Of course, the day I post any praise for them, they stab me in the back and kill my connection. As far as I can tell, I no longer have a Rhapsody account, and cannot access the service that I am paying for.
Maybe you should consider other options after all...
I've been using rhapsody for about 8 months now. I initially signed up due to an ridiculous offer made to my school -- students get unlimited access to the streaming songs for $24 / year. I could not be more satisfied with the product; and I this is coming from someone that hates Real Player. Listening to the music is instantaneous, they have most of the music I look for and have exposed me to MANY new artists that I wasn't aware of, and it's legal. I suggest you check it out if the same offer is available at your school...

Guns are not a reasonable solution for Yo Maing's problem. He/she specifically says "not looking for something that would get someone injured." Guns injure people. Besides, buying a gun and getting proper training just is not an interesting solution to the problem.
If you have one of those, you can set up a tripwire fence of barely visible fishing line around a piece of property so that when somebody or something trips it, a loud alarm goes off with flashing lights. You'll want to go with a non-nylon fishing line though because nylon stretches too much. My dad has used this system while camping in Alaska to ward off grizzlys and he's still alive too!

A similar story was posted last month on slashdot.2 4&tid=198&tid=1

Optware -- the company claiming to have done this a month ago -- has a press release available at:

Is slashdot really the place for tech support? Somebody having problems with their LCD is not "stuff that matters" in my book.

Okay okay okay, too many comments about guns.

If you really want to do a security system on the cheap look into fish alarms like http://www.outdoorsweekly.com/ultrashackfishalarm
If you have one of those, you can set up a tripwire fence of barely visible fishing line around a piece of property so that when somebody or something trips it, a loud alarm goes off with flashing lights. You'll want to go with a non-nylon fishing line though because nylon stretches too much. My dad has used this system while camping in Alaska to ward off grizzlys and he's still alive too!
If $20 is still too much, you can make your own trip-wire circuit: http://www.aaroncake.net/circuits/alarm1.htm
