I designed this motion sensing wireless alarm for controlling varmints. This works great on raccoons, possums , squirrels, birds and any other warm blooded pests. It uses an IR motion sensor along with a microcontroller that controls the transmitter. I can be in the house doing whatever and when the alarm goes off I go outside and take care of business.

In the UK we associate electric fences with preventing cattle from straying, but in South Africa, with its high crime rate, you’ll see electric fences round almost 50% of private properties. At this year’s IFSEC security exhibition at the National Exhibition Centre (NEC) in Birmingham, UK, the leading South African electric fencing company Nemtek displayed their products and explained why they thought they might catch on in other countries too. The first argument is visibility. Would-be intruders who might try and circumvent a burglar alarm will think twice about tackling a perimeter fence that could give them a painful high-voltage electric shock. Another factor that’s particularly relevant if you have a large property, and parts of the perimeter fence are out of public view, is that if someone tries to break through, anywhere on the circuit, an alarm will ring. So not only does the intruder get a shock but the householder knows he’s there. The electric shock is unpleasant but not life-threatening. Nemtek’s products are safety-tested and subject to rigorous regulations.

I’m seriously sick of Windows, especially after the latest round of updates killed my internet connection. That’s just one problem among many… so I’m done.

I have never installed nor used Linux before, but I hear it’s better and safer than Windows. I have an Acer laptop I want to install it on, but I have some questions first.

What’s the easiest (and preferably smallest) version to get? I know that no version is exactly ‘easy’, but I’ve only ever used Windows, so the most simple one is probably best for me.

Obviously I’ve never installed something like this before, so can anyone tell me what all to expect or do? Like if certain drivers don’t work, how do I fix it? I’ve fixed drivers before, but it was always with the Windows disks that came with the comp….. does Linux run okay with most drivers and whatnot?

I know I can get drivers from acer.com, but the ones for my comp say Windows under the OS title…. so will downloading those and installing them do anything at all if Linux couldn’t run them in the first place?

Also, do you need to run a firewall and anti-virus on Linux? I’ve read conflicting answers on other websites, so I have no idea. Would Zone Alarm or AVG even work on Linux? What about other windows only programs? Is there a free program to make them work on Linux?

If, in the end, I completely mess up the comp (or simply can’t get used to Linux) can I reinstall Vista and have the computer as it was before I messed around with it? I know about the live CD’s for trying things out, but knowing my luck everything will run fine until it’s actually installed.

Sadly that’s happened to me before with other things, so I can’t rule it out lol

My laptop:
Aspire 5610-2762
CPU : Pentium M T2080 (1.73GHz / 1M)
LCD : 15.4" WXGA Acer CrystalBrite
MEMORY : 2GB DDR2
HDD : 160GB
ODD : DVD Super Multi Double Layer
Modem : 56K
LAN : 10/100 Base T
Wireless LAN : 802.11b/g
Softload : Windows Vista Home Premium

Any and all help is appreciated… and feel free to talk to me as if I’m a 3 year old, lol that’s probably the best way for me to understand any of this ;o)

The chief engineer on the Deepwater Horizon tells a government panel that warning systems on the drilling rig were inhibited because the crew did not want to be disturbed in the middle of the night. (July 23)

Port 0 on my computer keeps getting pinged. Zone alarm says the IP address is 192.168.1.1 which is the default for the linksys wireless G I am using. I have been using the router for months and this has never happened until this morning and now it has happened at least 15 to 20 times. Does anyone know what would cause this or why? The router is shared with one other person/computer and we are set up in a network. Could this be spywear or is the router just acting up? This got anoying so I pulled the plug on my home computers network conection and will deal with it when I get home.

no comment , see by yourself
