If you're going to do RAID, seriously consider RAID6 over RAID5. Yes, the extra disk costs money and a port, but the bathtub failure probability curve suggests that after infant mortality and during the 20-30 hour RAID5 rebuild after a 1-drive failure, you have a significantly non-zero probability of a second drive failure (especially considering you'd be running it at 100% load for those 20-30 hours).
My other solution is "rm -rf/*".
I am also in the same area and Comcast Business Internet is a slam dunk if you can get it. The service reps and phone techs are completely different than the home/consumer experience. They have short hold times and the few times I have had outages or cable cuts (stupid building maintenance people!) I have actually been able to get same day on-site techs.
They offer statics for a reasonable price and very good throughput. I have a couple different service tiers at different locations, with the highest being DOCSIS3 50/15 service. Let me tell you that it sure is fun to be able to download things at 4MB/sec if it is backed by a good CDN.
I know their home customer service blows, but their commercial service is awesome. And they will install commercial service to a home. The only downside is that you can't get a TV+Internet bundle discount (but with DSL, you aren't getting that now anyway).
If you read the linked Washington Post article, they mention that the 370 NM camera is for the the low-resolution camera. In the article, they brag that it was the then widest angle reconnaissance camera. The high-resolution, and therefore narrow field, camera had a resolution of 2' 6". There is also a description of a counter-rotating optic system, which would indicate to me that they were using a scanning-style panoramic camera yielding a much larger film area than 24mm x 36mm.
If I had to guess (with no particular expertise on the subject), I bet they were using something more like extra long rolls of 120 (6cm wide) roll film.
They key difference, as it relates to this case, is that the cell phone was recording audio at the same time. Photography and audio recordings are subject to different rules.
They could just use paper ballots like everyone else... You can count 200 ballots in a matter of minutes instead of training students on an electronic system that may or may not be flaky.
I vote for this strategy because then no contraband will ever be present on your computer in China. Nothing on the computer, nothing for authorities to find in your cache or via deleted file recovery.
Fail. Lower gears actually have less power because the gear train is less efficient at greater reduction factors. The lower gears, however, have higher torque and acceleration.
Photons only come in quantum energy levels when they are generated from a quantum process. Conversely, blackbody radiation is a probability distribution of energy levels.
Isn't "75% more efficient" only 75% more output? Efficiency is usually listed as lm/W which clearly would indicate 75% more efficient is 75% more lumens. On the other hand, "75% less energy" is 4 times the efficiency.

Hmm, posting from an iPhone apparently snarfs the line breaks...

Otherwise you might as well plug in your own assumptions.
I see what you did there...
On the IR theme, many webcams have an IR blocking filter than can be removed to greatly increase IR sensitivity. You even have extras to practice on!
It isn't that they wouldn't give him one free, it's that they know he would refuse to take it without paying for it.

And we're there.
The cops? No. But the judges and lawyers will care.
That's why surveillance cameras don't record audio.

Could just not use the phone in the bath....

Wait! Who on Slashdot still has a VCR? Ok, I'll get off your lawn now UID3872.
That reminds me of Mac System 6.x which loved to crash on save or print. But there was none of this "autosave" business so save your butt.
If you read the updated post, the developer DID withdraw every week and still got burned.
I find it to be a good euphemism for the gene pool...

Or use rsnapshot and be lazy...

Yes, RTFA.

Well said -- wish I had points.
