In no way is it ridiculous to expect an IT manager to have a basic understanding of how technology works. I mean, how are they supposed to make good decisions otherwise?
I might suggest seeing if he/she would be interested in going to some training courses. You could even go along with, or better yet, get your whole team to go if possible, it could even be fun. I think that's probably the best way to go about improving the situation.
Unless it has a very large batter pack, it's going to need to be wired because powering all those OLEDs is going to require a fairly large amount of power. Even with a large battery pack, I'd be surprised if it lasted 8 hours with heavy use.
I don't think that that is a very feasible option for China. It seems to me that too many businesses rely on being able to communicate with the outside world. While China is on the rise as an economic power, cutting off all international routing would likely stop them dead in their tracks.
The university has the right to control what sort of devices are on their network. I'm sure the students would be allowed to set up their own Wireless LAN that was not connected to the university network if they so chose.
The problem is that in the EULA of the program it usually says something about you permiting the company to run the spyware. We don't need laws about this, just more competent computer users.
They better not release it under that title because it sounds a lot more like infringement to me than "Lindows" does. Well, maybe that's a bit extreme, but it's something to think about nonetheless.
We're a bunch of geeks for crying out loud. We should be rejoicing at the thought of space exploration. A rejuvination of the space program could push forward technology faster than anything else we can think of. The race for the moon back in the 60's resulted in countless benefits to our society. Education, technology, synthetics, manufacturing, and many more all benefited from the Apollo program. This is another chance to reap those same benefits again.
Let's look at this problem from a different angle. First off, I am going to assume that this laptop is not always going to be exposed to this kind of heat. That being said, here's what I would do. Whenever the temperature reaches above 35 degrees, you could strap a heatsink to the laptop. Another idea would be to build some sort of mini-air cooler. This could be accomplished by filling a container with ice and water, and connecting a hose from the air intake on your laptop to this container, so that it can pump out the cool air that is inside the container. Both of these ideas would of course hurt the portability, but I don't think by very much.
I understand that tech jargon confuses people, but is there really anything that we can do about it? People in the field need names for things that are easy to use and distinguish. For instance, we could call a motherboard "Big peice of silicon with that everything attaches to" but "motherboard" is much easier to spit out. Besides, if a person really cared to get "in the know" then all it takes is about 5 minutes on google or webopedia.
Perhaps 80 lines is not a lot of code, but I bet that program wouldn't work without them. Those could have been the most difficult 80 lines to figures out. If that is the case, and SCO turns out to be right now this one, 80 lines could be a very large problem for IBM and Linux.
Since The Sims is an attempt to emulate society, it is surprising that this didn't happen earlier. Social entropy would dictate that something like this would have to happen in every society. What I want to know is: do people really have the ability to tear down people's houses? I cannot think of a reason that the makers of The Sims would allow this to be possible unless they were going for a true-to-life simulation. It would seem odd that they would do this because it would only be an easy way for people to abuse other people.

Perhaps he had planned on creating a pirate simulator so that he could behave as a pirate and sail the seven sees in a digital world.

Needs more acronyms.

How many times does this organization have to shoot itself in the foot before it dies?
Or is this a rather unfortunate acronym?

Yeah I realize that, that's why I said it was probably a bit extreme.

that with geniouses like this working for them, Microsoft has the most secure OS in the world.

Ground being an adjective modifying "tests". As in "NASA tested it on the ground".
How dare you speak ill of madlibs!
I believe the conversation went:
"It's my new invention: The smelloscope. What to try?"
"Sure, as long as you don't make me smell uranus"
You got the rest right.
Yeah I go to Madison as well. I guess this is just what happens when we need to let out anger about our football team getting rocked =P
And as we all know, premature launches are not satisfying.
I only it for massaging my wrist, I swear!
Or missing more than they think, depending on how you wanna look at it

It just ruined the game when people started selling their items on Ebay.
