This camera could make a fine inexpensive remote monitor camera. You could place it up in the attic of other furtive location and have it watch the front or back of your house. When you have a break in or other intrusion you will have at least a minimal record of who could be a suspect.
I feel compelled to chime in here. I studied Superconducting Electronics for a while as an EE grad student. The biggest issue was making memory out of superconductors of any reasonable density. Since we had so little memory, around 4K?, the efforts were concentrated on doing Digital Signal Processing. These operations do not require vast amounts of memory and are generally useful for real time digital signal filtering. Once the memory issue is resolved, I expect to see greater use of these processors for generic computing.
Incidently, a Josephson junction looks like this..
S I S (where S is a superconductor and I is an Insulator. The resulting junction provides non linear behavior and can act as an amplifier ala a funky transistor.
There was the return of a probe which used a dangerous drive engine. I think they called it the Quella or Qwella drive. They ended up turning it around to point at some enemy to destroy them. Even included wavy camera effects.
Have you ever read Brook's paper entitled the Mythical Man Month? I doubt you have since this suggestion is certain to prolong the time to completion.
*Who says CS is a waste of time?*
It will be increasingly more difficult to manage the distribution configuration as it's size grows. Anyone who works in software development knows this. This is not suprising.
Right, but why not use something like wxWindows? You can make the case that this would definately leverage your investment in a framework across different platforms. MFC is not an issue then.
I have been using Visual C++ for years and have never needed to use MFC for anything. Granted I don't code user interface stuff... but please.
With STL there to help out I see no need at all for MFC. If you use it, you deserve the headache of portability problems.
I could care less what RMS says on this topic. He does not do my thinking for me. He shouldn't do your thinking for you! Celebrities in general continually irritate me with their uninteresting drivel.
We had a room full of NeXT machines in one of our Electrical Engineering labs at University of Rochester back in 1990-91. They were head and shoulders better than the Sun workstations for our purposes. It had a nice Motorola integer DSP built right into it. You could do some pretty cool real time DSP if you were willing to code in assembler. Even the accessories were superb, it came with a 400 dpi laser printer that absolutely everyone in the department printed to for their graphics. You could definately tell the difference when printing out 3D time vs frequency plots as I was doing for my Masters work. Blew away 300 dpi and MacLaser.
Frankly.. If I had known about IRC and had a client for it on the NeXT, I would have surely flunked out of school:)
We have also found Dialogic to be a less than ideal solution. This is especially true of their GammaLink product line. The tech support is marginal at best and now it cost you a ton of $$$ like 10K. So if you buy a card and can;t get it working, there is no way to talk to anyone until you fork over tech support ransom. While, I'm on my rant, their documentation is rather dissapointing. For one thing, they demonstrate everything as C state machine examples. Hey Dialogic, ever heard of multithreaded C++ applications? For another thing the help file , is loaded with MOTO comments (Masters of the obvious) with very little in the way of explaination or insight. I mean I can read the header file and get as little info as they provide about programming their API.

Indeed, the voice calling feature is better than MS's. I think the Yahoo product definately has some legs to it.
I don't know about you all, but I might just have some spare web space to post my own "obscene" website about said police department.
Just a thought.
And I don't live within the confines of their little juristiction... tee hee hee

Are you completely retarded? What an off the wall economic analysis.
Have you any idea about OIL prices over the last year? Check it out.

ROFLMAO... I loved that episode :)
Thanks for the memories..... steamed hams..haha

I just chuckled to myself about how I came up with that nickname when they can up with OpenServer. I know... it's early here.

FYI, The founder of 3COM invented Ehternet while working at Xerox PARC.
Have you heard of the C++ Standard Library and at least strtok()?
