Well that works if each house has a Geek. I have reduced the number of "please help" calls I get since I started getting them to use Bittorrent Sync. It works on almost any platform, does multi-way sync, and is as private as you want it. The caveat I found is that if one person deletes something it gets deleted on all. However, there is a settings file for each sync share that can alter that in a variety of ways. The only limit is the amount of storage that is dedicated to the share. Since everyone has a local copy of the files, even connection speed is not a factor.
My thoughts EXACTLY! But I would also include that it has to something you ARE producing not just an idea of something you might produce. You also have to send the working item to the patent office to prove it works. That way if you can't make a go of making it and your company fails. The next guy can figure out how to do it better and win. Just because you can dream up a widget but cant keep a budget, that is not a winning business. That my friends, is what doing business is all about. Getting all aspects of business right.
Frankly you don't have a clue how much is costs to run a business or to buy and ADA compliant lift or build a ramp.
So let take one of your premises, using employees to lift the wheel chair gut up the steps. He weighs 300 pounds. One or both of my employees are taken off the job to come outside to lift him and gets hurt. Now I have a workman's comp claim and 1 to 2 employees off work. They dropped the guy and now I have his medical claims to pay and he is filing suit.
Next I need to build a Ramp. My store front does not have any space between it and the sidewalk that I can encroach on. So I modify my building at a cost of $50K to meet the "needs" of maybe 4 customers, who won't ever buy that much merchandise from me in their lifetime.
So I chop off the end of my steps to put a 4 x 4 foot square lift with the required safety rails and signs. Train my employees how to run it. Have it maintained the required 4 times a year for a first year cost of $48k. BTW a quick survey showed a RESIDENTIAL grade lift is $19k to $25k. That is assuming I can get a good deal on the installation. And again I have to take employees off the job to operate the lift. I now have insurance liability for having and operating the lift.
So the handicapped should go where the businesses will spend the money to accommodate them and leave the small business owner alone. If wheelchair guy lives in a small town with no ADA businesses, then either use the small town friendships he has and get help from his friends or move to the big city where there are ADA ready stores.
If you are healthy you should consider an HSA, Health Savings Account. The basic idea is an umbrella heath insurance plan for the very big stuff, so that it is cheap. Then tie it to a lifetime medical flex-spending account to pay for the small stuff. What you don't spend each year rolls over into the next year. Over time the account grows large enough to cover you when you are older and possibly having more problems. The trick is to start young and avoid unhealthy lifestyles.
I have found that a portable hard drive with an encrypted partition works best. Put DSL in the bootable partition in case I have to work at an untrusted PC. FEBE and gmarks cover the worst of my needs on Firefox. If someone swipes my drive, they don't get my data.
Forgot to mention that there are quadcore laptops on the market.
A CNET NEWS article:
"Xtreme Notebooks has released the first quad-core
laptop in the U.S. With no
mobile quad-core parts in existence, the Xtreme
917V Accelerator turns to desktop CPUs, giving you a choice
between the Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 and the Q6700. Pricing starts at
$3,359."

It is by will alone I set my mind in motion.
It is by the juice of Arabica that thoughts acquire speed, the teeth
acquire stains, the stains become a warning.
Running a server in a VM is handy and cheap. But like you said it isn't
fast and storage becomes constrained. Sounds like your solution is a
second laptop. Make it a moderately beefy laptop and you solve your
speed and main storage problem. It is its own UPS. Make it a ruggedized
laptop and cost go up a bit, but you solve your climate problems. If
more hard drive storage or a backup is needed, plug in a USB drive.
So, there you go. Portable, self contained UPS, weather proof, low
power, expandable via USB.

I have been watching the EV conversion market for a long time. I have
amassed a few quality web sites links for advise on converting a car to
EV and some of them sell the parts. The arguments about moving the
pollution from tail pipe to smoke stack are just arguments. As long as
you don t expect an EV to totally replace an ICE car and want to save
energy and money on your daily commute, an EV is great way to go.
Most EVers have one EV car for the daily drive and one ICE or hybrid
for
longer trips. All of the EVers I have read about get a kick out of
sneeking up on friends with their silent cars and out running sports
cars from a standing start at the light. Electric motors can provide
max torq at any RPM. ICE motors only supply max torq at a very narrow
range of RPMs.
The only reason I don t build one myself is the lack cash
to buy a host car and materials to convert it. If I had the cash, I
would go with an AC based system with nickel metal hydride batteries
and maybe some ultra-caps for enhanced acceleration and
regenerative braking. AC systems do the best job at regenerative
breaking even without ultra-caps. DC systems require special
circuits and the motors requre an extra set of brushes for regenerative
breaking or reverse.
Check out ITSM by Front Range Solutions. It
is a scalable modular package. It was built from the ground
up to be ITLS compliant. It can be customized to meet your needs
however great. There are a number of large enterprises using it, some
on a global scale. It has a famous "little brother" called
Heat. Last time I checked however, Heat was not ITLS compliant, but
nearly so. If you are going to move toward ITLS,
then you should alsoget involved with the Help Desk Institue. The
white papers on best practices and the local chapters can help you
answer the tough questions about what to do. You are not only changing
your software but your IT culture. You need to know what the best
practices are, and how to use them or your IT culture will cause you to
slip back into your old ways like a smoker who tries to quit with out
help. Upper management has to be in lock step with IT and have a "no
shortcuts, no exceptions" policy to get you there. If not,
after the dust settles, you are just left with a very
expensive version of your old system.
Linksys makes a very nice
firewall/router that allows 2 simultanious VPNs. If there are more than 3
sites you could go for a Smoothwall
server using an old PC and 2 nics.
I have and old tape of subliminal suggestions (commercially created). One day, messing around with it in a modded tape recorder, I managed to expose the subliminal message for 1.5 seconds. It was a regular message that was speeded up but pitch changed down to higher audio tones. A bit like something buzzing in your ear but almost understandable. This actually confirmed what the author said in the narration at the beginning of the tape. Oh, the author said that putting a completely audible, normal speed and pitch message at the beginning will increase your conscious mind's acceptance of the subliminal message.
The best sounds for the foreground they said are stereo sounds of the sea or other white noise. I guess if you are a city person not used to hearing the ocean, the noise of a downtown street would work.
The message was 2 sessions of phrases, if spoken normaly would be about 5 minutes each. After taking out space, speeding up and pitch bending down, it played in about 20-30 seconds for each session.
Does it work? Well I used it off and on for a year and beleived I was making changes. Then I tried to use it as sleep learning. 3 hours into it I sat bolt upright and had to go do some work around the house. It was a stop procrastinating tape! Never doubted it worked since. Still get it out sometimes. (not today, maybe later;-) )
I wonder what the people in the ISS are going to do? Does the magnetosphere give them enough protection or do they climb into a lead lined compartment?
Your first mistake is to assume that it is a major bank that issued the credit card. If you open a check cashing store or a pawn shop, you can become a creditcard issuer. Heck, your church could probably do it. Second, there is no such thing as privacy. You can attempt to control access to and the open knowledge of your personal information. To do that, you have to only do business with companies that will agree to play by rules that are aceptable to you. In this cas, she forgot to check the rules before she start to "play their game". Since the mall trols used the system against her, she should use the system against them. As it painfully obvious in the news that people can sue others over things they have no rights to and often times win.
Lesson learned: Go to your bank or Credit Union if you want a credit card.

The sites listed here have complete guides and step-by-step pictures of their examples conversions. The hardest part is understanding how to size the motor you need and the battery pack to run it and where/how to mount the pack. Otherwise anybody that can change a waterpump or alternator can do one of these. It just takes longer and lots of planning.
