are you trolling? or just stupid? patching 2000 boxes does not necessarily mean rebooting: that's what "hotfix" means. a year or two uptime's fine with regular patching...
it's because oracle are trying to be clever and shipping a "universal installer CD" that's meant to work on any OS they support. in their eagerness to take their platform independence to a tedious conclusion, they broke the fuckign thing.
sometimes, the easiest solution isn't the worst solution...
nah, think of all the cost implications of those nerf wars in the cubicles, and the health and safety issues caused by all those mac boys hanging their mountain bike on the office walls...
they probably wanted better than 5MP resolution - you can get higher res with a high quality scientific b&w camera. if you take 3 still photos through RGB it's functionally identical to a colour camera - i.e. it IS a colour camera - and there would be nothing gained by sending up a "colour" camera that took a single shot and ended up with a poorer quality (but by your definition a real colour picture) result.
...because it was clicked using a user account and password that you're responsible for, and that you signed a ToS document for to cover the company in precisely this kind of circumstances.

no it doesn't.
xtend connect comes bundled with the phone and works fine without you having to pony up any money at all.
same holds true of the T68, T68i, T610, T630, P800 and P900 - probably many more but these are the only ones I've personally used.
yes. look at any modern GSM handset. they all do it. my nokia from 4 years ago does it. any decent sony ericsson does it. why not make an effort and look?
fair and reasonable would be copying the install cd and keeping one safe in the event of media damage: it doesn't extend to installing as many pirate copies as you think is reasonable. take it to court, and you'd lose, plain and simple and anyone who disagrees is Just Plain Wrong. The End.
RTFM: this is designed to protect the car park of thousands of new cars, to stop them getting dented predelivery. They're not mounting sonic cannon on the roof of each vehicle, although if it was an option I *would* buy it!

isn't case-sensitive email contrary to the RFCs? I don't care if you want to do it, just wondering if officialy the various mail protocols were meant to support it. i've always assumed (perhaps wrongly) they didn't...
all the new polyphonic SE models have this option. and yes, it's cool for about 2 rings, then it's just damn annoying. leave your phone in the office and come back after someone's been persistently ringing you and see how irritated it makes people!
For handsfree, i've even seen a guy take a normal earpiece-and-mic handsfree kit and insert it in an old BT-style rotary-dial telephone handset. it surprised people when he pulled it out of his pocket...
rule of thumb: heat output proportional to the square of the clockspeed increase. double the clock speed, quadruple the heat. this isn't exact, but it's close enough.
and if i drain all the oil out of my car and drive it, it's going to kill the engine. build pc, fit heatsink/fan - where's the problem? they don't just fall off, you know.

"there is no written contract nor technology use policy?"
That's you screwed then. Don't do *anything* without your line management putting it in writing. You'd be opening yourself up to all sorts of legal nasties. In the EU, it's very thorny: despite AUPs to the contrary, people have still been charged for infringing the HRI by reading others email. Even if the AUP covers it mind: and also bear in mind any email that account's recieved from other people. They didn't sign any policy and so could argue that you've infringed their privacy.
All this is closing the door after the horse has bolted: get a formal ToS written now by a lawyer, get everyone to sign it, and tread carefully.
There's plenty of IT positions where you have a direct impact on peoples' lives: try working for a large hospital or pharmaceutical business. Look at clinical trials management software, etc - I'm sitting here debugging an ECG trace at the moment...
I agree with most, but "Every single USB/1.0-2.0 and/or FireWire-400/800 device you can get your hands on is already compatible with OS X...If you can plug it into your mac, it works" isn't true. There's loads of USB stuff it doesn't work with: take the MyCam 120 web cam I tried the other day: nada. There's a small list of supported ones you can get drivers for on sourceforge, but that's it.

fair enough: the point being: very specialist cameras vs a nikon coolpix strapped to a probe...

have you had a bad day? I sympathise.
that'd rule. although i'd imagine i'd end up browsing sites that weren't quite office-friendly.
