No comparison. Going 70-75mph instead of 65 is no great stretch and doesn't change situation on road much. How does texting compare to a 10mph bump? I don't see your logic.

You would need a 24ga shotgun.

This is my take...public cameras are fine as long as the public has access. And...if you are putting up cameras they need to be "the right kind" (enough mpixels for forensics) and archived for a decent period of time. I only mention this 2nd fact after hearing that San Francisco's cameras aren't high-res nor are being archived (due to lack of $$ apparently).

What about xul (xml, css, js)?

C'mon man...who do you think proposed the bill? Not the congressman...rather a lobbyist for business who's in his pocket.

I'm doing same as you. An N800 as remote for MythTV, XBMC, etc. and trying to use PP3 for custom IR stuff. The N800 is also great for custom web pages to control sprinklers, lighting and security system. The PP3 I think has the most potential due to builtin CIR (a/v infrared). I wish they'd put CIR on more devices. Why do you need higher resolution than what's on N800 or PP3 if you're using them as "dumb" remotes though?

Spend as much time as you can on your current job trying to improve your skill set in valuable areas and this will improve your lot at current employ in addition to making you stronger for your next gig. Read and do as much technical stuff offline from your job as you can (setup linux, dns, etc.). You may find that your lot at your current gig has improved and you don't need to leave. Then again it may be time to go and you'll be in a better position to do it.
