Last Chance -- Free Beer in Iowa on Sunday!

A friend of mine bought this one from the X10 folks (the ones with all the
popup ad's everywhere). It costed him about $100 with a few add-ons. It
plugs directly into and ethernet jack and has its own ip. I don't think it
has a builtin webserver, but it might. But with IIS on a Win2k machine (or
better), this would be fairly easy to setup...

Check them out. they have several options and pretty good quality
camera's.....if you can get past their marketing strategy.

Did I just say "it *costed* him"? My rural Tennessee education must be
catching up with me....

Look at www.apple.com and follow the links to the iSight camera and
software. I am wondering if this would serve the purpose?

Nope. Not a cam to connect to a computer for chatting or other stuff. A
standalone camera with Ethernet interface, optional 802.11b, built-in
server. Just like the Axis cam or some others.

24 "Deceptions" In 704 words: Bush's 2003 SOTU
http://www.buzzflash.com/contributor...7/22_sotu.html

What would you do if you became aware that one of the airmen who
imbibed your free beer, departed before 8 hours had elapsed, and
subsequently generated an NTSB report?

Reckon Jay'd scratch his head and wonder why someone who'd done all the work to
become a pilot would commit such egregious foolishness. You really are a
****head, Larry.

I snipped the rest G. Poor Larry. He's had a bad few days

I'm still running with Larry on this one :-)

People, put down the complimentary chips and back away from the free dip, Do
you want to lose your medicals? Heart attack in-flight?

McDonald's can weather the Big Fat legal storm (for now), can Jay? I don't
think so.

[One Scenario]
NTSB investigators have released preliminary findings: Possible in-flight
heart burn may have caused the pilot to run out of fuel, stall, spin, and
crash ...during the thunderstorm. Other contributing factors: greasy food
stains were found on the yoke, the radio and the door handles. No nacho
chips could be found at the crash scene.

The first post crash lawsuit has already been filed in Iowa District Court,
naming: The Alexis Park Inn, Weber Grill Company, Lloyd's Barbecue sauce,
and Frito-Lay as ....
