You should care because it means that a random political science professor can hang a camera off a drone and get data.
If I was so inclined I could drop less than $1k and buy a prebuilt drone that will run rings around this guy's drone - something that will fly a GPS plotted course and linger at various waypoints while it beamed back video. All I am seeing here is that I should pat this guy on the head, smile and go "aren't you a good boy!"
And what I should have added was that if the company doesn't want to renegotiate the contract then the OP is SOL. It takes two to tango, but if one party doesn't want to then you have to suck it up. Its all about power. As one poster put it.. the people who write the contract have the power.
Disagree and you may think I am splitting hairs.. but renegotiating is crafting a new contract.. not negotiating terms on a contract that has been signed.
It's not possible to have one gripe with your current job while still enjoying it?
To say "I like my job, but there is this major part of it I want to change" is self deluding. Once you get past that then you can see what is really important to you.
So basically they have you by the short and curlies. But if you do try to hide stuff and manage to make it big time - hope that you make enough to hire a decent lawyer who will tie your current employer in knots. I hear that East Texas can be friendly for that sort of litigation.
OTOH you can always delve into IP that while legal, would be the sort of thing that your current employer would find repulsive. What was that link again? 1 girl, 2 D sized cups???
But one final comment. You say that "I am very happy with my current job", but given that you are trying to circumvent your employment contract I'd argue that you are not happy with your current job.
My online dating profiles of course. You see by posting profiles that are completely full of lies I have totally side stepped the security issue! There is no way that anyone can trace my profiles back to a real person.
So nyah nyah nyah to all you suckers how put your real photos and descriptions out there in public - you'll never know who has your information now, while I'm free of any worries at all.
(But please don't remind me that I am posting on/. on a Saturday night)
What happens in 4 years time when the IRS wants to do an audit on your 2011 return and makes the request "Show us the receipts"? Likewise for any legal document under the sun. Sure its great to have scanned copies, but I bet that there is still a requirement to back them up with the paper originals
("oh look, I just found he document giving me ownership of slashdot. Pity its worthless")
Zero g as in dropping the 'g' off 'knitting' . It was interesting that he kept the g for orbiting, always dropped it for knittin, but there was one other word that I heard him say where he dropped the g. Is this an indication of when and where he first learnt these words? Or is it just lazy pronunciation, and he can get away with saying knittin, but not orbitin?
What is the command in BASIC for calling someone? The closest I can think of is GOSUB, but I'm afraid that's not going to pull the trick.
I think if you want to be pulling tricks, then you need to get people to be calling you. So you'll need to advertise your number with something like a "PRINT". And then repeat that lots of times to try and get past all the people flagging you on CL
You'd simply have to line the spaceways with construction lights like they use on freeway work. Just make sure to put them out the day before they are needed. Otherwise its lights all the way down.
Hmm in hindsight.. "Member" doesn't sound like I meant it to. I meant a member of the Greens party and not a Member for the Greens. Sorry for any confusion.
How many Aussies will take to the streets after reading this?
Well after seeing the story here I forwarded it onto my cousin who is a state member of the Greens. So I can say that at least 1 politician will have seen it.
A commercial building is still a commercial building whether it looks like an office block, a play ground, a mansion or a church. As far as I know zoning laws restrict usage based on usage and not looks. And I'd imagine that the local residents (in their high priced gated community) wouldn't like strangers running in and out to service this business.

And why should I care?
And yes I did read the Wikipedia article.
Now, if we could get the folks who market everything to anyone to stop using sexually suggestive images . . .
Sadly I have to go with FTFY
But the part he finds flawed might not be big enough to make him dislike the job as a whole.
But until he can admit that his overall job package is flawed (ie it is more restrictive than what he wants), he really can't seek an honest solution.
Sorry, but you are completely wrong.

Have there been any public trials?

There is a wealth of scientific research about G dropping.
The more you know! That was a fascinating read. Thanks for my new word of the day: Phonology.
Its not like Apple hasn't changed CPU architectures before. 68K->ppc->intel and if you want to count the Apple II, you can also include 6502->68k

I guess I can no longer count on my plan to sell copies of Wonder Woman's invisible jet to make my billions.
Thats why I am taking a leaf from Zynga and intend to sell copies of the Amazing Maiden's Optically Stealthy Turbofan Aerial Craft!!!
How will this work at night?
You'd simply have to line the spaceways with construction lights like they use on freeway work. Just make sure to put them out the day before they are needed. Otherwise its lights all the way down.
At last, our technology is starting to catch up to 1940s cartoons! I can't wait for my portable hole...
Yeah .. but just watch out for the Rabbit in drag.
Mother of All Bombs... I think the new one should be Father of All Bombs (FOAB)
That name's already taken Father Of All Bombs
Was that video narrated by Siri's english cousin?
Of course You can afford to
Pay for quality
You're the Pope!!
you probably bathe in a golden bathtub..
I'd be really worried though if he was bathing in a golden shower
