I'm betting it's waiting for a helicopter to fly past.

Elect more females to Congress and the various legislatures of the states.

Thanks, picked up the Chinatown Wars. :)

Appreciated. I'm not really fond of the idea of that many USB tuner sticks, though; I suspect they're using a bit more integrated system here, especially with 30 in what looks like a half-1U sized box.

I'm not familiar with any tuners that can record multiple channels at once the way this can. Recording the last 30 days in a wrap-around fashion would be pretty nice.

Well, for the hospital and bloodwork lab, they have those red "if you park here we'll blow up your car and feed you to a woodchipper" zones, and I have to go in and get her... it takes a good ten minutes to find her and get her ready to go, not counting the walking time.

My grandmother is elderly and can't walk any sort of distance, really, but refuses to use a wheelchair.

The poison isn't the part that makes this work, it's the radioactive substance and its detection.

I've never researched it, but I do recall them mentioning the drills doing this when they were trying to cap the BP Gulf oil spill. Maybe that'll help your search?
