    Anyone make a combined Carbon Monoxide & Heat alarm?

    Evening all, wondered if anyone's come across a combined unit to do both functions - I thought Ei did but now think I'm mistaken. It's not a show stopper, but it would make for a much less cluttered ceiling! Cheers, R.

    This is amazingly accurate. I thought that Google Earth was impressive, but this is even more precise. It is a little disconcerting to know that they can find you anywhere, but check it out. This technology uses your IP address and can find the exact location of any Internet user in...
