comment Change ArcGIS License using Script
You can change the license type via a batch file (gis.stackexchange.com/a/31617/3137), I'm not sure about changing the license server's IP address.

comment What is a good way to share a GeoDatabase over the internet?
I would try using WinRAR to archive the file GDB folder rather than ZIP. RAR compresses better, and can easily be set up to create a set of smaller archive files rather than one big one, and can test the archive for integrity after it's been created. Then you can transfer the archive files via FTP and reassemble them on your end.

comment What are the units of the calculated area from a raster in decimal degree
As GetSpatial said, your areas are in square meters. 43873037 * 0.0083333338 (the size of each cell, in square meters) = 365608.662141.

comment How to convince an organization to move towards open source GIS?
This question might be better as a community wiki, seems like there are many possible correct answers (which I look forward to reading).

comment Is there a way to improve the render quality of ESRI basemaps when exporting a map to PDF or JPG?
hey Mintx, turning the Output Image Quality to 1:2 (halfway between Normal and Best) actually worked better than anything else, if you want to submit that as an answer I'll accept it.

comment Is there a way to improve the render quality of ESRI basemaps when exporting a map to PDF or JPG?
I've had this problem with most of them at one time or another, the quality of the PDF often doesn't match up to what I'm seeing on-screen before I export to PDF. The map above is the "Terrain With Labels" one. The dots are the grid in my layout view in ArcMap, so they don't appear in the PDF.

I exported to tiff already, the result was just as bad as exporting to PDF. The gray lines in those screenshots above are a vector layer and they look fine, and so do all the other layers in the project, it's just the ESRI basemaps that give me this problem.

Yep, I have it turned all the way up. I'll try varying it.

comment Best method to convert CSV file of lat/lon and depth data to bathymetry polygon?
I'm also not clear what you're trying to do, are the points described in your CSV file the vertices of the polygons you'd like to create, and you just need to connect the dots?

comment Download/Upload GPS/Qgis don't work anymore
I'd start by separating the GPX download/upload procedure from QGIS, there are quite a few freely available programs that will let you transfer GPX files between a Garmin and your PC, try GPS Trackmaker (www.trackmaker.com), DNRGarmin, and GPS Utility (www.gpsu.co.uk).
