It seems to. I have Verizon service, and my phone has options to set the next incoming call to be a fax or data call. I assume it's so I could receive a fax with a fax machine hooked up to my phone somehow, but I've never used the feature.
Please explain yourself a bit better. I hope I've merely misunderstood what you wrote.
IT's purpose is to manage technology. That may involve distributing laptops where appropriate, but it most certainly is not to supply every user's whim. That is plain silly: it would cost entirely too much, and even if you did have the money, it would result in an unmanageable mess. The place where I work now, people gave up trying new smartphones every week, because it turns out the company-supplied Blackberries do a better job integrating with the mail server, which turned out to be more important to them than having shinier devices that didn't work as well.
Do you think there might be a reason for company policies regarding what you may and may not attach to a company-owned network? Hint: it's not to stop you from doing your job better. If you want to try something different, you make a business-case for it to the powers that be. It's not your network. One place I worked, a developer hooked a personal, faulty PDA up to his workstation. The *second* time he blew the motherboard out, he admitted to it. We weren't averse to him using a PDA, but if it had been a company-provided PDA on a company PC, he needn't have worried that he was going to get charged to replace the PC, twice.
You talk about backing up desktops and laptops. No enterprise I've worked in (some with data centers half the size of a hockey rink and almost as cold) worries about backing up desktop PCs, except for the small businesses with workgroups of PCs and few servers. Much less so for backing up laptops. It's just not worth it to purchase the hardware and backup agent licenses for a lot of PCs. For the relatively few PCs you might really need to back up, you roll them up with the servers.
Your second-to-last sentence doesn't even make sense. However, as far as moving from a mainframe to a PC not being mastered goes: PCs and mainframes do different things. PCs are good for working interactively, but mainframes are good at churning through batched jobs. If a mainframe gets replaced, it's usually because there's a big-enough server to take over the work, or a bigger mainframe is needed.
The updates are all separate, as far as I can tell. First, I got the capacity increase, and then I got IMAP. I don't have the new interface yet, though.
The only problem I have with IMAP (and this is NOT Google's problem) is that I have a pretty bad wireless connection. HTTP tolerates it much better.
That one's a tough call. Enabling or disabling that particular thing isn't something users should be doing very frequently, and there's also the problem that if the option to hide that thing is available through a right-click context menu, there can't be a corresponding menu there to turn it back on. There are users where I work who manage to hide their toolbars accidentally: "Please help... I can't reply to messages!" I don't see how they do it, but it happens!
2. You *have* to install with latest version of Outlook in order to get rid of annoying 'click here to enble instant search' bar in your toolbar.
You do not. Go into the Tools menu, Options, Other tab, Advanced Options, and uncheck the "Show prompts to enable Instant Search" in Outlook 2007.
If you are sufficiently motivated, you can use the Office Customization Tool to get rid of Instant Search, the prompt to download Windows Desktop Search, and the prompt to synchronize Outlook's RSS feeds with the Common Feeds that all pop up the first time a user runs Outlook 2007.
Bear in mind, though, I'm not debating "easy" vs. "possible".
I used Cat-5 cables in a stereo for something, either from the receiver to the speaker or the computer into the receiver. I forget which. I seem to recall some soldering of connectors was involved.
Either way, it was low power and it didn't introduce any noise into the signal that I could perceive, and it worked well enough for my purposes.
I did, also at Atlanta Linux Showcase. I asked him what happened to tacohell (this was back when it was very, very purple), and he said you had to put the / on the end now.
ISTR that the,1 caused the program to be loaded at an address other than the default, start-of-BASIC address. You could load machine language programs in there and then use the SYS command with the address of the start of the program. You could, if you wanted, also use the,1 to load BASIC programs, but they'd end up at the same address as they always did without the,1. The specific address was somehow stored with the file.
Autostarting was (again, if I recall correctly) done by loading the program with a,1 into the address of the next instruction to be executed, but I never programmed the Commodore 8-bit computers in machine language.
You don't keep the hot oil in the server room: you pipe it to a heat exchanger somewhere, probably outside to a radiator. You'll still need a fan to draw air through the radiator, but it's one big fan that makes more airflow than noise and not a thousand tiny fans making more noise than airflow.
If want to save more on the electricity bill, use the heated oil to pre-heat the line that goes into the water heater and (in the winter at least) the air going into the HVAC system for the building's occupied spaces.
My signature has been unchanged since I created my Slashdot account, but the retroactive-ness of signature changes here means you'd have to hit the Google cache to verify it.
I'll even admit that I was using the signature before I actually ran Debian.:-)

And we don't have an up-to-date list of Slash sites, but there are bunches.
Yeah, just Google for Slash...
Er, maybe don't. Tyrol/Boomer, fine. Helo/Boomer, that's fine too. It's the Tyrol/Helo stuff I needed the mental floss for.

Same here! I read Slashdot for a at least a couple months before I registered, and I'm pretty sure that was so I could save preferences.

Oh, wait... That's not the system you're talking about.
As far as I know, there's only the one. Better ask Slartibartfast.

Roadrunner is Exchange-based, at least where I live.

For a GDE, it must have seemed. A gosh-darned eternity, it was.
Yeah, but all it wants to do is talk about how much your favorite band sucks.
Yea, but there's an "M" and an "E"!
My favorite take on it is, "There is no 'I' in 'team', but there is an 'eat me' if you can re-use the 'e'."
There's a reason Desktop Publising is usually abbreviated DTP.

'Cause "publishing" is so hard to spell.
But they *will* know, very briefly, when the cap busts.
