Indeed. Violating military airspace will not involve the FAA to get you out. Fighters will intercept you, and if you do not willingly land with them, they will simply shoot you down.
Unless your aircraft is equipped with countermeasures, and you shoot back.
An FAA executive noted that an "accident" refers to a situation in which "the aircraft has done something unplanned or unexpected and violates an airspace regulation."
So, deviating from the flight plan is considered an accident?
If the drone operator changes the course in a way that is not inline with the plan, that's considered an accident?
Well, those were taken in April, the NOTAM issuing the TFR was dated June 9th. Obviously they were too little too late preventing all aerial photography:)
Well, I don't understand why Slashdot didn't publish a link to their actual press release which is much more informative than medicaldaily.com's 5 paragraph paraphrasing.
Their press release explains, that they are basically stimulating the mosquitos' own immune response and metabolism by playing around with the mosquitos' biological production of Akt signalling enzyme, it seems like were hoping to reduce mosquitos' life span by manipulating metabolic functions, and they got other interesting results:
Specifically, they engineered a piece of genetic code acting as a molecular switch in the complex control of metabolic functions inside the cell. The genetic construct acts like a switch that is always set to "on," leading to the permanent activity of a signaling enzyme called Akt. Akt functions as a messenger molecule in several metabolic functions, including larval development, immune response and lifespan.
It's something like saying computer hard drives never fail. That might be true, but the day you mistreat or fail to handle one properly, you may find out otherwise.
And how many times have BOPs been needed in real world use and not failed?
Statistics about the number of times they failed are meaningless, unless you also have stats about when they didn't fail.
And details about what kind of things might cause or allow them to fail.
I say the US needs a rule that suitable non-production relief wells (or a similarly reliable measure) need to be governmentally required to be 99% pre-drilled and verified for every new well to be brought into operation, so that they are ready to be deployed within a week if a BOP should fail.
And failing to do something like that is utter negligence.
No one can archive that, it's copyright by BP, i'm sure.
The spill, its appearance, and the cleanup/closing/capping are all very unique valuable pieces of art.
As (I guess we will likely find) will be all pictures of the spill, cleanup, etc.
Why do you think press are not allowed near it, and that all GIS info and airspace anywhere near the spill has been heavily restricted... to prevent aerial photography, of course.
There's only one good reason for that... to help protect BP's copyright and movie rights to the spill, all spill imagery, and all the book rights regarding the subject.
And finding any way around the restrictions would actually be a DMCA anticircumvention violation.
Actually they don't exist.
Everyone who got paid less than their previous job would like to claim underemployment, even if in fact, they really were not qualified for the higher paying job:-)
Or... we have too few employees willing to hire, because they have a (low) salary expectation that cannot be met by the available candidates to do their job.
Now hiring C# Developers, minimum 5 years of experience in C# development and project management, with deep understanding of C# sockets, multi-threaded programming, remoting, COM object interoperability, Firefox and Internet Explorer extension development, must have college degree, MCSD certification, and MCSE certification.
$8/hour.
Paid vacation and increase in pay available after 3 years of employment.
I go by nickname in real life all the time; lots of people know my nickname who have no idea what my real name is.
If someone tried to call me by my real name, chances are they wouldn't even get my attention.
Why should it be verboten to use a nickname on the web?
It doesn't make any sense.
I think i'd rather not sign my posts at all, than use a real name instead of a nickname.
My pen name is more real than my legal name, especially on the internet.
If I were to switch to my real name, none of my online acquaintances would recognize me.
Obviously Blizzard might have been informed about the rule early, or China could have been in negotiations, since they are a large company, so they could have the rule implemented on their forum systems ahead of the Chinese rule becoming public.
It would make sense in theory...
If it was the case, why was blizzard the only one?
No.. I don't think it has anything directly to do with Blizzard.
I'm afraid Blizzard might have given the chinese officials some ideas:-/
I'm sure the "Unique Names Rule" is not going to be far behind.
"Every chinese citizen must have a unique real name"
"Every name assigned to a child must be approved by the government, so it can be verified to be unique"
Every child born will also be assigned a permanent unique sequential code, in the form of a UUID, including a series of digits that represent the time of birth/registration, and a series of digits that represent the locality of birth, as well as a sequential serial number.
And every child shall be required to be permanently stamped and permanently implanted with a number of tags containing this number.
Every citizen must identify every internet comment post, blog entry, or web site with their unique
name and unversal citizen identiciation number (UCID).
10 years later... anyone on the street found not to be bearing a permanent number matching them in the database will be immediately taken into custody, and potentially brought up on charges for failing to be registered.

Obtaining a hellfire missile, or even thinking about firing one off is an airspace regulation violation.

So much for Apple's product being exceptional, one of a kind, and not like the other smartphones, eh?....
It's easy when you realize the truth. That there is no comment....
dang clippy

Try finding Aerial photography post June 13th.
There's a chance it could evolve to defeat that defense as well as a chance that the evolved version could be even more deadly.

Anyone in the corporation in charge who might have "empathy or remorse", also has a fiduciary duty to the shareholders.
That means they cannot make decisions based on personal feelings if they are contrary to the interests of the company.
They can and would be sued if they allowed their personal empathy to get in the way of making the financially correct business decision.
How would you feel if your real-estate broker caused you to sell your house for less $$$ because he felt empathy for a buyer?

Pictures do not exist. Pictures never existed.
There is no oil spill. There never was any oil spill.
But if your comment gets deleted and you were banned, then the cost becomes an unbounded amount of $$$ on average, per comment.

This is just clippy on steroids.
You pull out a Linux CD....
Milo responds: Hey, it looks like you're trying to install Windows, I can help you with that.
* Milo picks up Linux CD, shreds it, hands you a form to fill out to buy Windows 7 Ultimate-Super-Ultra-Awesome Edition
Yep, that's gotta be it.
along with undisclosed technology from Microsoft.
Now why wouldn't they want to disclose something so exciting as a revival of Microsoft Bob? :-)
I am very pleased with the answer too. Not to gloat or anything, but I told you so
Now we can move on to the really hard questions: If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?
If a BP oil well spews millions of gallons of oil, but nobody's allowed close enough to see it, does it really sully the water?
