You're looking for quality, so go with brands that are known for making cameras. Mustek makes various tech toys, so I they would not be at the top of my list.
And as for the "... is a complete nerd.": Think where you're posting.
Part of this control manefests itself by giving the One a strong connection to humanity. In Neo's case, it was more specific - to one person, Trinity. Because of Neo's strong connection to her, he wasn't going to say 'fuck you' to the Architect and blow the whole place up. Blowing the whole place up would lead to the death of everyone in the matrix, and coupled with the destruction of Zion would lead to the extinction of the human race.
You've got it turned sideways here. The One is given a strong connection to humanity, to help influence his choice. The choice is either a) return to the core, thus somehow rebalancing or resetting the matrix, following which he would choose 23 people to rebuild Zion. or b) Not return to the core, in which case the unbalanced equation would supposedly bring the Matrix tumbling down, killing every human connected to it. The idea was that the connection to humanity would pressure The One to save the vast portion of humanity, instead of the select few in Zion. Neo choose the few in Zion.
The plugin mentioned in the article on 3D sound from 2 speakers is not at the website in the article. Big surprise there, as the article is from '99. Try http://www.wavearts.com instead. Oh, and it's no longer free. 14 day fully functional trial, or $9.95 USD to purchase
And in fact you have done it, and told us about it. You checked into the reviewers background. You found information that leads you to decide not to trust her. End of story.
The webpage says 20,000 but the decals claim 1,000,000...
If you click on that image, you get a close up. At that level, you can see the word "soon" in parentheses.
Also, if look to their menu at the top of the page, and follow the Million Book Project link, they mention how they're hoping to achieve one million books (mua ha ha) by 2005.
In order to more effectively construct/design solutions, we would need more specific information what your friend is/is not able to do, as well as info about her environment as it currently stands. For example, does she have any kind of locomotive capabilities? ie: touch-sensitive, joystick-controlled wheelchair. Does she have any pets, either trained for disabled or otherwise? Are there tight climate controls on her environment, or do they fluctuate as any normal household would?
Any of us can rig a noise-maker. Not hard at all. The trick is how to trigger it. If her range of autonomus motion is exactly as you have specified, then I would recommend looking for switches that can be controlled by factors that she has direct control of, without depending on motor neurons. ie: completing the connection through sweat, biofeedback, heart-rate monitor, body temp, etc. If she has some kind of around-the-house mobility, then you could also look into devices such as sensitivity plates, IR beams, good-old-fashioned trip-wires, etc that she could roll across, break, or otherwise force the circuit. If pets exist, precautions may need to be made to ensure they don't trip the system.
If necessary, you could relay other circuits in the house to generate more attention getting actions. ie: turning on the lights, radio, tv, etc. However, the wiring for such a project may be cost-prohibitive.
...there's nothing out there to compete with their desktop software.
Not entirely true. Linux is not the only alternative to Microsoft. Apple springs to mind. Yes, there will be significant costs associated with change. That is unavoidable, and almost certainly already discussed by the Norwegian officals who made this decision.
On a related note, it is not said that they are leaving Microsoft entirely, but that their exclusive contract is at an end. It is entirely possible that may try to negotiate a new, non-exclusive contract with Microsoft. DisclaimerI can't read Norwegian, so I may be missing relevant data.

22 episodes, plus 2 hours of pilot episode. The pilot is typically broken into parts 1 and 2, thus giving 24 episodes.

Good luck in your search.
