They want to ban them for "regular" people and then only allow law-enforcement and paying customers -- I mean, ahem, um, large public-good website commerce sponsors -- to be able to fly and violate private airspace.
Okay, I'm like quad-triple posting this... but I really think I finally have this figured out:
The network of male overlords want to eliminate all their male competition: (e.g. like schools of fish or one of the main points of Dr. Strangelove [imdb.com]). Since the technocracy is rising, they can soon rely on robots for all the heavy lifting -- their only problem remaining is the maintaince and programming of the robots and systems they don't want to be bothered with -- so they still need some annoying technical people around. At the moment they're mostly male.:( Not good if you're trying to be the last man on earth!
Conclusion: if the goal is for the males that are now in power (or their great-grandsons who will be in power) to be the only males on the face of the planet: then for everything to keep going they must somehow inculcate females to code and eliminate the need for all (other) males entirely.
Low-income girls would be a nice controllable group to start with.

I finally realized what all this pressure for female coders is about!

The intent of the United States of America was to protect and value the freedom of the individual over and above the good of society.
Nowadays it seems people here in the "home of the brave" are fearful and lazy. So they would rather society protect them instead of having to be responsible for themselves.
However the government needs you to be a willing party when they take control of your thermostat/driving distances/water usage/ability to procreate/breathe -- so you "must" change your mind or they will change it for you:)
NASA has become too political -- I am unable to trust their prediction models.
But I'm sure this NASA service will be a vital political service when 2050 and 2100 roll around, so they can show the rest of the world that we're in compliance with the G7's will.
End government backed college loans: only cash.
The college system is a big fat business. Subsidizing the college industry with government backed loans puts price pressure on the education commodity.
Remove the subsidy and prices must fall for any college to have any students at all. Sure, not all college prices will come down -- but the baseline set by ability for everyone to borrow must drop.
Keeping people functioning in a smaller radius concentrates the population, which consolidates income and sales taxes into a single region and subsequently centralizes economic and political power.
But it helps the environment, so pay no attention to that police state behind the curtain!
The natural gas industry spends billions of dollars to capture methane for sale and combustion.
This methane plume represents millions of dollars lost (possibly billions since its so large) -- if NASA can locate the source, I'm sure more than one oil & gas company would be more than happy to keep all that money from blowing away with the wind.
Slashdot Mirror
You'll notice the article only has one reported incident of a drone and wildfire. The other, is a neighbor taking pictures of a house fire.
They want to ban them for "regular" people and then only allow law-enforcement and paying customers -- I mean, ahem, um, large public-good website commerce sponsors -- to be able to fly and violate private airspace.
If the fire-fighter is the one shooting down the drone -- they're already there.
And in this case, the fire crew can send the fire-alarm bill directly to the drone-operator. The FAA doesn't need the money anyway.

Have you run a Java applet lately? Or maybe you'd prefer Silver-light?
I think Adobe had something called Flash that's pretty popular too..
Nah, just build a water pipeline to Canada.
So Did OpenBSD's much vaunted refactor of OpenSSL turn up this bug before the OpenSSL team found it?

It's the same with pornography; it becomes a replacement, a preference to a real relationship.
No intelligent man wants a relationship with any modern woman: they're not worth the trouble.
But no worries. Society will go on (See Idiocracy).
So until they have open up that new frontier on Mars, I think I'll play some video-games.
Is the mass of these waves large enough to affect the earth's spin on it's axis?
Especially since they are far away from the earth's center of gravity, it seems they would have more effect.
I'm thinking specifically of the tsunami in Japan -- how that much movement of so much water might have introduced a "wobble" in the earth's spin.

There's no question now: if there's an acronym the Brits have to build it.

Canada!
You'll notice the comment-moderation "wold-pack" happens on Slashdot mainly around the time of the US elections.
It's the same thing: all contrary views get modded out of existence and only one viewpoint is promoted.
This just affirms doubts concerning the US claims of North Korean hacking Sony Pictures or any-given-hullabaloo about cyber attacks.
Perhaps it's all a deception to achieve some political end?
Or perhaps Snowden and Russia, et. all are trying to undermine our trust in the supreme integrity of our not-to-be-quesitoned leaders :)
Just think how much money will save by not having all those pesky congressman and senators!
Yeah, they had this thing called the Constitution that was suppose to do that.
I remember a professor at the University of Chicago Law School who taught a good class about it. Not sure if he's still there anymore...
