For much of their stuff, they consider that a license is invalidated by "transferring" it to another user and you'll have to repurchase it again, even if you have all the media. I found that out when trying to get some SGI software off Ebay.
It is well known that some of the Latitudes and Inspirons and Precisions are identical units except for casing and bios changes especially throughout the C Series. In some models you can pull the Quadro card out of the Precision and install it in a Latitude or Inspiron.
Dell might be planning on offering this as a Precision model with some kind of Quadro card in the dock.
I used to work in the military simulation business about six years ago.
I did as well and we were replacing simulators based around SGI Crimson and newer (mid to late 90's era SGI equipment) with a simultator built around Dell P4 desktops with a rack of Quantum3D image generators (Dual P3 systems with 1GB ram)
To clarify, 3G is a specification for wireless data speeds, EVDO, EDGE, UMTS, and HSDPA are all 3G. I think technically 1xRTT is 3G but it is at the lowest end that some people call it 2.5G. EVDO, UMTS, HSDPA, and 1xRTT are based on a form of CDMA, UMTS and HSDPA of course using SIMs just like GSM/GPRS/EDGE.
If you use Dell computers, ask your Dell rep about the "Dell Ximage". It starts with you proving them a hard drive of a completely set up machine. Then they remove all of the drivers and put a custom front end on it. They give you a dvd that you can boot that ghosts the image to an HD. When it boots up, the Ximage loader determines what model Dell computer you have and installs all the correct drivers. The install stage takes about an hour. If it doesn't detect your model such as a non-dell computer it dumps you back to the enter your serial number screen. Other than that, it is automated.
We do quarterly updates with it and also Dell pre-loads it on all our new computers, when they boot up, it takes you to the network setup wizard where you name the computer, set the time zone and join it to your domain.
What I do to save time is after a computer is done, I take it off the domain, and set up the RunOnce key in HKLM to launch newsid.exe (from sysinternals). Then I make a ghost image of each model computer we use. When it boots up and you log in as the admin it prompts you to rename the computer. Then you manually join it ot the domain.
My back pain went away when I started using a machine at the gym that you strap into and do reverse sit-ups in. You sit and lean back repeatedly. It is extremely easy to do even with 200+ lbs on it and it really helps. When I cancelled my gym membership for financial reasons, the pain returned.
When I first saw Alienware, I just thought, "Hmm, so they painted an Antec case green and filled it with high-end parts". When the laptops came out, they caught my interest, but the PCs never did anything for me. That Antec case they've been using has been around since 1997 or so.
With OS 4.02 or higher, the 7250 supports EVDO. You just have to make sure before you load the newer OS that you contact your provider and make sure your account is set up to allow EVDO otherwise you'll get "Data Connection Refused" when trying to transmit data. Check out blackberryforums.com to get more info.
I've not dealt with that many IBM's but with Dell, if you can provide proof of ownership, Dell will issue you a one time master unlock password that will let you in even a locked laptop. My comments on the whole issue is that laptop hard drives are more failure prone than PC drives simply because people bump them around and such. Make sure to educate your users on what the sound of a failing HD sounds like so they can get the laptop to the IT department ASAP so the data can be Ghosted (or similar product) to another drive.
Guarantees only come with household products. I endorse wiretapping anyone who's having a lot of conversations with known terrorists. And that's my opinion.
FYI: HSDPA needs a 3G SIM to work. The cingular SIM here used in a Sierra 860 cards says on the front "64K smartchip" and on the back has the 3G logo on it and is made by Gemplus. Regular Cingular SIMs won't authenticate to the 3G system.
Well I'm sure there are limitations as to the range, there's no reason why they should be able to transmit below Channel 1 or above Channel 14. So there are probably hard wired locks on going outside of the range, at least to make the FCC happy. However making a 802.11B/G signal jammer would be a possibility.
I'm testing some HSDPA cards with Cingular, though the area I'm in the majority of the time does not have HSDPA coverage. I can, however, get an EDGE connection, which is pretty slow feeling. I've been to areas that are covered and the experience seems much snappier (less latency) than the Verizon EV-DO cards that we have as well, though it seems the Verizon cards have better coverage (or maybe I'm just saying that because we can get an EVDO connection in our office where as we can't get an HSDPA or UMTS connection here).
The feel is that there isn't a very big latency, but considering that online gaming is a different animal, it may be much higher.

I love the Brits.
Why stem cells obtained from embryos are so much better than stem cells obtained from other sources that don't cause people to start arguing?
What I've seen so far, every cool new stem cell discovery has been done with adult stem cells.

Oh, that's why.

having police and death penalties doesn't really seem to disuade people from murdering.
Well, the latter sure cuts down on repeat offenders!
Start on the left and move to the right... Just an FYI.

The funny thing is, if you go to Lenovo's site, the first picture you see is a Thinkpad with an IBM logo on it.
Yep, that's right, I forgot about Sager laptops. Someone pointed it out on the Dell Forums before.

Because the workaround involves pulling mail as it is opened, it will slow down the downloading.
