Re: Hillary Clinton Plan for Gun Restrictions

Since democrates are so passionate about gun control and conservatives are adamant in there opposition, I think a bipartisan solution is needed. I think the government should enact a law to make it illegal for democrates to own firearms. Democrates should support it because it will disarm half the p...

Re: The Eric Garner case

This use of "law enforcement" resources is so absurd it beggars description. Even if he was selling cigs untaxed by NYC, and no proof has been offered that he did, the amount of revenue expended in this operation is far in excess of any taxes they could have ever collected from this selle...

If the kid was in danger, I would shoot the cat. In time critical situations, warning shots waste time.

Re: 80 yo CA man shoots fleeing pregnant woman after robbery

Based on what the papers have printed, which is always questionable, my sympathy is with the shooter. When they break into your home, steal your stuff, attack you and try to kill you, they deserve whatever happens to them. The law out in Californiastan may say different, but if I was on the jury it ...

Re: Greatwolf water park

It's a lot more fun in winter, when there's actually a cool reason to go to an indoor water park as opposed to all the outdoor ones all over the state. :iagree: I took my wife, son and youngest granddaughter right after christmas and everyone had a good time. The 8 year old especially. Gramps spent...

Re: Security Cameras For Outside

Regarding the security issue of risking exposing your video data to neighbors by sending the signal through your home's power grid, how far from your home will that signal carry without degradation? Just a couple of neighbors, or can they read it down at City Hall if they know what their looking fo...

Re: Security Cameras For Outside

Of course, there are wireless security protocols in place. For ip over 120 vac? Who knows? I'm not trying to be argumentative, just pointing out that there are risks to data in any system. It seems to me, however, since wireless transmission is several orders of magnitude more common than power lin...

Re: Security Cameras For Outside

Now, consider that when you put your signal into the electric outlet in your computer room and take it out in your tv room, it probably traveled all the way back to your breaker box and made the turn, but there is nothing stopping it from going out your service drop and into neighbors' houses, exce...

Re: Security Cameras For Outside

TAM, What you are missing is the 2 adapters in the system. The Ethernet cable from the camera plugs into an adapter that in turn plugs into a outlet. This adapter provided the power to the Ethernet that you are familiar with. It also converts the signal from the camera into a high frequency signal a...
