I built the QW Home Automation system. http://qwhomeautomation.com/ The system is proprietary but completely free. Currently it supports Insteon devices only. My approach is to solve fundamental problems and build a solid infrastructure and make steady progresses. You can check out the status of my current release on my website. The documentation is pretty comprehensive. In this month, a new version will be released to only allow encrypted communication. The SSL session will be used primarily for commissioning, to exchange a per user based AES 256 key as shared secret. An AES-GCM based encryption will be used by android client for better efficiency. Because SSL is blocked by some regimes such as China, my AES based session can get around it. Lua jit support will be added in August. By then the system will have pretty advanced architecture. The a Zigbee coordinator will be added, that will feature up to over 6,5000 devices in network, each with unique random APS level link key for true end to end encryption. If you know what I'm talking about you should nobody has done it yet. As a technologist I am pissed by the fact that in this world nothing works. I don't give a shit about those web 2.0 my ass or cloud computing or countless buzz words while their systems still suffering blocking gethostbyname system API that occasionally freezes randomly because of it. I am building a system that every single thread of mine is deterministic and under control at any giving time.

To solve the gang problem, I don't see any solution other than physical extermination. Given Chinese executing more than half of the death penalties in the world, Mexicans would need an even big quota. I can't imagine how it could happen. Democracy is not the problem. Fake democracy is. I would rather be ruled by Chinese capitalist government than your mafia government. You can't demand to live in paradise. So it's most likely either or scenario. Talking is cheap. Do you really believe there is a solution to the gang problem? Well I can guarantee you if the same thing happens in China, army will be sent over there. First batch of 100 gangs will be tried and executed with machine gun in weeks. If there is still problem there will be second batch, third batch until the mess is cleaned. We don't have a quota of the maximum death panelties per year. We will kill as many sons of bitches as necessary.
