I doubt security cameras are good as people think. I have the Axis 233D network camera to watch a drug house across the street. Top of the line with a 35x optical zoom. 0.008 candlepower night vision. It can read a license plate and get a great boob shot across the street, but its no movie studio production kit:
I have L7 on dd-wrt, but the torrents start using encryption on port 443 almost immediately. So I block 443, then they start using random ports. Its like a game of whack-a-mole with a large fleet of computers. Try to meter one port and two more pop up. The end result is a computer saturating bandwidth with endless connections over the full range of ports.
Um... puppy mill? Is that a place where they mill puppies, like a grain mill?
If so, it sounds horrific. I hope I never encounter such a place.
Its worse than you think. Imagine a puppy mill with only male dogs. It gets ugly. They can't find new owners, so the job placement counselors encouraged them to "network together."
I heard about the "lack of engineers" a lot in the late 1980's. I went to engineering school and found out schools were turning out engineers like a puppy mill. We graduated in a recession. Looking back, the shortage hype appears to have been "engineered" by educational institutions and sponsoring companies heavily advertising in the media. Don't fall for it, unless you make plans to settle for low paying jobs just to find something interesting.
Wars were also responsible for ARPANET, which is now our internet, which many claim has brought new wealth. The war industry is always coming out with new technology contracts. Its not just bullets and bombs, but the business models it creates. Many are making a killing off the non-killing part. Or something like that.
Wars make more money. The media is all for it and against it. More companies are lobbying for war contracts than space contracts. That's where the money is. We went to the moon and didn't find oil.
Imagine a two hour flight with everyone talking to their hands. Or the ones with blinking blue cockroaches in their ears talking to the seat in front of them. No thanks.
Microsoft wrote free software at least once. It wasn't for charity, it was to kill a company. Internet Explorer was given away to kill Netscape. In their words, "cut off their air supply."
I brought a homemade 250mW laser to work one day. I warned everyone exactly what it could do. What is the FIRST thing each guy did? Try to aim it in each other's faces. True. Lights are like toys and turns people into kids. Get ready to grab it out of their hands.
The Nintendo DS has a nice RSA Protected sticker on the bottom, but that didn't stop me from installing Linux. They can install all the crypto and DRM in the world on a device. Unfortunately for them, they all have processors and they have to start executing machine code from memory. All kinds of ways to flip bits and get into the system. Its like trying to put up a fence at the border. Don't work. Never did.
Hard drive clicks and whirring are always gentle. The only thing worse than noise pollution is light pollution. Leave it to companies like Western Digital to put BLINDINGLY bright blue or white LED's on their external hard drives. They don't flicker with activity, they have a steady blink as if there was a problem. And they stay ON when there is no activity. Completely counterintuitive and designed to annoy. Its worse than the epileptic television news graphics these days. Back in the old days, LEDs had a soft glow. Why do we need freakin laser beams filling up a room when the server is running? Are computer manufacturers in business to punish their users?
I'm looking forward to the day when we all work for and are citizens of Microsoft. No more worries about competition, wars, or being sued for using Linux.
just relocate its servers to the U.S. Due to the differing laws, they will not be able to subpoena IP logs or have any way of getting at the people that post to the site.

That worked several months ago...

I don't know about you, but I went into Engineering for the chicks.
Don't forget the beer. Its the one thing engineering students can count on, before and after graduation.

Wars destroy wealth, and shuffle it around.

NorthWest Airlines DOES have a web address where you can get your luggage back:

I thought it was management that referred to the *employee* operating the unit as a POS.

The problem is, most of the Newspapers just no longer try to report news,
This is a classic symptom of the FOX News Syndrome. It gets bad when it spreads to all media outlets. A community collapses when that happens.

They will justify the millions of dollars they spent for the patent too.

I never needed a reason to use Linux, but its hard to argue with penguins!
You don't become a billionaire by accident and no billionaire wants to answer those questions.
You must not own a domain.
Anyone want to create a step by step guide, howto, or link how to "escape" from a registrar? Is it possible?
Clinton and McCain are like the frat brothers Bush and Kerry. Its a scorecard power players really like.
Aliens are always happy to be taking over the lives others don't want to live. It would make the perfect halloween movie.
You must not remember the old days when people made an honest living.

Sure, just post it to wikileaks.
