I wonder if anyone in the architecture profession has ever proclaimed "Well if you really want to change the world, empower regular people to build skyscrapers."
Well what about building a shed out back so your tools don't rust?
Beyond all of that, this is about public perception. The complete tool who did this is practically begging to have members of the public pile onto the FAA's existing effort to, in practice, shut down this entire hobby and almost every attempt to put these tools to work in research and business. Gee, thanks.
More likely, members of the public will watch the video and think it's great and isn't it great that someone is able to do that. Relax.
But I'm a white male. I have nothing Google wants.:(
Actually, if you would kindly run all of your personal and financial information through our marketing algorithms--er, "free cloud tools and services," that would be fantastic. Thanks.
This is a contradiction. It is not easy to do these things, whether they are done for good or evil. If your measure of intelligence does not account for understanding other people, it is flawed.
CEO's are stupid as boxes of rocks, but they can sell themselves and talk others into doing things and convince people they know what they are doing.
Hackers are curious people who just want to know how a system works.
Bingo. I finally realized this week why I never really felt comfortable with a few of my Help Desk coworkers: they are neither curious nor creative in their jobs. "Because I can" should be a common response on our team. Oh, and I don't trust computer techs who don't game.
And the flipside: if I have a known malware sample ignored by the AV, why can't I add its signature to the database myself? Why must I submit it to the vendor first to await their sluggish response?
You are absolutely correct, this drives me nuts. An illustration from the corporate end user perspective: it is almost impossible to get any information from any AV vendor about WHY a certain signature was triggered. Given the prevalence of false positives with the latest heuristic and reputation-based detections, this information can be absolutely vital to making the correct decisions. But the best you can usually get is 'it is a trojan' or some other vague crap. They seem to view their signatures as some sort of secret sauce that must never be revealed.
Disclosure: I've never been to NYC, and I don't know how these horses are treated. If they're generally treated poorly, then disregard my comments.
That said, it makes me wonder if the animal rights activists have ever met working horses. Working animals are bred for their jobs and they tend to enjoy them. My brother owned a draft horse and there was nothing he liked better than pulling. If pulling teams are animal cruelty, then so is playing fetch with your retriever.
If you don't care for the modes, why do you still use VIM? I'm sure there are better suited editors to your preferences.
Vim is nice and I actually use it for programming, but jumping between the command mode, insert mode and visual mode still slows me down a lot. Why can't we just be in insert mode constantly and use Ctrl+something for all the commands? Also use Shift+arrows to select text?

I'm not sure how Minecraft applies, though I agree that Blizzard now is not the Blizzard of 10 years ago.

I do feel kind of extreme. Extremely awesome for being a Linux user!
Most Linux users do.

Just what I want, twin 10000 PSI bombs waiting underneath me for just the right fender bender.
PC multiplayer games still have cheats. They just have to be set from the console, by an administrator.
I have no idea what you're trying to say.

Which is around 64 times the surface area. Please: better math, more precise statements.
My own response is "interested apathy" - it might be good, but I really just can't force myself to care anymore, not the way I used to.
I think you mean "ambivalence."
Considering that the AVGN just did a movie based on this legend, I wonder what his reaction will be?
No need to wonder: http://cinemassacre.com/2014/0...
The movie is still in post, by the way. It isn't done yet.

No "historical preservation" crap
Good idea! Sacrifice guaranteed indefinite tourism revenue for the momentary economics of tech startups.
Having poor reading and writing skills is different than none and, besides: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B...
You're still always gonna be the Walmart of the internet.
I'd just like to say I greatly appreciate your post. Thanks for sharing.
How about we send Microsoft some books on how to design a user interface?
You fail to grasp Microsoft's brilliant play. Metro is a feature to encourage the use of the (Power)shell environment.
...since I'm quite sure that nobody has all the answers, yet zealots...
Your postmodern zeal is commendable! (I kid.)
I think the answer he was looking for was "light switch".
That's a pretty bright idea.
Next question-headline, please.
