Why not just add another mission to regular passenger planes, and make them bombers, as well? Just make the seats able to hold bombs as well as humans, and add bomb bay doors on the floor. Then instead of just sitting around waiting for a war to start, bombers can haul passengers around the world.
And, hey, those bomb bay door would speed up de-boarding at the airport as well.
It would be just important for the pilots to remember if they were hauling bombs to drop in a war zone, or passengers to drop at an airport.
So the FBI should just post a bounty on the folks with these things. Those bounty hunters seems to be good at finding folks and their stuff.
Maybe the FBI should just call the tailed folks up, and ask them nicely to give the devices back? Although, that didn't work out too well with the CIA Iran drone.
How about a national "Search Your Own Car Day?" You might be surprised what you'd find under the back seat.

Apple Has Too Much Money

. . . pick some good staff and management to run them, let them come up with some good ideas. And just wait and see where they go. If nowhere, tough luck, but the mother ship's kids won't go hungry. On the other hand . . . maybe they might end up with a valuable subsidiary.
Giving cash to shareholders won't work. They will just use the cash to go out and buy yet again more Apple products.
So then Apple will be stuck with the money again, and not know what to do with it.
Soon companies will advertise their products with their patent folios, not their technology. As in:
"We do NOT have the best technology, but we have the BEST patents! So buy our phones, because if you buy from a competitor, we will shutdown their features, because we own the patents."
The NSA used to be called "No Such Agency". Maybe knowledge of the agency, itself, is secret.
"We are from the government. Give us your data!"
"Uh, which agency . . . ?"
"That's secret."
"Well, how do I find out about the agency . . . ?"
"You need a security clearance."
"And how do I get one . . . ?"
"That's secret."
I'd love to see some demographics on countries sorted by asshole cleanliness.

You forgot, "Does it run Linux?", "Imagine a Beowulf cluster of these", "It's good for Global Warming", "It's bad for Global Warming" and "In Soviet-Japanese space, Obayashi elevators YOU!"
Forget the hunters. What if some Bozo flying a drone manages to crash it causing significant damage somewhere? Sue the Bozo? Naw, he ain't got no money. Sue the manufacturing for selling a dangerous product?
How do serious RC flyers handle this? Fly only over club owned land? Maybe a collective liability insurance for members?
If one lands in my backyard, can I keep it? Can I play the grumpy old man, with the fenced-in yard, who tells the neighborhood children: "No, no ball went over the fence into my yard!" . . . "and their ain't no drone here, neither. Now, scram!"
Are the Iranians selling the plans for their catcher? Or do I have to trade them weapons-grade plutonium for them?
How can you know if drones are circling overhead? Do they have a special air traffic control frequency? Do the drone pilots back at the base communicate with controllers or other pilots? Can I listen in?
... these factories are some sort of prison with forced-labor and the evil specter of Steve Jobs himself whipping workers...
I have never seen that S&M porn site. Are the workers cute naked chicks, rubbing iPhones and iPads over their well-oiled bodies during production? Please post a link.
Actually, a whip-wielding Steve Jobs video clip would be a good screen saver app. I don't think the Apple iPhone Store folks would let it in, though.
. . . start with 2000 known customers who started buying diapers and formula on a certain date. Now what did they start buying seven months before that?
Well, they weren't buying condoms, I'd imagine . . .
I wonder if the interrogation folks will turn this idea on its head, and develop ways to implant pain into subjects' brains. As is, "we are not going to physically harm you, but you will think and feel as if we had!" And it leaves behind no physical evidence of abuse.

Short answer: which have the better safety records, British motorways or German Autobahn?
Controversial answer: Which roads have better drivers, British motorways or German Autobahn . . . ?
What's even more interesting, is how little interest our politicians have in us.
As opposed to their own careers and their paymasters.

Viola! No trash talk press conference brawls anymore!

The UK now has a law to order folks to, "Oh! Behave! . . . "
Soon companies will advertise their products with their patent folios, not their technology. As in:
"We do NOT have the best technology, but we have the BEST patents! So buy our phones, because if you buy from a competitor, we will shutdown their features, because we own the patents."
"And we own the Patent Office and the Courts."
I'd be interested to know which one...
That interest, is, in fact, a criminal offense.
CIA, FBI, DHS, [redacted]?

The Academy Awards will become a week long event.
So many fake smiles in the news would kill folks.
Folks who don't understand what the term originally meant, now use it to describe any tech problem as bricked. As in:
"My browser says 'page not found' . . . my system must be bricked! I read that 'bricked' means 'not working' in the IT business . . . right?"

Redirect a GPS equipped armored car to your secret criminal location and land it safely. Just like the Iranians did with the drone.
In old movies, criminals used fake "Detour" signs to re-route trucks carrying loot. Criminals are just getting high-tech savvy.
They always say, "Maybe I'll need it someday . . . ", or "I might be able to scavenge some parts . . ."
And the stuff just sits around forever . . . right next to my Token Ring network card, tangled up in cables with wacky connectors . . .
They just can't part with the Tevatron . . . this recycling line is just an excuse to keep it around.

Dope people up with the push of a button. What a marvelous idea! Calm the masses.
Great for school teachers. Is that kid in the third row acting up again? Push a button to Ritalin or Adderall him up.
When your drug dispenser runs low, it will pump you up with a last dose that turns you into a zombie, and instructs you to return home for refilling.
. . . and back into its children, where it belongs!
Are other countries in the world meth-ing up their children? Or is this like a US only type thing?
I wonder if the interrogation folks will turn this idea on its head, and develop ways to implant pain into subjects' brains. As is, "we are not going to physically harm you, but you will think and feel as if we had!" And it leaves behind no physical evidence of abuse.
This would be very ugly.
I just want to be able to read the source code, thanks.
As to their definition, "Life is autonomous self-reproduction with variations," . . . that sounds like a euphemism for "kinky masturbation."
