Without knowing what the OP means by affordable it's really hard to give suggestions. I've got multiple GrandStream cameras running on a ZoneMinder system. The cameras support 1920x1080, night vision with the IR LED's built-in, Power over Ethernet. I've used analog cameras plugged into a BlueCherry capture card. Resolution was low, night vision was OK (but not as good as the GrandStream), had to string the signal cable and power cable to the cams. Overall I like the new setup a lot more.
Grandstream does require DirectX to view the stream through their web interface but I've never used it. I only use the web interface to set resolution, frame rate and other setttings. All the motion detection is done in ZoneMinder. When I want to view what the camera is seeing I either use ZoneMinder or vlc directly to the RTSP feed.
History has shown that the human leg is an often untapped behemoth of energy, having in the past powered generators, submarines and, of course, deep space hair dryers aboard Red Dwarf.
Next thing you know they'll be reporting that Lister has been hired to peddle the thing around London. They tried to hire Cat but he was afraid being outside in the summer heat and humidity would ruin his fantastically perfect hairdo.
The fact that the military has had containers hosting communications, power production and AC equipment for decades. All of them transportable by air, land or sea. I worked in just such a box in Saudi Arabia in 1986, and that thing was probably 20 years old then.
But of course all these companies are the great innovators. Didn't MS invent them internets for us?

Not that I agree 100% with the "social darwinism" here, but since the parents are the stupid ones, it would stand to reason that their children inherited their intelligence. So the original idea still works, just delayed by one generation.
The military has been building and using that concept for decades. Portable satellite ground stations, portable phone switches, portable power generation, portable communication centers, portable damned near anything else you can think of that would be needed in a theater of operation. All built in a container like structure for easy transportation via land, sea and/or air.
I worked in one such container that housed a full Digital Subscriber Terminal Equipment (DSTE) suite with a second container of backup equipment while Saudi Arabia in 1986. (oops, that really showed my age.)
The new marklar will not only mean all our marklar's are obsolete, but our marklar's will actually cease to function as well. Marklar told marklar personally that a new marklar is in developement. Should the marklar come to be, a new marklar will be issued to each marklar so other marklar's can tell a marklar from a marklar. Don't you marklars get it?
What the hell is a "licensed device"? Are you actually saying I need to buy a license for a CD-ROM drive in my computer, and another for the DVD player that's plugged into my TV? (After all it can play audio CD's) And yet a third license for the CD player in my truck?
I've never heard of any licensing requirement for a device that can play an audio CD.
This would even allow individual vehicles to be monitored without any danger of losing them as they move from one ground level CCTV system to another.
Right up until the bad guys in the car they're watching drives into a parking garage. Or they park at a mall, walk inside and change clothes before exiting to escape in a different vehicle.
The real question here is: Can we get them to stream images from the back yard patio where Jessica Alba is sunbathing nude???
Go for it, but since they likely don't have a space suit that will properly fit, you get to fly in only regular clothes. Don't worry though, pressure leaks hardly ever happen.
So if I were to time-travel back to lets say February or March of 1955, kidnap Bill Gates' mom and force her to have an abortion:
Would I effectively prevent MS from ever existing.
Therefore the PC we know today would not exist.
Therefore the Internet we know today would not exist.
Therefore Google would not exist.
Therefore spam would not exist.
With the exception of Google not existing that doesn't sound so bad. Damn I need to get back to work on that flux-capacitor QUICK!
Talk about proprietary, I've never even heard of a 3.25" floppy drive.
3.5"? Sure, worked on lots of those.
5.25"? Same thing
8.5"? Yep, had two installed in a comm terminal connected to AUTODIN back in my USAF days.

Probaly not so well, but if they http://science.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/11/02/1447228 genetically modify them like the mice in today's news it might not matter. Sooner or later we'll be able to:

Yep, DSTE was still around in '86, at least at Operation Elf One in Riyadh. I was there TDY from Buckley ANGB, where we had a fairly new SRT install.

Well after 25 years of government service, military and contractor, I think I'm entitled to a sense of humor when it comes to working for Uncle Sam.
Maybe you should try to get one too!
HAH!! I doubt you could even get a cockroach to stoop so low as to working for our Uncle Sammy in DC!! Cockroaches have higher standards!

Uh, maybe it's painfully obvious, but Hiroshima and Nagasaki had nothing to do with nuclear power production. Nice spin!

Can't understand how that article fails to mention current shows. SciFi Channel's Eureka is good geek TV fare and damned funny.
And there's always Doctor Who, reruns of old shows and the new shows are great.
It's about as stupid as getting on a plane and waiting until after takeoff to loudly greet your friend in the seat next to you.
Hi Jack!
Go for it, but since they likely don't have a space suit that will properly fit, you get to fly in only regular clothes. Don't worry though, pressure leaks hardly ever happen.
Careful there, some folks will think you're nothing but a dirty thief, stealing those articles without viewing the inane ads that go along with them.

Had I said it doesn't exist maybe your reply would make more sense.
A poll? What's the point of that???
5% of us would vote randomly
6% will definitely be stuffing the ballot box
7% Might be stuffing the ballot box
Or worse yet:
17% will choose the Cowboy Neal option
