Cheapest I'd go is to take an old spring/mercury switch thermostat and replace the switch with a USB controlled switch, get a cheap USB thermometer, plug both of those into a hub, then plug the hub into a Sheevaplug.
You can get cheaper by replacing the Sheevaplug with something embedded, like an Arduino, but I'm too lazy.
When the jackbooted thugs drag off the elderly lady in the house with the oddly configured wifi, you know to leave town before she tells them who "helpfully" set it up for her.
And that's why I have a generator and half a dead animal in the freezer.
Stupid power company spends more on advertising than they do on maintenance around here, went a week without winter before last and didn't much care for it.
The included software is win-only. Several people have coded some linux tools of varying usefulness. You'll probably want to do your own calibrations, mine is consistantly off, but I've seen others complain of nonlinear responses.
Many racks already do this. Plus, if you aren't looking to pipe AC in each rack, just rotate your racks into alternating hot/cold aisles and seal them off so air can only pass through intakes/outflow vents.

Yes, it was a very gritty setting with lots of depth, but I believe they are bringing it back merely to fit a buzzword niche, not because they thought it was an awesome world. I expect them to 3/4-ass most of it and have "once you've made your X character, see the X Handbook for more than just subheadings" at least once.
Perhaps I'm reading more into it, but all I saw was "this is EXTREME, so it will sell".
Easy compared to doing it through a turbulent atmosphere from a fixed point on a spinning planet where the collimating optics can't be more than a few hundred feet from the source.
I don't have the url handy, but somebody already made a knock-off using plexiglas with a paper & rubber coating so he could both project visible light and detect touches using frustrated internal reflection in IR.
I forget if he used lenses or just a sharp angle and the distortion controls to keep the depth of the box down.
When's the last time you went down to the bookstore, bought a book printed on archival paper or vellum, and then placed it in a humidity-controlled/light-safe cave? Your last book probably was printed on a paper that will start getting fragile in less than 10 years, but the backing glue will probably crumble before that.
Publishers don't want books that last 20 years, let alone 200.
If you are using 4.5 then you must turn on your GPS by going to OPTIONS>ADVANCED OPTIONS>GPS>GPS SERVICES>LOCATION ON.
Works with BB maps, may or may not work with google.
You're mainly screwed by the age of the device, just about everything that came out since late 09 has been unrestricted. If it weren't for the expense of the near-mandatory data plan, I'd almost recommend anyone to get a blackberry on VZW over any of their regular phones.
Although VZW is getting a bit better on the regular end, my wife's latest phone actually lets you set recordings as ringtones and copy pictures without hacking. Yes, thinking that is a good thing probably means I have abused-customer-syndrome.

Forgive me if I'm wooshing, but you are looking at a monitor right now?
If you are, watch out, it is projecting light onto your retina.
Except the bit where the resolution is only 428x240.
Even their $400 model is only 640x480.(That's the AR version, the one you linked is for watching Ipod video)
Cheapest?

Don't forget the OpenRD
Same chip, but in a larger form factor to bring out the rest of the connectors: 7 USB, 2 Gb ethernet, VGA, audio, serial, & esata.
It's 250 instead of only 99, though.
They want to be able to screw with the contestants, which sort of requires a self-moving endpoint.
You'd have better luck using PET bottles. Even more so if they are silvered on one side or placed on something reflective.
There is no sales tax unless you are in the same state as Amazon, unlike VAT.
Done singly you could get away without charging VAT, but I imagine customs would notice after awhile.
If you are going for cheap, you can get a USB thermometer for like 9 bucks. I'm sure you can find them locally for a bit more.

As for IR, um...
cheap
not so cheap

Nothing, as long as you use a web proxy in the US for downloading and don't expect the wireless to work on a different cell network.
Apparently you work for a company who only works on one project at a time and only has one team.
If a company isn't partway into its next project by the time the current one project is done, I wouldn't want to work there - too unstable.
I've got a blackberry with focus that actually does better at macro shots then a point&shoot(not saying much there).
Any minority? Cannot resist...

Why would you put the laser on earth and have to deal with the havoc the atmosphere would do to accuracy and spread?
Stick the laser in space, where you can have an enormous collimating lens at a significant distance from the laser if it is still too divergent.
You needn't rely on direct solar energy, you could easily beam power(laser or rectenna) from a larger facility.

They are supposed to be bringing back Dark Sun, but it'd be best to have very low expectations, cause they just want something "gritty".

Oddly enough, no. Do they have their own section or something?
