  1. Re:Give me a break on Declassified LBJ Tapes Accuse Richard Nixon of Treason · · Score: 1

    Your review of Catcher in the Rye reprises some of my reasons for asking the coward to read something other than chomsky.

    By the way, those 'outdated' themes and such still get that book banned in various U.S. schools.

  7. Less Ron Paul, More Les Paul on Ron Paul Asks UN For Help Geting Control of RonPaul.com Domain From Fans · · Score: 1

    Ron Paul is not a capitalist, he is a politician.
    It can be fun watching him stir the pot but never forget he stirs the pot for his own political aims.

  9. Record and use ZoneMinder set to 'Modect' on Ask Slashdot: Open-Source Forensic Surveillance Analysis Software? · · Score: 1

    I use ZoneMinder with most cameras set to 'Modect' so video is saved only when motion meeting my criteria has been detected.
    ZoneMinder presents an array displaying the number of events recorded by each camera in the last hour, day, week and month.
    If you also kept your 24/7 recordings you could use the ZoneMinder events to pinpoint where/when to go look in your video archive.
