These are only used during class. What could they possibly be doing while students are there in front of them?
I believe the cleaning crew are the culprits, not your profs. They get physical access everywhere, so they feel every computer is theirs to use at 3AM.
I'm wondering if others have experienced similar problems and if there are any good ways to get employers to realize that my experience from tech support is actually a good thing and not a sign of incompetence.
Yes. I had to rely on who I knew and sell up the sysadmin internship I held in college to get hired as a sysadmin. No one wanted a "windows desktop support" guy running their linux servers, despite how heavily automated & scripted (using a dos version of bash of all things) the environment was at the windows desktop job.
Put your employment history lower on your resume; make it seem like the odd-job you think of it as, and tout your real skills - your real passion.

So when grandma's email address is in the from-field for some porn spam that gets past gmail filters?
The spammers will get into the inbox. You need to be there too if you want to make sure your kids learn the appropriate response to spam.
[Solaris] is superior to linux in security and performace.
In the way that Solaris leaves telnetd unfirewalled, turned on, and with a remote vuln on their latest OS, or in the way that Solaris can't run in super dinky hardware?
Friendly environment, free food, good furniture, understanding they have outside lives.
In fact, forget the park!^wfree food and furniture. I think most people would settle for friendly environment and understanding of outside lives. In fact, forget the friendly environment; the most important reasons to be at most work places revolve around things outside of work (unless you're part of emergency personnel).
generating more music sales as listeners go & buy the music they hear on the radio.

Absolutely wrong. [...] A in philosophy, F in science.

The example they feel is that we could possibly detect the gravity of 'something' in another Universe by its gravity
Or something in our Universe which is - according to 3D space - in a completely different place, but exerts gravity in weird 3D locations via 11D space. Could those galaxies just be attracted to themselves in a weird 11D way? Forget Perpetual Motion; Perpetual Acceleration's where it's at!
Or I write with tons of acronyms and big words. I need the spell check for the big words, but I want it to stop correcting on acronyms because it slows down what would normally be something easy to type. A passive auto-correct is much better, one where I hit the X to make the auto-correct carry through, but just keep typing if I know it's what I want.
A tiny physical keyboard.. really? That seriously can't be done entirely in software by now?
I own an iphone, zaurus, & ipaq. Software keyboards stink. Physical keyboards rule, no matter how tiny.
My second biggest gripe about the iphone is the heavy handed auto-correction that I have to leave on just to type reasonably fast, except I have to correct the auto-corrections 25% of the time so it doesn't save a lot of time.
The problem with OWA is that it is IE centric; FF and Konq have about 25% of the features available to OWA+IE. I use Tbird+imap for mail, and a Windows VM for configuring mail filters & settings via outlook. I've also trained my coworkers to send me emails about meetings because I don't use the calendar, and they don't complain because half of them are Mac fans.

No, wait that's too valuable to sell; I guess they're just going to sell the laser weapons. They'll make laser pistols with spare engineer cycles and sell them off to keep the engineers busy until they need to make something substantial.

You do know that MS didn't write Windows' TCP stack on their own, right?
So how's e.g. Wii Sports set in a fantasy world?
I rock at sports in that world, ergo Fantasy.

Is Apple confident that Google's open platform Android won't be much of a threat?
Apple is confident that Android won't be a threat; it doesn't install on iPhones because they control the Apple app store. Capiche?

Seems like they have invented a method to detect bad actors. How do they train it on real terrorists?
May have not been the type of "bad actors" they wanted to catch, but I'd accept some false positives if it gets Tom Cruise off the streets.

I think it would be awesome; that means no one would get hit by the lasers. Yo Joe!
