I don't think that the drone delivery question will be settled by the FAA, aviation experts or any laws. It will be settled in the courts, by lawyers. When a drone crashes in a park, and turns the face of somebody's child into raw hamburger meat, there will be a massive liability lawsuit.
Actually, law enforcement agencies do collect a lot of pedo . . . for forensic analysis. They look for clues in the periphery of the photos that might lead police to the culprit. For example, a calender on the wall in Russian or other clues that give away location information.
Or, if they have enough pictures of the victim's face, they can build a face recognition model with OpenCV. Then they can combine this with a TOR crawler to attempt to collect even more pictures, which may have even more clues.
When I first read the headline, I thought that the "criminals" were the NSA. I was wondering what all the fuss was about. It just sounded like business as usual to me . . .
The governor’s order focused primarily on urban water use, even though California’s $45 billion agricultural industry accounts for the bulk of the state’s water consumption: roughly 80%
it's hard to get mad at farmers growing kale and artichokes.
No, its very easy to get mad. The government is clamping down on people who use 20% of the water . . . while leaving the Big Farming industry, who use 80% of the water untouched.
California needs to scale back on its farming industry. That's where the biggest savings in water usage could be made. The Feds could help out as well, by refusing to pay subsidies to farmers who try to raise crops in a desert.
Nope. The US would never have put Osama bin Laden on trial: It would have been a spectacular media circus, with every Muslim in the world cheering for the underdog Martyr.
I was much more expedient to shoot him, and toss him in the drink.
Hey, look at what Rolling Stone did with Dzhokhar Tsarnaev: They turned him into an idol for teenage girls. Imagine what they would have done with Osama bin Laden . . . ?
We've known for a long time where most of California's water goes: Big Farming.
However, California's politicians wouldn't dare to address that issue. California's farmers are millionaires, and very generous political campaign donors.
I usually do not respond to obvious trolls, but in this case I will make an exception.
Have you ever worked with Greeks on an IT project? I have. About three years, on an EU FP7 sponsored project. The "best" of Greece, people from Athens Technology Center (ATC) and the National Technology University of Athens (NTUA) were involved.
They were simply crap, to sum it up succinctly.
Now as to your points . ..
Grateful for being scammed and conquered?
No one forced Greece into the Eurozone. The government of Greece cooked their books to get in. If Greece wants out, don't let the door hit their ass on the way out. But if you owe the EU money, you had better be prepared to pay it back. No free lunch, you lazy mother-fuckers!
Eurozone is a brilliant trap, nothing more:
The Eurozone is for advanced economies . . . Greece is a Third World Country, although, they don't want to admit it.
2. Mandate that every nation must have a positive trade balance, which is of course impossible since they trade mainly with one another and every credit on one nation's balance sheet is a debit on another's.
Greece has such high unemployment . . . because the Greeks are unemployable. What can they do in one hour? Roll a few Dolmades? Germans would push off a Mercedes off the production line in that time.
3. As all economies weaker than your own fail one by one, "rescue" them with loans who's terms destabilize their society and further cripple their economy.
Sorry, but the Greek government did that to themselves . . . and their citizens . . . and the citizens got the government that they deserved.
4. Enjoy new colonial empire. Deutschland uber alles!
Germans would like nothing better than giving Greece the boot out of the Eurozone and the EU. And who is paying for everything in Greece right now? You should think twice about flipping Germany the bird.
Oh, and I am American, by the way . . . in case you were wondering.
The IMF, European Central Bank and the EU wasted 330€ billion on keeping Greece in the Eurozone, which is both impractical and impossible.
Although the 330€ billion is officially loans, that money ain't no never be coming back. And Greece will have to leave the Eurozone. Although the majority of Greeks would like to stay in the Eurozone, the fiscal policies of Greece's Prime Minister Tsipras and Finance Minister Varoufakis can only work if Greece has it's own currency to devalue. So the game is for Greece to exit the Eurozone, and that each side can blame the other for what happened.
Anyway, the politicians in the EU sold this 330€ billion bailout package to the public as necessary for the "security" of the Eurozone. In the US, the politicians sell the $10 million on failed projects as necessary for US military superiority . . . in other words, also as necessary for "security" of the US public.

Those are the folks who brought Prohibition to the US, with disastrous consequences. They are just flexing their muscles a bit. After they successful ban powdered alcohol everywhere, they will start going after other fringe alcohol products, like Jello-shots, alco-pops or whatever those damn kids on my lawn are drinking these days.
Hey, we're talking about the Teamsters' Union here; as in, "Where are you, Jimmy Hoffa?" They are continuously re-watching "Mad Max: The Road Warrior," and getting all leathered-up, with mini-crossbows on their wrists. When those robot trucks hit the roads, they will meet unfortunate "accidents".
It's high time that we discuss the lack of Pod Diversity in the IT Industry. Over 50% of important US government officials are actually pods. But only 5% in the IT Industry. Although, they mostly hold managerial positions, where a lack of humanity goes easily unnoticed.
I believe this is because IT Workers are smart enough to use fire extinguishers to fight the Pods . . .
. . . or was that another movie, and I am getting confused . . . ?
So, think about it more closely. H1-Bs now have your jobs. And are slacking off while working and reading Slashdot. But the April 1st jokes are not funny, and the H1-Bs do not understand them. So, they are not laughing like you used to.

It's strange that it took 11 and a half hours to reach the verdict.
Maybe the catering for the jurors was good . . . ?
The American scientist and polymath Jared Diamond wrote a book, whose title is the solution to dealing with the Natives: "Guns, Germans, and Steel"
You can buy Guns and Steel, but Germans are the difficult one to get in the Beanie Baby set.
Also, German military policy is to only participate in wars which they start themselves.
(Joking aside, the German parliament gets their drawers in a not, with nasty debates, before they export a single H&K MP7 anywhere in the world.)
They also live on the beach and have nothing better to do all day than bitch, moan, and protest shit..
Strange . . . I could swear that you are describing the Greeks. Are you sure that you are really lived in Hawaii, and not Greece . . . ?

Will we even be able to recognize it as life, when we do find it . . . ?
I'm thinking that they are breaking this pattern now, and have a new one.

Dear Windows 10 . . . can you just go back to being Windows 7 . . . ?
Thanks, your PolygamousRanchKid . . . and don't claim that you didn't know that I was your son!
There is one small catch . . . if you happen to copy the license plate of a criminal, things could get complicated . . .
In the UK the joke doesn't count if it's after mid-day anyway.
Yes, but since the sun never sets on the British Empire, somewhere in the world, it's before mid-day . . .

if a republican wins the presidency in 2016, I'm sure it will be a matter of days until we are invading Iran.
. . . and if a Democrat wins the Presidency in 2016, the same thing will happen, but the President will claim, "The cat ate my emails!"
We're all unemployed, you insensitive clod!

So . . . you win!

We can imagine that the horse is pink.
It depends on how long you cook it. Horses ordered "rare" are still a bit bloody inside, "medium" are pink, but "well-done" are greyish.
Windows 10? No thanks, I'll wait for Windows 9, the good version they skipped.
I'm waiting for Windows 11. Most OSes only go up to 10, but Windows will go up to 11.
