like $0.20 per KW/h in California. So that basically means a 7" eeePC<br>
in a cabinet and a simple router to run everything at our space. And<br>
while the key cylinder in our door lock is an older Medeco with<br>
picking vulnerability, we rely on having a neighbor who likes to go<br>
outside and smoke at all hours, plus kicking people's ass that mess<br>
with our door. :)<br>
<br>
One problem with stuff that's too sophisticated is that somebody<br>
invariably has a problem, and due to Hacker Attention Deficit<br>
Disorder (HADD) they immediately rip into it, instead of waiting 10<br>
minutes to see if the network comes back or calling the guy who built<br>
it.<br>
<br>
Am I the only one who has come back to their space to find some<br>
infrastructure item partly disassembled, all of the zip ties cut down,<br>
and a piece of CAT5 going directly into the DSL/cable box? Sometimes<br>
with a note like "Internet was down, so we fixed it?"<br>
