I have never used one, but one of those RCA Lyra may work. They have a composite video in and a recording mode. They record to MPEG-4, however, but you do get up to 80 hours of recorded video.
Use your current camera and hook the AV outputs into the Lyra. Its not DV, but that's what VirtualDub is for.
I've also got a box of about 1500 blank floppies that I got in the mid 90s when they were cool.
You should open a bar. You've already got 1500 coasters.
Apparently the "piece of string" has been patented also. Everyone who tied a piece of string to their finger to remind them of something should be hearing from the lawyers soon!
They're already trying. The scumbags at AccuWeather and Weather Channel, Inc. have bought themselves a senator to push their agenda. They feel exactly as the ACS does, and why? They can make more money by prohibiting the NWS from releasing weather information. They will still be allowed to release emergency information. Ummm, don't you need the regular weather to know when its gonna get nasty? For more information about how Sen. Rick Santorum has been bought by the weather corporations, read here. http://www.chicagotribune.com/technology/chi-05062 00226jun20,1,5138022.story?coll=chi-technology-hed
You say that you should get a job that is going to challenge you. I definitely agree. I had 2 semesters left to have a degree in CS from Montana State. One fine Montana spring day (high of 2 degrees), I realized I was going to be stuck inside arguing with a machine for the rest of my life.
At the end of the semester, I left college, went to paramedic school and the fire academy, and became a career firefighter. I work 10 days a month, 24 hour shifts, play with fire, work is exciting, and I get to run red lights.
Best decision I ever made...walking down the path to happiness.
Our wedding photog had a similar arrangement as above. He shot the pictures, if there were some he really liked, he wanted copies for his display stuff, but the negatives were ours. His paperwork was very thorough including receipt of payment, copyright release, and contact information to reach him. The copyright info even says in big letters "POSSESOR HAS ALL COPYRIGHT TO THESE PHOTOS!" Seems he's been through this before.
Apparently, the teenage clerk at Walgreens is not only illiterate, but a little power hungry. My wife dropped off our negative to get copies made. A ton of them. The first printing for all of our friends and family. She spoke with an older clerk when she dropped them off. Yeah no problem we'll take extra special care of them.
Fast forward 7 hours. She goes to pick up the pictures. A whole box of stuff. This pinhead twit teenager sees the word "COPYRIGHT" on the paperwork, tells my wife not only can she not have the pictures (about 100 pics printed), but has the gall to say "You can't have the negatives back either. We can only release them to the owner. These are stolen as far as we know."
Only after getting the manager of the store involved did she get the negatives back, with 50% off her photos, and we never did see the snotty little brat in there again.
Point being, some people in the world need to exercise power in their own little corner of humanity. It makes them feel good. That's essentially what the young clerk did. Now she can exercise her power at the McDonalds drive thru instead.
While so many are quick to point out that he used an unpatched machine, that he should know better, that he's just doing it to be difficult, that he can fix it. He know's he should install SP2, he knows he should have his firewall set up. He knows he should practice safe surfing....but my mom doesn't know this stuff.
For every computer whiz (like most of us that visit/.), there's a thousand users like my mom who know that you turn on the box, move the little mouse around, and she can type emails to the whole family every day. Then she surfs around on the internet, types something in wrong, clicks on the wrong site, and now can't send the emails to the family and can't order my Christmas presents from Amazon.
Spyware is a pain in the ass for us, but its a nightmare for the computer novices!
What do you stand to gain or lose whether the network status is reported or not?
AND, since you don't want anyone to see what you are doing, no matter how trivial, what are you hiding? Come on in, have a look in my life, nothing of interest for anyone but me. Then again, I'm not a terrorist.

Oh for pete's sake...
I was JOKING. Do you really think I think a building could turn into a puddle?
What happens if you drop it in the middle of a monsoon? Do you wind up with a large puddle of building?
Field hospitals??? Please...wait until Wal-Mart gets ahold of this stuff. There will be a SuperCenter every 10 miles.
Like it'll make a difference...
