Alright here's the thing. My computer is about 60 feet away from the nearest shower in the house, and i'm trying to get a firewire cable long enough that it'll reach to that shower, so that I can put an isight in there, and watch when girls are taking showers. Catch my drift?

Yeah, so can anyone reccomend a really long firewire cable to me?

X-10 Wireless Cameras are perfect for putting cameras in hard to reach places.. Now If you place a camera in that shower you may have a pack of angry girls ready to tear your ding a lling off if you get caught, I know i would be mad.. And of course it could lead to serious criminal reprocussions later.. You could be charged with a peeping tom charge and home invasion, and in michigan that will put you on the states sex offender registry for the next 25 years. I would think twice maybe three times about doing anything that crazy, I mean if you want to see naked girls theres a whole internet full of porn at your fingertips and if that dont take care of you theres always the 50 dollar hookers.. might want to double wrap it if you have a hooker though, never know whats crawling around in there.

The thing is, porn is never the same as seeing someone REAL that you KNOW, that you've always wanted to see naked, just standing there naked, showering, and not.. not.. you know! Being in porn! It's just different!!!

Some sort of Ethernet transceiver should probably work, I'm not sure if they exist but it would work.

Although now I feel sick just knowing I helped you with this.

Hahahaha, are you for real? That is sooo juvinel, besides being ilegal.

They have those wireless camera things on ebay. I believe firewire has to have an amplifier every 10 or 20 feet. Wouldn't it be more fun to just ask your girlfriend/wife to help you out with your little fantasy.

I wasn't seriously planning on doing it. I just wanted to know if it's possible, and now that I know it is, it's VERY tempting.....

You could always just ask 'em to come into your room and take all their clothes off.

Oh wait. That's only guaranteed to work if you're me.

A wireless 802.11x camera would fit the bill and get you into prison just as quickly as you want to be.

He is 15 and his hormones are raging And there is a sweetheart of his, living close, whom he always wanted to see naked (I guess she doesn't date him either). Um, thats understandable, what girl would date a sick geek?

Check This Out.
Markertek Online SuperStore 1-800-522-2025

Item #: FWC-4-70

It's a 4-pin to 6-pin FireWire cable that is 70' long. That ought to help you with your little nefarious plan. And if you make the purchase online the police will have a nice paper trail to use when they charge you for voyeurism and invasion of privacy. Dumbass!!!

Firewire, as I recall, isn't used over distances greater than 14ft.

Don't try to outweird me, I get stranger things than you free with my breakfast cereal.

Ya I thought that as well. I know you can get repeaters though.

You'd probably need a repeater and several cables to do this.

By the way, this is a joke thread, right? Your current design for this system would get you caught (and likely castrated) well before you could ever shoot any video, and that's if you're lucky. If you're not so lucky, the water will fry your camera, your computer, and quite possibly you.

I hope I don't get taken to court just because of this thread, and asked to provide evidence that I never did such a thing. Although, I guess that would be kinda fun!

And yes this is a joke thread, and i'm 16 not 15. And EWWWWWWWWW, What is wrong with you perverts!!!???

"He's spending the weekend alone with his dad!".

WTF?

Yeah, i'm spending the week with my dad. We're gonna spend some quality time together, watch movies and stuff, and I pray to god (i'm not actually religious) that whatever thoughts are entering your mind about that, remain in your mind, for the sake of all humanity.

Jeesh.

Nevermind. I have to write a 6 page essay on whether students are given access or denied access to "The American Dream", and why. I don't have time to waste listening to you guys. It was just a joke. This thread can be closed now.
