Chrome OS is already downloadable - it's sister project chromium os is open source. See here for one possible one Chromium OS builds by Hexxeh. the built in drivers limit things a bit though. What codecs? chrome os is essentially a full screen web browser with a underlying slimed down linux os to allow access to the hardware. Flash and Webfm are already baked in. OEM support is important because these things need to be able to work out the box. There was also some talk a few month ago of google having some kind of way of accessing programs on other machines. I'm guessing this will be some kind of app-v or X11 single windows streaming. probably the biggest issue around chrome os is if android honeycomb has already rendered it obsolete.

One of the reasons I started to use was to avoid shortcuts. In theory because everything is down in the cakephp way another developer could pick up my code and start to run with pretty fast. This is good for the college if I leave and also gives me a good starting point to open source projects at a latter stage (cake is under an MIT license). One of the best features I found if that if you spend time getting your database right then you can just hit go and full CRUD application is spat out the other end.

I've used cakephp for a couple of projects now. The original learning curve was a beast (but I was also still a php novice when I started). the Apress book and the cakephp online documentation were essential. Then that I've got my head around it though I can knockout database type web apps pretty damm fast and concentrate my efforts on advanced features, make them look etc. I found that the access control (user logins) in CakePhp are pretty rubbish though so I use apache security instead and tie it into my active directory

I put our main url into it and it made a pretty good attempt at layout, but far from perfect. I think for now we'll stick with jquery mobile though

There is a free version of wine for mac which will let you install IE as well. I can't say I got very far with it but then I'm not a really a mac man

+1 for virtualbox. I will run in seamless mode like unity. As free if it doesn't work out you've lost nothing but time and can go on to buy one of the other alternatives

pretty much yes I don't know how serif does things but if you go into the html view and just paste

I not quite sure what you're asking here? You have a form that when submit has been pressed will send to Form To Mail Script you then need to work thorught he instruction you've linked to and add in the required hidden fields to set the emailto, subject etc.

I don't think a screen shot will achieve much. All of those options can be themed and skinned in different ways and as such can all look really nice or really horrible. You want to be concentrating on features, development/ implementation costs, what your trying to achieve, staff training etc. also drupal/ joomla as a frontend. neither of these are used as a frontend as such - you still end up clicking through into moodle at some point. They can be used as a student portal though to link in other services and information

if you don't mind losing htsense you could install cyanogen mod which has a setting that automatically installs new apps to the SD - no need to go into the settings and click move to sd card.

lime survey is the only one I've really come across. We tend to use sharepoint now though for this

That would be a pretty poor datacenter. All datacenters will have backup power generators and secondary internet. Likewise they won't be running on one server but will be running virtual machines across multiple physical servers. the larger providers will then also virtualise across multiple datacenteres. This is why google now have an SLA that promises 100% uptime now, not the normal 99.9%. This is also why your one exchange server doesn't really count.

it can mean various things. but the simplest definition is if you think of a traditionally networking map you'd have a cloud symbol on it representing the internet. And basically that's the cloud. If it's in the internet then it's a cloud service. the slightly more complicated expalination is hosted cloud services. The bast way think about these is to think if i had an operating system with only a web browser and no internal storage on it could I use it? So the google apps/ office 365 cloud offering for example means that all documents are stores 'in the cloud' and can be edited and created via a web interface.

bookmark?

with those specs you probably want to be looking at Puppy Linux

There's is a droid proxy program in the market place. Also the popular cyanogen mod has proxying built in. Or you could just run with a transparent proxy

where were the image links pointing to after you'd upgraded - right click and do image properties

I'd move things around a bit to make your life easier and give it a slight more standard look. I'd move the link to the left or the top to make a menu bar - standard navigation. Put the logo in the header Then give your self a couple of blocks to display the other content - perhaps in a slider like the word press one that gets around. Put the address in the footer Yuo can then find a theme that fits the look as close as possible and go from there.

look in /etc/fstab and find out where you mounted the share to. probably /media/share1

to do it with php just use: mail($to,$subject, $message) or whatever the manual says the function is. then set up a scheduled task to fire it off and change the $message as needed. don't spend to much time it though as everyone says it will be ignored

surely that's against the Geneva convention or something?

check you're not an open relay

it looks like asus have got the features/ price point balance right again

I've done something a little similar in cakephp - which is a php framework. We also do similar things in our moodle - again more php needed The probelm isn't so much the database as the front end to it

the user will be able to download and upload files with sharepoint as well. What you'll need to ask yourself is do you really need a traditional shares and folder structure or would you be better served with each department having it's own sharepoint sub site. For example at my college staff don't have any mapped drives - everything goes through sharepoint.
