The submittor knew that hardly anybody would know what these random acronyms would mean, and the editors simply don't give a shit. Standard slashdot. Well played.
I believe the 3rd movie has been in the bowels of my Tivo's hard drive for a long time. I had just been afraid to watch it. Thanks for the recommendation, I will have to get to it.
You can dilute the pool to the point where it doesn't matter.
So to complete this analogy, simply release so much embarrassing stuff about so many people that stuff like this just blows over while the media finds another person to attack.
If you are a nobody, nobody will continue to care. If you are a somebody, everyone will find out anyhow.
The real question is, why does anyone care? Why do sites like TMZ, Gawker, and Buzzfeed exist? Why are reality show stars famous? You could say they are a product of our shallow society.
I don't have any solutions or suggestions. I guess I am just a prematurely old man ranting.
Photographers have been going through this for the last 10 years. Digital cameras are far easier to use than film cameras, and now everyone is carrying around a little camera around in their pocket. Some magazines and newspapers have fired all their in-house photographers hoping to cash in on "social media" and free content from their readers and users.
Photographers are dead! Everyone is a photographer!
Or not... an amateur with an iphone is not going to produce professional quality images. People pissed off that uncle billy did a shit job photographing their wedding get exactly what they deserve. Newspapers with shitty photographic content will die. (or continue to die)
Most browsers have a limit to the number of threads it will use, so with a lot of images and scripts and random stuff it is easily possible for ads to slow down loading resources.
You could call the police and lodge a complaint like a civilized person instead grabbing your gun and shooting randomly at everything that you don't like.
Yeah, the drone pilot was probably being a douche. Does this give people free reign to go randomly shooting at things?
How can you not know this. It used to be a major problem when phones had physical buttons that were easy to accidentally press. I always felt kind of sorry for my friend who's name starts with a "B". I had to add a bunch of "AAA" entries on my old fip-phone to prevent this.
Touch screen phones with unlock are much less susceptible, between unlock patterns and that a certain sequence of taps would need to be used in order to dial.
Had one of those bouncing around several thousand employees at a company I worked for. I don't even know why they had the mail server configured to allow to send to so many people. Probably lazyness on the part of IT.
It was repeated rounds of "TAKE ME OFF YOUR MAILING LIST" and "STOP HITTING REPLY ALL" (which was reply-alled, of course) And then people ironically sending the same just to piss people off.
It eventually took threats from someone in senior management to get people to quit it.
I am not talking about carrying a weapon in a car. I am talking about mounting one on top of the vehicle to be used while driving it. This is the better analogy to the drone in the article.
As awesome as it would be to have a belt-fed.50 on top of a truck... I think it should be illegal on public roadways, as there is no possible legal way to use it.
Now, if the vehicle is on private land out of sight (and range) of the public... go for it! I bet you could charge a fee and get some thrill seekers to have fun with it. As for transporting the weaponized vehicle from point A to point B... you would either need to store the vehicle in a trailer or disassemble the weapon from it.
I am sure there are more caveats that I have not thought of, but this is what makes sense to me.
Fair enough. I hope for hell it is without some kind of permit.
But a quick google search says it is in the same grey area as the drone. It simply doesn't happen often enough for there to be specific laws one way or another. Best thing people could come up with is that it would be "causing a panic." Which is pretty reasonable depending on how visible the weapon is.
Mounting a gun on my car and driving it around is illegal. Why should mounting a gun on my drone and flying it around be legal?
Now, if he was on private property and away from the public enough where the gun posed no danger to anyone... sure, knock yourself out. Same as driving a tank on private property. Flying it over public land or private property without permission, yeah that is a no-no. Same as your makeshift tank.
Now, if your backyard is sufficiently small, there may be no way to safely fly the thing. This is the grey area that the laws need to figure out.

Certainly not timothy.

This is exactly the movie you are looking for. And it is as awesome as you describe. (in a good way)
I believe the 3rd movie has been in the bowels of my Tivo's hard drive for a long time. I had just been afraid to watch it. Thanks for the recommendation, I will have to get to it.
The second one was not terrible, as direct-to-video movies go. Though it would have been better if they had dropped any references to the first movie.
It was not good enough for me to have bothered seeing the 3rd, though.
Instead he has taken up the profession of fighting anyone that criticizes his movies.

Here is why to be careful around quickly spinning objects when putting one on your space station.
I like this plan even better. They were interested in sex slaves, so lets just drop some robots on them.
So, instead of sending robots to kill ISIS, we send robots to rape them?
I am not entirely against this plan.
...so it's pretty much a guarantee that Flash and/or Silverlight are the safer bet

Op has a front-butt. (google search that term at your own peril)

If we don't laugh at the world... we will cry.
I wonder why this would be, though. We haven't sent people into space for long duration with gravity, so there is nothing to test against.
Perhaps it is not space at all, but constant exposure to an artificial atmosphere.

Just like with languages, use the best license for the job.
Of course you need to understand your tools and licenses in order to make a wise decision.
