IF HBO was to tell all the cable companies to go screw themselves and went to a netflix/AppleTV model, they would utterly crush the market. release apps for Roku, and other devices to watch the HBO channel of shows, have the initial release as the $3.99/$6.99HD purchase to download it the second it is released and a week later offer it streaming for the subscribers in a lesser format.
Things like their Boxing and other PPV sports, you switch to the live channel they broadcast over IP. IF Leo Laporte can do this, HBO can easily do this.
I would pay the $15.00 a month to HBO for access to their stuff without Cable TV.
Yes it is. So I download them violently, depriving HBO of money needed to feed the executives children. And then at the peak of their despair, I buy the special edition BluRay box set to further turn that screw.
I would subscribe to HBO GO if I could. but I refuse to give a obscene amount of money to Comcast for their overpriced crap just to get HBO.
So I violently download the episodes and watch them dripping in evil..... and when I can buy an even better version on BluRay...
But... I add more evil to it... I then RIP the bluray and put the files on my NAS in the house so I can watch it on multiple TV's at the same time....
That will never happen. All cops are dirty. Because the honest cops that don't rat on the dirty ones or demand they are fired are dirty for not doing it.
What the chief wont listen to you? the press certainly will.
If you dont turn in your "brothers" then you are as dirty as they are. Thus all cops are dirty.
If a criminal had ANY clue they would swap plates at minimum, or go high tech and use a nice bright display that can change to whatever they want.
Scan and store license plates, Yeah this will only catch the idiot drug runners, or simply increase the amount of car thefts so they can borrow a car for a drug run.
Because I would not touch that project for less than 5 figures plus an ongoing support contract of at least very high 4 figures or low 5 figures.
I am highly suspect of the "protect his family from scammers" and the "monitor and record all outgoing traffic"
If he is really interested about protecting his family from scammers then educating every in the home that "everything on the internet is a scam unless you personally know the person" is all that is needed.
Finally, if a lot of ipads and iphones are involved, your system is completely worthless as turning off wifi will disable your system completely for that unit. 3G on their ipads and iphones will bypass everything you can think of doing unless you force a VPN back to the home so that all traffic goes through there and refuse to share the admin password on the devices.
I made a Army Comms Major shit himself when I showed him how easy it was to find a satelite in the sky.
I grabbed my iphone, fired up dish pointer pro, lifted the phone and said, "Right there is USA-207. Isnt that the bird you guys use for Comms for the middle east?"
He just stared at me mouth open and then asked where did I get that program. as it was far more advanced than anything the US military has.
There is audio support in zoneminder,. It is currently a early beta plug in. but very very few security installs use audio because of state wiretapping laws prohibit it so it was not a priority of the developers.
I forgot that you can go even smaller as well, I forgot about the enphase micro inverters that grid tie. 210Watts with a single 260Watt panel for less than $500.00
That's over 1 Kwh a day that is removed from your electric bill calculated at 5 hours of peak output sunlight, at least for up here in Michigan. IF you live in the south you get a lot more solar hours per day so it goes up from there. IT's not a lot but it's an affordable start that makes a real impact on your electric bill. Smaller scale never has a good payback though.
If you are $50 a month you either have incredibly cheap electricity, or a very low power consumption at your home.
If you just dont use that much power, even a small 300 watt system can make a difference in your home electriclty bill. That's just $500 in panels and cable plus $600.00 for a 2500W grid tie inverter that will sync and back feed the power system. and then you have room for expansion up to 2000 watts of panels.
2000Watts with 5 hours of sunlight a day = 10Kwh a day
Now find an electrician that is not a thief and you can get it all installed ( Panels on the ground near the home) for probably $2600.00 total to start. Then just adda panel here and there when you have the cash. I bought used panels so I get them for about $1.00 a watt.
And a free software package, Zoneminder, is still 800% better than any product your company makes. Why? Because I can base it on a secure BSD or linux distro that will get updates for security holes on a regular basis. Your product, being china made will never have security releases to fix holes in the underlying Linux OS.
I have seen and dealt with the junk companies like yours make, Running incredibly old kernels and TCP stacks that have known exploits. The tip off that a CCTV recorder is junk? IT requires Active X to view the web view. That means its based on the old china OS image that has been floating around for well over 6 years now that is so full of holes it's not funny.
If your Security CCTV system is on the net or has the ports open to the net, then your IT guy is a moron and needs to be fired.
VPN in then connect to the Security cameras.. Yes it even works with the iPhone apps for the CCTV systems. Anything else is just proof of incompetence.

" "wait a year" to pay $159.99 for the boxed Blu-Ray set"
The limited edition was $40.00 if you got off your ass and knew where to pre-order it.
This show is not owned by whores that overcharge for things badly, like the Babalyon 5 Franchise owners.

The answer here is randomly pull over cars, if you find drugs, make the driver smoke all of it.
no matter the drug, he has to smoke ALL of it.
I am all for this!
Because I know that SS will be nothing in a couple of decades and I'll never see it.

""America is controlled by Morons"
You accidentally typed an extra M in there.
The above snippet explains the Entire Congress perfectly, so I am assuming that is what you meant.
Nope but investing in things that are not propped up by smoke and mirrors works well.
No I'm not talking the out of reality Gold and Silver.
What is more irrelevant is the CS degree.
CD? They are blind, not out of date luddites. Inserting the USB boot stick is quite easy for a Visually impaired person

"We don't let people drive cars on public roads that risk the safety of the other drivers."
you must not drive much. Here in Michigan out roads are full of complete morons that cant drive without being a risk to others.

Nuke them from orbit, the collateral damage is worth it.

Water is ok, same for that leg thing.
The problem is that it has been proven that people who breathe oxygen in any concentration are guaranteed to die.

Why 15K? you can start a lot smaller than that and add panels as you can afford to.
A nice 1/8th inch layer of thermite with an igniter over the chips will do just nicely.
Dont worry, the judge will find himself on a free vacation at Gitmo for his crimes against the government.

Michigan USA.
No subsidies at all. In fact I had to fight the power company and threaten a lawsuit as they were trying to block me from installing it.
