    I find the most arrogant are deathly afraid of public speaking, joining Toastmasters fixed that fast for a couple of friends.

    BluRay drive for the computer. anyDVD and handbrake. It strips out the region locking and the useless DRM to allow you to create a file that can play on a media center or right there on your laptop/desktop

    Rip out their DRM.

    Yes I do "have a fucking clue" as to what it's like to have kids. and I would NEVER waste money on this device. sorry but people are not lurking around the corner to kidnap my or anyone elses kids.

    when this device is needed is when they are 13 to 18 and being little asshats. Then It needs to be a non removable collar.

      Raised 4 kids, last one is 13 right now my 19 year old was a major pain and caused more trouble than 99% of you have ever experienced.

    Real problems stem from family and the kids friends. Not from a random person at disneyland.

    Dear rich guy, "stranger Danger" is not real. Worry about your closest family or friends more than some random person taking your spawn.

    Says someone that knows nothing about RF or how a faraday cage works....

    It will be highly effective at preventing this. and if you use a pair of ethernet to fiber transceivers to make a copper air gap, you can have connectivity inside that cage that will not drag the energy in.

    and getting power filters to filter incoming power is trivial as well. Stopping spikes coming in on electrical power lines is actually really easy.

    Really, what ones have lasted 20 years, Because I have found none that do. Note: I have worked for a LED bulb distributor. the return rate is nasty high. They last about 1-2 years on average. Warranty replacement rates are high as hell on them.

    Because the incandescent ban is for the old out of date crap that sucked and worked better as a heater than a lightbulb. Halogen bulbs are the replacement. Who did you get your education on the ban from? Because they did not know what they are talking about, you should stop listening to the uneducated news network.

    "Surely you already did that 3 years ago, so now you're preparing for the switch to LED?"

    Why? so I can get less light output for the same watts used but instead of spending $8.95 per bulb I get to spend $39.99?

    LED is a joke for home lighting, only fools are buying it right now. CFL is still way more efficient.

    Really? After I calculate the hours worked I'm getting paid a LOT less than the guys that make $22.50 and are hourly.

    Because they don't work 75 hours a week and are paid for only 40 of them. As a professional you would have actually learned math and understand this.
