Decent Motion Sensing Lights?
Above asks: "At my previous house I purchased a number of motion sensor lights to replace the standard flood lights. I simply went to the nearest Home Depot and bought a mid range model, and they worked great. Since then I've moved, and in the new house I did the same, and got some Heath-Zenith units from Home Depot. They were junk (came on all the time for no reason). I adjusted two different units to no end, they simply didn't work. Since that was basically all Home Depot carried, I went to Lowes, and got a Regent Lighting unit. It was better, but not by much. I want my back yard to be relatively sensitive, triggered by the dogs when we let them out, but the front yard to be insensitive, triggered only by a car or the close approach of a person. Where can I get a good quality, motion sensor flood light? What are the secrets to aiming and adjusting them so they work right?"

Oil: We've found mineral oil works very well for cooling processors. Give it a try.
Pens: Not only do they write poorly, but you don't have access to the blueprints to improve them. You're forever stuck in Bic's pen goes scratchy - buy a new pen upgrade cycle. Try OpenOffice on Ubuntu.
Dog: Aibo.
Piece: I've played a lot of Quake2. In my time in lmctf, I've experimented a lot, and the HyperBlaster is *the* all-around offense weapon to have. However, I haven't found any in the local gun shops, so I'd recommend looking into an AK-74, which has served me well in BF2.
