  1. Re:Stupid media bait on Amazon Reveals "Prime Air", Their Plans For 30-minute Deliveries By Drone · · Score: 1

    IPODC (IP Over Drone Carriers)?

  2. Re:How safe is it driven within the law? on Is the Porsche Carrera GT Too Dangerous? · · Score: 1

    I had a pickup truck that would stall if you steered, braked and shifted into neutral all at the same time as RPMs dropped to idle too quickly. I did this one time when pulling into a parking lot a tad fast, ~35 MPH. I was very happy to reach a parking spot without hitting anything and I really wasn't going all that fast...

    Get enough packages moving at the same time and you could actually watch the network operate...

    Range isn't an issue. Amazon just has to rent power off of each cell tower in the city, then setup the quad copters to land on the tower for charging. Now the delivery can be handed off between drones, thus increasing the range.

    The cost for this delivery method should only be... outrageous.

  5. Re:Actually a recent issue? on European Health Levels Suddenly Collapsed After 2003 and Nobody Is Sure Why · · Score: 1

    Wow, what are you on? Seems like quite a ride...

    I don't think socialism had much sway in Europe in the 1930s (80 years ago). Fascism sure but I believe socialism didn't have much fun until it hit eastern Europe after WWII.

  6. Actually a recent issue? on European Health Levels Suddenly Collapsed After 2003 and Nobody Is Sure Why · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Is the cause in 2003 or is it a delayed cause from a decade, two decades or even eighty years ago?

    This is bad how?

  8. Lenovo Retina? on Ask Slashdot: Best Laptops For Fans Of Pre-Retina MacBook Pro? · · Score: 0

    I'm probably insane (well given anyway) but I'd be tempted to put a retina LCD in my Lenovo laptop if I could figure out how to do that...

  9. Re:"AN Lenovo"? on Ask Slashdot: Best Laptops For Fans Of Pre-Retina MacBook Pro? · · Score: 2

    Looks more like he started to type "an e-430" and realized people might not realize it was a Lenovo. Problably didn't think the sensitivities of grammar nazis were important enough to fix the typo either. Personally I prefer clarity over correctness and "an Lenovo e-430" is more clear than "an e-430" is correct...

    +1 I have a Lenovo Y410p (close enough to T-series ;p) which is a really nice little powerhouse. The only problem I've had with it is the annoying click buttons on the touchpad which don't always work (well the right click)... I want my spring loaded buttons back. Otherwise it has been great.

    Like they say, you can either laugh or cry (or rage I guess). I prefer the former ;)

  12. Arrest Ford! on Driver Arrested In Ohio For Secret Car Compartment Full of Nothing · · Score: 1

    Their 95 Taurus wagon (and others too I suspect) have "hidden" storage for both a normal and full size spare tire. No one needs the use of both so one of those is obviously used to smuggle drugs!

    I think some memebers of the Doolittle raid were forced on the march too. Could be wrong though.

    Never said I was stronger, just trying to be less stupid... and not alway succeeding.

    You make an excellent point. Reminds me of the experiments where a person was made to think they were executing someone in the name of science. While a part of me keeps saying the brainwashed are weak, I need to remember I'm probably not any stronger and am deluding myself to think otherwise.

    I find it sad that my annoyance of the assumption my post is religious is getting higher ratings than my post thanking those who fought and died for us regardless of weather or not it included a religious consideration. Feel free to rate me into the basement but I believe the sacrifices of those who fought it WW2 is among the greatest actions of a people in history.

    Just curious, what is your opinion about those killed in 9/11? I'm pretty sure many Taliban were attacking the US due to people killed by the US in the middle east.

    Not saying either side is right but any idea from a certain point of view...

    Yeah, with all due respect to willy everlearn (I suspect most people here are intelligent most of the time, I know I'm not some times), I wish people would back up potentially inflamitory statements. It tends to sent off my I know I read otherwise flag and my must reeducate style rants :)
