Comment My 1996 Chrysler had this feature. (Score 1) 572

An easter egg in the O2 sensor at 120,000 miles allowed my car to take full advantage of sudden engine turn off at low RPMs, while idling at stop lights and making the occasional left turn. The bonus round involved finding someone to turn the key while I beat on the starter with a jack handle to get the engine to turn over every 10 starts.

Submission + - How to protect a home when away in winter?

kidMike writes: I just accepted a new job in another state, requiring me to relocate. I'm going to keep my house in New England. As I watch the winter storm problems and electrical outages across the country, how do Slashdotters protect their houses (or cabins?) when they're away in the winter? Is there a device that will call me if the temp in the house drops below a certain level? How about a broken pipe flooding the house? How can I keep advised of problems happening hundreds of miles away? (There will still be broadband at the house.)
