I wanted 200m away so bad I was blinded.
Okay, at least I get 10m, right?

Yeah, but...
The laser shows the centre of a "cone" of monitoring, so it's accurate at short distances but "averages" temperatures over longer ones. The laser doesn't have anything took do with the actual temperature monitoring, it just provides a visual indicator of the target.
So at a foot you can get a circle of an inch of so, but at 10m? The circle will be quite wide.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

As the specs point out, and admirably don't try to hide, there's a 16:1 ratio of distance:measure-spot.
I don't know it's actual operations, but the lasers are only for targeting. It's almost certainly measuring IR emissions from the target area. The columnating optics just aren't the greatest. If you did have your 200m reach (in a sense you do if it is IR radiance) then the spot size would be 12.5m - a bit bigger than your car (I think?) and you'd be averaging in a mass amount of background emissions. The note that it "averages" is just a nice way of spinning of that it's not a pinpoint measurement. For my windows, I stood close.
They also give a little chart about emissivity for various materials. That would take into account the black-body characteristics of the materials. My version just said it's not accurate on certain types of materials. Remember: it's IR not visible light that it's measuring. Your view of the color (glass) and it's perspective will only occasional coincide.
Since you're rolling in cash, you could get an IR imaging system so you can get a 2D view of an area. Particular good for knowing if your woman's 'really in the mood'.

You can get out and start pointing it cars that drive by and see if they slow down.
it ain’t broke, it doesn’t have enough features yet.

Be great in a bar. You could use it to see who might be interested in a little....chat. Save time, embarrassment, and expense.

Fillet of pork with chanterelle sauce (one pound of chanterelles!) with a bottle of Chablis and another bottle of Amarone.
My wife should have her birthday more often.

Roasted chicken with mushroom in a cream sauce with green peas with a glass of water (at work)!
I'd skip the Amarone, and use a Meursault instead (but that's just me).
I'd rather be phishing!

I can do without the green peas though, the rest of that sentence sounds mega-delicious.

Just a matter of taste.
There are some really great Bourgognes out there, but I have never tried a Meursault yet.
The place that's often overrated is Bordeaux.
My current favourite for affordable wines is Valdepeñas.

Your fil has the tougher job.
Grill season hasn't really started yet here, you know seasons and stuff at the 58th latitude. Spring is basically starting just now.

We've nearly finished out penny buns (porcini), and it's months and months until we can go out looking for more

2006 was an amazing year for Porcini, we picked the whole trunk of the car full. So ok it wasn't the biggest car, but still last for quite a while
And my wife is of the kind that can make a meal out of just mushrooms and butter!
|

With porcini can be dry and grinded into powder, useful for general purpose savory "umami" seasoning. Think : chicken salt
|
|
|
|

Dried porcini is great with sauces, but please don't grind them. There's a point in noticing they are there.

I have to agree, although I've never tried what was suggested, so may be wrong.
I have to admit that I love the smell of the house when the missus is drying them, though.

I'm only allowed to eat them rarely, because my wife loves my* mushrooms on toast for breakfast.
* Not really "mine", as such, but bluddy yummy!

Just celebrate every day that's not her birthday.

In continuation with my last post - Integration hell[^]
I agree with you all that more than anything it's a workflow issue and now finally I have taken out time to fix the workflow issue once and for all.
I am going through various documentation about SVN workflow best practices and a bit confused what should be the ideal structure.
First I will explain our development environment -
5 developers working from one location and 4 developers working from offshore location. Apart from this 2 product managers may need to push small css changes every now and then like colour change etc
Now my questions are:
1. Should I really consider distributed version control like GIT or stick to SVN as other team members are familiar with SVN more than GIT. So there will be learning curve for all if we switch to GIT also server is all set up for SVN so bit of cost issue as well.
But if it really adds value (like merging is way more easy in GIT) then I am sure I can try to convince to move to distributed version control.
2. If I stick to SVN what is the recommended way to structure Trunk, Branch and Tag?
Thanks for all your help.
