good thing.

Not much difference. This concept is rated at winds of 220 km/h, or 137 mph, means this should survive the upper limit of Cat 3, and possibly Cat 4 if you are lucky.

Shouldn't this be: from the Many Bothans died for this information dept.?
Correction:
I dunno, that peak in the center could just be the carefully hidden tip of a "giant" laser.
Ironically, in a follow-up press release from Real, the first available song will be "I Fought the Law" but someone forgot to tell Mr. Glaser the second line of the song: "... and the law won."
How does this have anything to do with Apple ?. I thought this was Slashdot news from Apple.
C'mon, it's obvious: clear plastic and white paint.

This is also an AvantGo channel.
Back when I was racing and a mechanic we used to say this to people who bought expensive bikes but didn't train hard.

As an aside, I've met Jeff. He's cool.
Check out the Toy Robots Initiative at Carnegie Mellon's Robotics Institute. In particular, the CMUcam and Palm Pilot Robot Kit are worth checking out.
This makes upgrading to the new standard effortless
Every time I'm told this I cringe and wait for the obligatory "As long as you are not using [specification set including all current products]..."

Going from start-up company to your 3rd test flight in that amount of time is.. well.. impressive.
Not really. They've got a really good balloon tying clown on staff.
