Question:

Is there any way that a car alarm can be deactivated?

I moved to this neighborhood about 2 months ago and some nights I heard my car alarm beeping. I always made sure my car alarm was activated but I guess a week ago I forgot to activate it and someone stole my stereo and iPod. I bought another stereo and iPod but Im afraid someone will steal it again. Is there any way that someone can deactivate my alarm, I have a 91 Honda Accord station wagon in very nice condition very nice accessorised, so I am afraid someone can deactivate the alarm. Thanks!

Answer:

Boot the computer by pressing F8 and go to safe mode. Log in as admin, there you can access the control panel. You can now create a new user and have your own PC settings, or remove the program he installed.
That's actually being done on some aircraft now. Unfortunately, the pilots can't see the video, but it's recorded on the 'black box'.
To add to what's above, if you consider the accident you mentioned, it wasn't lack of cameras that caused them to shut down the wrong engine. Each engine has several heat detectors and the fire control panel has separate indicators for the 1 and 2 engines, and APU. A big flashing red light tells them which engine in on fire, and they are on opposite sides of the control, so they are not easy to mistake. Unfortunately the crew must have panicked and shut down the opposite engine (such things have happened too many times before).
