    I dont think they are as efficient of a power source as nuclear, and are probably as dirty as coal.

  3. Re:Just a few seconds to react on Watch a Lockheed Martin Laser Destroy a Missile In Flight · · Score: 1

    not all missiles have to reach the ground to deliver their destruction. This seems to be most useful at a distance from the target, in between the suspected launch point and target. Depending on the range of motion, that could nearly double the amount of time to destroy the missile. Like you say, this may require slowish missiles, and a somewhat low trajectory to stay in range. Still, portable tracking, aiming, and power is impressive.

    you really cant figure out that such an absurd response isnt serious? I guess all those whoosing noises in your like make it hard to think.

    it must be a tourist-y thing. The atlanta aquarium has a theater that does this. The water spraying just pissed me off. The shaking seats were actually pretty cool, especially the first time. a big 3-D something coming out of the screen, with a big boom from teh speakers, while the seats give you a big jolt can add something, but I imagine that moderation is very important

  14. Re:What Red Hat own't tell you... on Red Hat Launching Its Own Community Distro of OpenStack · · Score: 1

    to be honest, when that happened to me it was a long time ago, and the few calls that I have made since then have been much better. It doesnt change the fact that having gone through this makes me use a support call as a last resort, and doesnt really put the paid support model as a reason to do business with them over a free version of centOS.

    I did have a call like you are saying about 2 years ago, involving tracking TCP windows through vmware, and both companies had a very talented engineer on the phone with me very quickly, and we got to the heart of the problem quickly. I think this help was mostly as the issue was very interesting and not just the mundane repetitive crap that support calls tend to be.

    even if this were the true question, paid for support doesnt require that the purchaser have great competence.The help desk should still be able to answer the question and then vent amongst them selves at a company picnic.

    so this is my same question. If it is already illegal to do certain things with cameras, then what new law do we need because it can be "on a drone". This is the same as patents for everything where the only difference is " from a computer" .

  22. so what is different on Eric Schmidt: Regulate Civilian Drones Now · · Score: 4, Insightful

    My neighbors can currently buy a camera and watch me from their property. They can have slightly more visibility for some angles from the air. If the noise is the issue, you can already call in complaints on that , and police will help you remove the nuisance.

  23. Re:And... it's gone on North Korean Missile Raised To Firing Position, Says US Official · · Score: 1

    this would be devastating for the people of NK, but possibly not so much for the leadership. The leaders are already starving the population, and there is little electricity for the people, so they wont know if they are suffering for the war effort. Our fun weapons would make the countryside into a mudpit very quickly, but that wouldnt change things very much. That could make the war very difficult as the leaders have shown they dont care if the population suffers, and we cant make it much worse for them. The religious fervor surrounding the ruling family may take something drastic like the end of WWII to convince the people to quit the nonsense.

    At this point I dont think that pointing weapons counts. It is all rhetoric, and until something gets launched , and possibly actually detonates in a population center, then the US will not be forced to act. You dont put a hand on a petulant child until you are actually preventing harm, and words and missile launchers do neither.

    I agree that the actions are more to impress people in his country than actually convince anyone outside. That makes everything fairly safe, as he can say what he wants without a real threat of pre-emptive action from the US.

  25. Re:And... it's gone on North Korean Missile Raised To Firing Position, Says US Official · · Score: 1

    not worried, as this scenario keeps playing out the same way. NK makes threats because they want money and food. They do strange things to force the issues, because they dont have any other bargaining chips. My only worry is that no one believes the rhetoric anymore, and the last leader, while insane, was very savvy. We just dont know how the son will behave, especially when his rants get ignored.
