Put a deposit meter in the dash and monitor it like gas, you can deposit say $10 to drive around town for the day and watch the dollars drain away as you put on the miles, or as time passes. when it runs to $0 remain you turn the car off just like a payphone would hang up on you.
I have to wonder though if this could be put to a better use, say for a long term low use lease, Track how many times a car was driven, miles, speeds, driving habits ie, does the driver abuse the car by inflicting high RPMs, spinning tires, speeding etc.
Then generate a send a monthly statement to the driver based on that months use.

I am not sure what you are working on, The mass majority of editing I do is either removing, segments of time from a long video capture, Time between innings as the coaches work to get 10 little kids out on the field and ready to play... or half time I forgot to turn the camera off during, cleaning pieces I don't want to waste space saving. Or splicing together clips from New Years, Valentines day, Easter, Halloween etc, and saving them as a compilation of the year.
Demux is lacking in more advanced features, like placing, or resizing a video to play inside of another clip, or replacing green screen with a 2nd video, at least it isn't anything I have played with...
Who moderates the content up loaded is it like a Wikipedia thing?
Can I go looking for a "How do I chop watermelons?" sub routine for a "How do I make Fruit Salad" Program, and wind up with a killer robot, because someone either on purpose or accidentally defined watermelons as "Available round objects 9 to 13 inches in diameter" ?
I am all sorts of wrong while I do recall the nice cup I was referring to this passage.
"Then, one day, a student who had been left to sweep up after a particularly unsuccessful party found himself reasoning in this way: If, he thought to himself, such a machine is a virtual impossibility, it must have finite improbability. So all I have to do in order to make one is to work out how exactly improbable it is, feed that figure into the finite improbability generator, give it a fresh cup of really hot tea... and turn it on! "
My general guidelines, for data storage, Fields A, B, through Z by $X records
is $X > 10,000 records? - If Yes use a DB if No see Next Question
Do I need separate out data by type or access, such as Joe can see Name, DOB, Telephone number, Address, Emergency contact info etc. But Jane should only see Name, and Emergency Contact? - If Yes use a DB if No see Next Question
Will more than 1 user need to write data at to this at the same time? If Yes use a DB if No see Next Question
Will more than have users need to read data from this at the same time or will anyone need to read real time changes data? If Yes use a DB if No see Next Question
If you have answered No to all of the above questions, Then use a spreadsheet.

Sincerely your system admin,
Copy & Paste your KBs then proof read each letter make small adjustments where needed. Must most KB description articles are close enough with proper php scripting you should have no trouble pulling the relevant info from the page in the variables. and customizing a script with the info they want to see.
Print and repeat. Hand them hard copies, drink beer,
After they sign off on about 30 of them they will get tired and just say just do what you think is best and go back to doing your job.
Why do people on this site believe that everyone who is interested in tech is a programmer? This"just write it" is foolishness of the highest order. For many of us non-programers "just write it" is like telling some one living in Florida to "just build a plane and fly to that concert in Vienna after work tomorrow". If that seems like a ridiculous ask, then so is asking a person without the skill to write a script for that. So it can be done in 20 minutes, use that 20 minutes to help someone by writing the program and loading it to a repo. All the 20second tutorials in the world will not get someone to write a program if they just don;t have the skill set. This is part of the reason Windows is successful: think of a problem, there is likely program out there that solves it already, and if there isn't one someone will soon write one (Apple users just go and buy one). Linux will not get out of single digit adoption until people with the skills write and edit programs for the non-programers like myself because when stuff needs to get done fast Windows will have the program (and yes it is easier to clean out the malware and fight the popups than it is to write the program).
To learn is to know ones own value.
To expect something is to not care about yourself or your worth.
I use Universal Media Server on OS X, which is available for Windows, OS X and Linux. It works well with our WD HD TV Live and various Samsung TV and DVR devices. But the first thing to do would probably be to get the Netgear device the boot.

