If this does in fact come to a store near me, and I am still actually able to taste things [I am slowly losing my sense of taste] I would give it a try. I don't really care where my meat comes from as long as it tastes good to me at the time and if I eventually lose my sense of taste then it won't really matter to me at all and I'd actually prefer not having to kill the planet and a bunch of animals to feed me. So yah, sure, I'd give it a shot.
Good evening, friends. It's great that you're looking to the heavens, but let's not forget that Heaven should be our goal and our destiny. However, that choice is up to us. We have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. But because God sent his only son, our Lord Jesus Christ, to die for our sins, we are redeemed. But we must accept this generous offer from our Lord and each of us must be born again. We must all repent of our sins and have a born again experience if we are to be saved. As Peter powerfully spoke shortly after Jesus ascended into Heaven, he commanded that we are to repent and be baptized. Immersion in water is a sign that we are cleansed of our sins. We should all want to spend eternity in Heaven where we shall not need nor want, rather than eternal torment in Hell. If you're ready to accept Jesus Christ as your personal savior, you must be born again and then you should be baptized with water. I hope and pray that you will read this message and your heart and mind will be opened to our Lord, from whom all good things come.

It's great to see some stand up comedy on here now and then. Always good for a laugh.
To charge a battery that only gives you 10 minutes flight takes about 20 to 30 minutes with a decent charger. Also nobody I know only has 1 battery. The real problem here though are these DJI flying idiots doing stupid things with these off the shelf quads.
I got my pi2 a few weeks ago for 37.99 including shipping. http://www.ebay.com/itm/261834...
took about 4 days to get here and have been having a blast with it. So yah it was worth the extra 2.99.
Why can't they just add a tint/film to the windows to filter out the light frequencies used in laser pointers? Or have them wear glasses on take off and landing?
As a multirotor pilot I have have really had no qualms about this, right up until now. Now there is no way in hell I am going to sign up for this. I'll instead toss another 50 dollars to the AMA and hopefully THEY can inject some sanity into this mess.
It can be a fairly expensive hobby, I'm not surprised if doctors are lobbying...

