Take about a 5" spring and mount it vertically on a mounting plate. Attach a tilt switch to the top of the spring to create a normally open switch. Attach the switch in a way that jostling the spring closes the switch. Attach the switch leads to a normal door bell.

Abstract The present invention relates to methods and apparatus for processing patents to remove redundant information thereby making the patents more suitable for transfer and storage through a limited-bandwidth medium. The present invention specifically relates to methods and apparatus useful in intellectual property systems. Typically, the system determines differences between the current input patents and the previous input patents using mean-square difference of the patents. These mean-square of the patents are processed and compared with one or more thresholds of redundency for determining one of several modes of operation. After processing in some mode, the sucessfully processed patents are in the form of digital numbers and these digital numbers are coded, using ordered redundancy coding, and stored in the database.

Additionally, employees can take advantage of a corporate 401K plan, investing up to 20% of their salaries in a variety of fund options. As an added perk, WorldCom matches 100% of an employee's contribution to the 401k plan, up to 5% of the employee's salary, after only one year of employment. Planning for the future is of the utmost importance, so WorldCom makes this investment easy for every full-time employee.

Let me know who else can provision a cable modem in a single cable provider community and I will retract my statment. Most communities have a local monoply for cable services. Aggregate these communities together and you have monopolies.
Unfortunatly, the FCC say that communities can not regulate broadband in the same manner they regulate cable. I will go a step further to state that most cable companies provide internet as an unregulated monoply in their respective communities.
My mother lives in a community with a large cable company and a city owned cable provider. The cable company is much more customer oriented and price competitive as they do not have a monopoly.
Which part of "the companies will screw the customers anyway they can" did you miss?
Bandwith is limited by infrastructure and bandwidth fees and the company's goal is to spend as little on each as possible. As these are monopolies, unless someone (the government, a class action suit, hackers etc.) force people to take a look at what is happening, things just get worse. I would be very curious what percent of the cable fees actualy go to bandwith vs. profit.
Theft of bandwith is not right, I agree, but abusive monopolies like cable companies are not right either.
As another example, it would be wrong to take up two seats on an airliner when you only bought one ticket.
Is it still wrong to take 2 seats if the airline reduced the seat width from 18" to 9" to save money while still charging the same price? I am afraid I would have one asscheek in each seat.
Cable and cable modems are not the commons. They are monoplies run by companies trying to extract maximum profit for minimum work. I do not want to say that bandwith theft is correct, but there are two sides to the coin, and I have a hard time feeling sorry for the 'poor' cable company.
At one point I asked Time Warner to provide free internet service to a community center located in a neighborhood where the median income is $2000 below the poverty line (2000 census). They declined, not because it would be a precident (they provide it to facilities in other communities) but because they were so used to screwing our community they did not feel the need. So much for the commons.

I think we need to look at how we educate as a cause for false results. My two cents:
High School Chemistry Experiments
Expected results are known
A if you get expected results F if you don't
Crappy equipment and sad lab partners
Do you:
1>Turn in the results you got even though they are wrong and take the F.
2>Doctor the results and get an A.
Most 'college prep' students choose #2. What have we preped them for?

Given today's headlines, Brazil seems to be the truest version of the future. From terrorism to coporate abuse of the population to environmental damage , Terry Gilliam has hit the nail on the head. Even the smaller details like abuse of the phone system , rouge technicians bucking the establishment , and lousy technical support ring true.
