I know this is not DIY, but I recently had this problem and it cost me $130 to solve it.
I use the Asante Smartbot camera connected via WiFi. I easily set it up to email any suspicious activity to my GMail account.
This is a WIndows solution (Gasp!)
I live between Mt. Adams and Mt Hood. If you look around the area there are many extensive lava beds and lava tubes. The walls of the Columbia Gorge consist of multiple 50 ft. thick lava layers - just saying. IANAG
I have the answer to all their problems.
I must give then a call. Say a command.
Name Dial. Repeat the command.
Name Dial. No match found.
Oh well perhaps some other time.
When I attended school the masters at my English grammar school were people who had gone into professions following WWII. They had reached a point in their lives where going into teaching was a welcome lifestyle change after successful careers.
This generation of teachers were the best there ever was. They were replaced by a generation of teachers which went to teaching colleges and then straight back into teaching - and were a disaster. I believe a similar thing happened in the US following the GI Bill.
My English teacher studied under J.R.R.Tolkien, my Math teacher worked on the British equivalent of the Titan missile program, my Physics teacher worked on the world's first commercial nuclear reactor at Windscale.
Don't make the same mistake. It would be far better to give free education and then encourage older professionals to switch to teaching.
The post war change in belief patterns in Europe (towards Atheism) must border on the miraculous if this article's claim of a genetic basis to belief is to be credited. Such rapid genetic change is unprecedented.
Another case of "America = The whole world".
The real problem is that everyone thinks that software development is an engineering discipline (or should be). It is not. It is like trying to engineer a living organism. The spec evolves, the solution evolves, the tools change, the programmers move on and get replaced - and if you are lucky enough to get a working system the company gets bought out and the new company wants it all done again with Linux.
If you were using engineering to produce the human eye you would currently be about 5 billion years behind schedule.
I am currently working on a large VB6 project (200+ forms)which was converted to VB.Net.
The.Net version of VB is nothing like VB6 it is essentially just Java/C# with a different syntax. The.Net framework is very powerful and VB.Net is a full partner.
Our policy is to write new code in C# but to leave existing code unchanged. This appears to be a valid approach.
We considered using a.Net decompiler to convert the original
code to C#. Unfortunately, this produced too many issues to resolve in the time available. My understanding is that specialized converters can convert about 90% of the code automatically.
Our big issue is not with the language - any programmer worth his/her salt can soon adapt - it is with the Visual Studio 2005 environment.
We find VS buggy and unusably slow. We typically exit to Textpad to perform any extensive editing. The VS editor allows you to type half a line before the background parser kicks in and locks the keyboard for 20 seconds or more. Simple operations like Find/Replace are faulty for some replacements. I suspect that VS internally holds the source in some syntax tree and that some replacements are incorrectly structured.
Access to Intellisense and the the Help system are unbearably slow. On a 1.8GHz computer with 1GB of ram it takes over a minute for a help page to appear.
Save the data in XML and save the format in XML Schema and/or Relax NG. Please send your check for $308M to synesis... Seriously, for $308M what hairbrained scheme is Lockheed going to dream up to justify the price tag.
Just this morning I had a conversation about who was pulling the strings about traffic light timing. There was national and local television coverage with an obvious tie between them. Cynically, I said that maybe business must be low for some Traffic Light manufacturer. Also, just try a Google search for "Traffic Light Timing" and see how many articles originated today. This is an outright media blitz.
In a shock news release today Microsoft annmounced that you will no longer be able to distinguish between Beta and Production software. This follows a long period of de facto....
We have a statement "code is design" (which I agree with) and a response from the old guard. Requiremnts, Design, Code, Test. Neither side quite capture the problem. Evolutionary development is the ONLY way. Start small, prototype all aspects of the problem, incorporate improvements in understanding - repeat. Tom Gilb has been saying this for twenty years now. The monolithic design, code, test has so many failures attributed to it, I am amazed that anyone would still use it. At least when the Tacoma Narrows bridge collapsed engineers changed the way they design bridges - software engineers still proudly proclaim that they use the "Tacoma Method". Part of the problem is that we are still developing systems based on 19th organizational princples. The "Designer" who is above mere mortals and is able to forsee all and every problem. The minions who are supposed to code in the way that Ford workers were supposed to build cars - with perfect ignorance. Get real!
I am appalled that nearly everyone here buys into the necessity for advertising. For millennia the human race managed perfectly well without it. Mass advertising is a recent phenomenon, and hopefully a short lived one. Block everything and hopefully the advertisers will all starve. Hundreds of thousands of people could be starting new, productive lives as telephone sanitizers. Things got done before advertising - they will after it stops.
I was getting nostalgic for the BSOD until I started using Firefox (3 times now). Probably something in the graphics driver which in Doze collapses the whole house of cards. Doesn't seem to have a common cause or I would have reported it. With BSOD the feedback agent doesn't get a chance to report so this may be more common than Mozilla.org(?) thinks.
This stuff is old. I attended a freshman course in differential calculus in 1972 at King's College in London given by Professor Kilmister. He developed a set of non-linear equations describing traffic flow. The equations showed the build up of jams and demonstated wave-like behaviour.

Sorry, and Apple also.

1. Remove Caps key.
2. Add drop of super glue.
3. QUICKLY REPLACE KEY.
4. OH CRAP!

You may not have noticed, but ad's are largely synchronized across channels. What does switching buy you?

Somehow I see Apple as being a willing participant: Article
Around 7,000 years ago (I think) an undersea landslide sent a 150 ft high wave from Norway across the North Sea into Scotland. Still feel that safe?
No, just make it illegal to pay spammers for their efforts.

Think of the ultimate end to currently known technology:
Every person with an implanted RFID chip.
Every person with their DNA on record.
Were on our way.
The justification will be crime/terrorism prevention. McNealy may be correct.
