Drones can scare off birds, which would piss off OTHER photographers going to the park for bird-watching purposes. An inability to think up interesting shots has more to do with a lack of artistic vision than a lack of options.
I imagine they used tobacco less because it's "easy to work with" and more because "noone complains about GMO tobacco products", fully intending to sell this to tobacco companies.
There are people who listen to the guy on the radio scaremongering, and the only part of it they understand is that rich people are trying to screw over the little guy. If asked to elaborate they regurgitate keywords, but all they comprehend is their emotions association with 'bad thing'. It's not just critical thinking, it seems some people lack metacognition entirely.
Widespread fully-automated surveillance of public spaces is to hiring a P.I. to tail one person, as a machine gun is to a semi-auto.22 Funny how the one that gives the government more power is legal yet the analogous one that gives the people more power is banned. If private citizens set up their OWN mass-public-surveillance system to track where every politician goes and when, it'll be cracked down on quickly (with a nice exemption for the government to do the same thing.)
Not saying I think full-auto firearms should be owned by just anyone, my point is that scale can be reasonably expected to affect how the law will be applied.
You're assuming his goal is profit rather than maximizing usage. This might be comparable to putting a dresser on the curb with a sign that says 'Free' and noone taking it, and then putting a sign that says '$5' and it's gone in minutes.

The RED Phone supposedly has a really-cool next-gen holographic display that requires no glasses, and works at any orientation/angle (unlike say the 3DS). If that tech somehow takes off, then 3d photos might make sense (the phone comes with a 3d camera IIRC). Otherwise, noone's gonna put on a VR headset to look at still photos. Once AR displays become commonly used, then I could see people looking at 3d photos more frequently, but that's probably not going to happen until Apple releases something.
Umm what? It'd make far more sense to charge up the batteries at night (from the grid) when the price of electricity is lowest and your house needs the lowest amount of energy; and to discharge the batteries during the day when electricity is most expensive and you use the most, and you possibly have solar panels providing most of your energy needs.
Feeding electricity into the grid requires utility infrastructure upgrades (in many cases) in order to handle that; residential batteries may be cheaper in those cases.
Lambskin condoms are more expensive in large part because they're considered a superior product (in terms of sensitivity, so long as you don't care about STI transmission). They're sold in lower volume due to the higher price (and the fact they're slimy/clammy), so there's less economy of scale to keep price down.
Intestines are normally discarded (or more likely, turned into grist for feedlots), as the market for (humans) eating intestines is way smaller than the amount produced by the meat industry. I could see synthetic casings being cheaper, but the intestines are going to be cheap to buy; if anything, cleaning them would be the vast majority of the cost of using them. I imagine the premium sausages use natural casings for reasons of tradition, which allows them to charge a higher price to make up for it.
I suspect there's some instinctive disgust for organ meats, that can be suppressed via exposure. Thus, people not raised eating it tend to resist eating it. I know other animals are a-ok eating organs, so I'm unsure why humans would be.
I've been reticent to eat sausage ever since I learned this fact, as I consider eating intestines to be disgusting. Knowing it's traditional doesn't make me consider it any less disgusting. It'd only be scare-mongering if e.g. I said that eating intestines causes cancer. If you mean defamatory, as in that I'm overblowing how 'notorious' this makes sausage-making, I disagree that sausages have a good reputation, and point to this as a major reason why.
I thought porn was 90% of the interwebs. Unless there's some overlap with bacon, cats, and/or the Kardashians. I reject your reality and substitute my own!
SINK to that of big tobacco? This is the industry notorious for using intestines as casings for sausages, for causing generations of children to half-joke about 'mystery meat', for inventing hot dogs, inventing SPAM (which is so dubious it's the butt of a well-known Monty Python skit AND became the de-facto term for unwanted emails, later extended to mean large amounts of anything of low quality). This is the industry which inspired a novel, The Jungle, to be written about its horrid 'quality control', which led the President of the United States to declare he would never eat meat again.
This is in comparison to the Marlboro Man, Joe Camel, James Dean, and generations of people thinking that smoking was cool. Sure, people sometimes called cigarettes 'coffin nails', but cigs were considered more respectable than many meats. Consider this: would you rather be in the tobacco industry, or a butcher?
He should've set his ttl higher... His heartbeat hit a lag spike and dropped out. No carrier. We should've listened to Ted Stevens -- the arteries of the internet are too clogged.

He was making an analogy to production of units of the arcade game "Tapper".
Perfectly cromulent.
Grill, yes. Grille, no.
Wait I thought automation was BAD for General Motors? Which is it, Slashdot?! Tell me what to think!

Just curious, how does one pronounce that?
'Ribulose one comma five bisphosphate carboxylase slash oxygenase'?
Or are the comma and/or slash silent?

Lojack got jacked by jackoffs so they can hijack you from the back without even using JTAG.

Touched by the hand of God, indeed.
I did not, thanks.
If I made a fake hand, I'd use it to beat something else.
Some eggs, for instance.

There is also turkey bacon, which I actually prefer since it's leaner.
Well played.
If we tried to ban grilled/seared steak, New York would secede!
