We use it at the financial company I work at for access control. It is good solid stuff. The only downside is it is not as cool as the movies. Basically it is 2 high resolution black and white camera and a womans voice that says "Look in the mirror" "move back a little" or "move to the left" or "right" and then "access accepted". So no lasers or flashing light. But good solid access control.
People were saying the sameme thing with the orginal Nintendo came out in the mid 80's. PC games at the time were junk and the consoles had ALL the action. Not to mention you also had Sega and the Turbo Graphics 16. Which would you rather play, Police Quest or Bubble Bobble? Course a few years later it flipped back around with "Escape from Castle Wolfenstien 3D".
This is nothing new consoles vs PC, they always swap positions every few years. As for it being XBOX thsi time? No, more likely it was Sony's PS1 or PS2, MS was a little late to the game.
First off I would sit down with your manager and discuss your issues with the other team, try not to be negative. See what they want, maybe they hope you can turn the other team around (doing so would be a big feaather in your cap) or maybe managment doesn't understand how bad the other team is. I guess the important thing is to try and understand both sides and make sure managment understands your posistion. Just remeber if you turn it down they might not offer you another one for a long time if ever.
Course when you realize that 11,900 of the invitations were filtered as spam or junkmail and the only about 1 percent of the people who received will actually join........hope you are friends with Steve Goobie;-)
My wife and I are building a monolithic dome. Basicaly it is about 3-4 nches of rebar reinforced concrete in a rebar reinforced concrete foundation. Should survive for decades easy and probably a couple hundred years at least. Some people don't like the dome look, so maybe you should just go with concrete, has great durability and great thermal mass.
The laws of physics show that semiconducter LED technology can't achieve a better than 25% electrcity to light conversion, which would be under flourecent and about half metal halide. Currently white LED's are about 12% efficient.
White LED lights actually are only as effcient as regular incandecset bulbs. If you are looking to save money you are better off going with CF, if you want effciency go with metal halide.
Just for referance there is no such thing as "Cro-Magnon Man". Cromagnon was a site in France where modern human remains were found. Cromagnon man is simply Homo sapien sapien, my wife is an Anthropologist and jumps all over me when I use the term "Cro-Magnon".
The best method involves getting a bunch of cardboard boxes and throwing your stuff from each room into it and then labeling it with that room's title (kitchen, bedroom, etc). Oh but you said you didn't want to do that, well then shell out the cash, hire movers and quit asking dumb slashdot questions.

Or it could be like Al Capone's secret vault, and have nothing.

I know the attempt is to create a AA for porn addicts but what is to stop this from degrading into some Fundie Porn Swap? Makes you wonder doesn't it.