So one kid goes out of his way to make a fake bomb and then calls it a clock and gets invited to the Whitehouse and this kid just brings an off the shelf backpack with a charger in it and after a kid threatens him to which he thought was a joke, proceeded to joke about it gets tossed in the pokey, and it was justified?, It is sad but the real terrorists have already won:(
The Lidar Lite v2 is pretty wicked. The v1 was selling for 89 dollars a while back. I was going to get one for one of my multirotors but decided to wait for the code to mature a little. Then the V2 came out and I was going to get one of these but am holding off for the code to mature [I use APM:Pilot] a bit more. But now I may wait until 2025 [NOT] for this to come out and by then the code should be well mature:)
I am still thinking about getting a v2 in the next month or so:) Maybe if I am lucky the price will come down a little as well.
>> run-of-the-mill evil company run by rotten people
I didn't realize Symantec or Trend micros were a good companies run by nice people. Maybe McAfee could be a character witness for them.:)
>> how could you possibly trust them to protect you?
If a "security" company doesn't have the technical expertise to figure out the difference between real and fake viruses (as it seems a number of these companies couldn't), I'm not sure how much protection they're offering anyway. I guess I'd rather watch the egress traffic from the software of the the technically-savvy company than sleep knowing I got my AV software from the brightly-colored company who bought me a steak dinner at the conference.
There is no McAfee any longer. It is now Intel Security.
I actually find Bitdefender Free to be a better alternative to Micrososft's free package. It's about as light weight and finds stuff MS's misses. And it's free.
Actually can feel a little smug right now. My 30 dollar Lumia 520 running Windows 10 works great and since there aren't really any apps for it I don't have to worry about these apps messing with my phone being a well.. a phone.
I actually like my Lumia 520. Not because it's safer but because it's not android or ios. I don't care about apps because I really don't use them. I just care that it makes phone calls without dropping and text messages work. Bonus is it is running Windows 10 pretty well for such a cheap phone. All wins to me.
As a multirotor flyer myself I would say we are everywhere. The thing is, "most" of us fly responsibly and in areas that do not encroach on non-flyers properties. The reason you never see us is because we aren't out to spy on you. We aren't out to cause damage. We are out to have a good time, either alone or in groups. You know pretty much like any other fun past time. It's the fucking idiots who cause all issues. The few who don't care about others. The few who buy these ready to fly kits and have absolutely no business flying these things in places they have no business flying them. I live in a pretty backwards area of the US and I am surprised all the time by the number of peeps who fly multirotors down here. But even I have never just seen one flying out of the blue.
Pretty sure that would pay for itself pretty quickly. Instead of mining near earth asteriods I would think that starting on the moon and then launching from the moon to anywhere else would be the way to go forward.
Agreed but to be honest I get maybe 1 or 2 junk mails in my Outlook inbox every couple of months or so. I have pretty much forgotten the days where I'd get 100's a day. I've forgotten that it was even an issue to be honest. I just don't see them anymore as I send all my email through my primary email to my gmail and finally to my outlook and they just aren't there anymore. Primary filters, gmail filters, and outlook just doesn't see them, I'm pretty much shocked when one does get through lol.
I love these little modules. I have some 01s, 03's, and 11's and they are a blast to play with hooked up to my teensy 3.1's
A real blast until you forget the 3.3v issue and they really smell bad @ 5v.
I guess you don't like in a place where they have:
1. Switched Digital Video
2. DRM EVERY show and lock it to the PC into which it was recorded
I personally LOVE my Media Center based PC using a Centon 4 channel Tuner with a Cable Card that I have used for about 6 or so years now but would LOVE to be able to use something else if it would work with my Tuner and Cable card setup. But there is NOT.
So only multirotors are in the sights. What about Fixed Wing [airplanes/jets/etc], they can do pretty much the exact same thing as Multirotors [I REFUSE to call MRs Drones as drone kill people, no multirotor has so far killed anyone!] And what about Helicopters. Again can do the same as pretty much any Multirotor except they HAVE killed people and yet no mention of them.
The problem is not the technology, it's the idiots who go buy a DJI with 0 idea of what they are doing and lose control and fly in places they should not.
The media then plays on the fears of the average joe who doesn't know the difference between a "Drone" after seeing images like this preditor drone and this Multirotor
I build multirotors for people all the time, I fly them all the time, and I have yet to hurt anyone or anything other than the multirotor itself.
What democracy? In a democracy, you have a say. Here, you weren't even supposed to know about it for a minimum of 5 years after it took effect. Secret laws and all that.
We in the US have NEVER been a democracy.
We are a republic.
Remember in school when we had to say the Pledge of Allegiance?
"I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands"
Does it record from my Ceton HD quad tuner with cable card? [and yes all of our channels are drm/encrypted]
Does its TV Guide no longer suck?
When it can do those 2 simple things 1/2 as well as MediaCenter then maybe I'd consider using XMBC again, but until then MediaCenter is my go to software running on my media center machine.
The first replacement that comes out that works 1/10th as well as my media center will get my money. So far nothing works with my cable card because 100% of the channels are drm'd and the need for a tuning adapter to all the channels that I don't really watch anyway.
There are some things in MCE that just flat out rock as well, the excellent guide, ease of recording, just everything. [Well except for the time it forgets to record your favorite show for no apparent reason]
So it looks like I'm going to keep it running 7 until something changes and peeps are allowed to connect to the cable card with little to no hindrance.

Every OCZ 120 gig SSD I owned failed. I no longer use them even if they are better now that Toshiba owns them.

The real question is if it installs the McAfee, and if it doesn't anybody can point me out where can I get infected?
There is no McAfee anymore. Intel bought them a while back and now they are re-branded Intel Security.

I good way to fix that issue is simple. Stop dropping your electronics. I've only twice dropped my devices in all the years I have had these things.