I have a MythTV Frontend that sits at the TV and reads information from mounted SMB/CIFS Shares on another server for videos, and audio. I like it a lot mainly due to the IR receiver and remote setup with it for easy navigation.
I think if I was in his shoes I would have taken this approach.
1. We want the passwords to the network.
2. Okay give me a couple days to gather them in a single document.
3. Hand write the documentation, Type and print a letter of receipt of said credentials including "To the best of my knowledge this is every login password or other key I have any knowledge of as of [Date]" and "Requester has requested these documents, be created, and the transfer of responsibilities and liabilities to themselves all systems of San Fransisco" "As requested I have labored to document the following information" & "Requester accepts full responsibility for requesting the documentation of this information" Hand over the documents after the Requester signs the letter of receipt in front of a notary.
4. Send the City a bill for your time documenting and preparing paperwork, Lawyers time to compose the letter of receipt.
Who would be in favor of taking our 100 Senators and 435 Representatives and making the Law writers, they can compose them, but they can no vote on them. Remove the Presidents privilege of Veto, and put every law or budget change to a public vote in the U.S. Designate the first Tuesday of every month the day to vote yes or no on what ever the composers can put in front of the people. - 51% of the votes required to Pass any given change and let the people be responsible and stop blaming the few they elected because they are doing the best they can to represent the people who put them where they are.
1. - READ your local Traffic Laws. 2. - Obey them religiously. 3. - Wave and nod to every cop you pass because you know that unless they have another valid reason (Broken tail light, Cracked windshield etc) They aren't going to pull you over for what you are doing. 4. - Enjoy life, wave and nod at all the bad drivers, and those drivers pulled over for practicing unsafe driving habits like texting at a red light, or speeding, then go home and know that you are better them.
Is it really that hard to live with in the guidelines of reasonable thinking ? Can anyone point at a law that is completely unreasonable ? There is no excuse for breaking the laws and rules of society and ignorance is not an excuse.
Break the law go to Jail. Do not pass Go do not collect $200
Here is an idea instead of writing tickets and fining bad drivers increase the punishment factor. -
Speeding ? - 1 day in lockup for each mile per hour over the posted limit, in addition to the fines. Texting ? - impound the device in question. - returned when the fine is paid. Careless driving ? - 7 days in lockup mandatory. Reckless or cause an accident without injury ? - 30 days in lockup Accident causing injury ? - 90 days in lockup Accident causing death ? - Life in Prison or Death row and hope they have an in with the Governor
They're making incredibly unpopular design changes without giving people any real option to do things their own way and driving their own userbase away. Unity and other ass backwardsness pissed me off SO MUCH that I learned to use Arch Linux just to get away from it.
Ever since they made Unity the default, I have chosen to go back to this method.
1. - Install Ubuntu Server 2. - Apt-get install xserver, gdm of choice, Fluxbox or GUI of your choice. 3. - Don't blame Ubuntu for picking one default. (The problem with picking one is that you will never please everyone) - If you don't like it change it.
Some soon we only have one utility bill for electricity - no waste pickup because everything goes back in the Mr. Hopper (Fusion) 2000 attached to your 3D Printer and gets reused. - We'll have closed water systems in every house, with new filtration systems that let you keep reusing the same 300 gallon allotment over and over. - Sewage will be broken down after water filtration and could be the building blocks for your kids, supply of pencils, its all carbon right ?
Just remember if you have house guests over be sure to keep them there for at least one bowl movement or you will soon run out of printing supplys . . . .
On the other hand if the Company already has a Disaster Recovery plan in place.
1. - Company XYZ was pwn'd 2. - Pay the IT lackies the overtime to spend the next week rebuilding and restoring from backup tapes. 3. - Call the Insurance company and have them write checks to customers for breaches in contracts. 4. - Have Public Relations issue a statement apologizing for the data leakage / loss / comprised whatever. 5. - Call Advertising and have them start a new campaign around a "They took us down but we get up again" Slogan. 6. - Raise prices and budget to fix the issue next year.
I have another Magic utility - My kitchen sink not only does it magically produces cold water but hot water too..... And another make hole that makes it disappear.
Ever wonder what percentage of America would survive an extended blackout period if we were to shutoff Electricity, Water, and Gas Utilities for just 1 year or even 3 months say December through February. Then turn everything back on and count the bodies of those that couldn't figure how to live.
So if I live in New Orleans at 30 feet below sea level, I shouldn't complain when the flood destroys everything I own, and its perfectly reasonable to use the insurance money to rebuild in that same spot just I like did the last 5 times it flooded ?
I have some nice property that you can build your house on and install your own locks in. But did I for get to tell you the property is really a barge in the ocean, and there is already 200 houses there, And there is only one man that can make locks for houses built on our barge.
- What if it sinks ? - What if the lock maker makes a master key for access to anything on the barge ? In case the police want to know whats been put there ? - Sure I can put my own lock box inside my house but really does that make it safe ?
I better concept would be to pay a monthly $100 to who ever can get a drone to photograph them doing the most outlandish stunt. Naked Keg stands for instance would be right up there. Or dress a group in Red Ski Jackets and on a snow covered field flash mob spelling out "We See You Too"

All I want is my slide out keyboard and the thing to boot up to a CLI where I can type,
Call XXXXXXX hit return and it brings up the phone app and dials. When the call ends I get a CLI again.
Launch Store > Install an App
Launch App
Give me the control to only run the things I want. If I wanted processes running while the application wasn't I would buy a Mac....
Android ever behaves like ios's walled garden - I'll dump my devices for a Windows phone and tablet.
Wouldn't it be better if he had asked ..
"Siri, how do I get a way with murder?"
And then have the Jury find him innocent?
I am all sorts of wrong while I do recall the nice cup I was referring to this passage.
"Then, one day, a student who had been left to sweep up after a particularly unsuccessful party found himself reasoning in this way: If, he thought to himself, such a machine is a virtual impossibility, it must have finite improbability. So all I have to do in order to make one is to work out how exactly improbable it is, feed that figure into the finite improbability generator, give it a fresh cup of really hot tea... and turn it on! "
A really hot cup of tea !
BFAE
Best Fucking Acronym Ever
Everyone is guilty, even the police,
The police don't have any reason to assume you are innocent, they are there to try and figure out what it is you are guilty of.
Just last week I was jaywalking, the week before that I ran a red light, and yesterday I tossed an apple core out the window in the middle of town.
If I ever get called in for questioning, I will admit to these crimes before they ever pull out the ginger beer.
Never refuse to assist police with their inquires.
Think about the golden rule, "How pissed would you be if someone did this to you?"
Anything above a bit miffed, then Don't do it, its that simple.
Live your life and let the rest of them rot in jail.
