Company "A" flies over my property with their new spiffy surveillance drone. I power on my manual shot gun and shoot the trash down. Who do I send the bill to for recovery of scrap found in my yard?
A lot of ego's have Trillions invested in Coal, Oil, and Natural Gas. But the economies to maintain these possessions are becoming to expensive. Renewable Energy's are the answer for the Energy Business Model to survive. But it's not free, and that's the choke point. Other organizations are switching to Renewable, with positive results; it's only a matter of time before the cost of Carbon becomes to much.
The biggest thing about Hybrids is that they are the beginning of weaning America off the OPEC.
And while we're on the Hybrid Energy topic; If all businesses, and homes used Renewable Energy Systems, then gamed power grid systems would be a gentle convenience.
I wish I could you mod you up. You have to love the irony. My question is, "its ok to expose millions of americans to radiation, unless they work for the TSA?"
First off, when an rank and file employee doesn't show up for work, investors don't care. When Founders, and Chief of-what-ever's don't show up for work, the rules change. Investors vote by shorting their stock. It causes the "wealth cream-skimmer types" to take notice; examples are Boards of Directors, and CEO's along with their attentive minions.
I don't know that much about UK Employment Law, but I'm on the receiving end of US Employment Law. Given that Noah Kravitz has a fairly competent lawyer, PhoneDog will get to pay for this waste of the Courts time. This is just harassment of an ex-employee by a corporation that has to pay for some large egos that are clueless about increasing revenues.
I have this vision of a Japanese Software Engineer sitting in the back of the room mumbling, "A Skynet solution approach? OK. This is what Skynet is, and this is were we are at. High! we could make this work!"

The Land of the Raising Sun is full of wonder, but the day of the Ronan is long past. There appears to be an classical arthritic choke point in Japanese culture that does not allow for information to travel UP TO policy makers. It appears that after the cluster fuck that is the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster, that those in charge of making policy do so in a "dark room," still. If the policy makers of Japan are so caviler about insulting the intelligence of their constituents, then the contempt for the people of planet earth is a fore gone conclusion.
There is definitely a trend in which the product purchased is managed not those who have pride in making a good product, but by those who would go to any lengths possible to take acquire all of ones wealth. Personally, I grow tired of products that remind me of grinning show offs.
One has to ask, "are these corporations publicly supporting SOPA?" The answer is becoming a resounding, "NO!" But what about privately? Proxy lawyers are just as lethal, but can be untrustworthy.
Just a thought, but I was under the impression that charging a fee for accepting a credit card for purchases was illegal. I guess some grinning show off at Verizon found a loop hole. Calling it a "convenience fee?" Go figure.
I think the kids working on this project should audit a aviation ground school class; the issues of successfully landing are covered there extensively. Throw in some Piezo Transducers for object feedback, and some redesigning the wings to change "angle of attack" for SLOWING DOWN, and this project could start to show some promise.
To the kids on this project, "don't give up, complete it." You're heading in the right direction.
After viewing the youtube clip my first reaction was that it would have been useful if the feedback sensors would be mounted on the craft. Possibly on the next prototype? Maybe the kids doing the project should ask their mentors about the mechanics of a Polaroid Land Camera. Then come back and demo their craftsmanship in the field of work that their journeymanship will be in. All in all, a nice demo.
The problem I see as most compelling in robotics of ANY form, is the Battery. All of these robotic designs have been around for years. But the choke point to date is the energy container, the battery. Until this bottleneck is expanded, then these other designs will always end, with a question.

My personal view is that when I'm on my death bed, I don't think I'll be wondering, "I wish I had more time, to work."
I think I'll put CNN on speed dial. I may not get much done when MIB's show up for awhile.
I can't help but wonder if playing paint ball tag on an unmarked drone flying around on my property wouldn't be "entertaining?"

My conversion to Solar, and Wind isn't about Climate Change, it's about Energy Bill, it's due the first of every month.

IMHO, I guess so, but an environment engineered to handle plants seems more useful. There's more to space travel, than space travel.
My Botany is a little old, but don't plants use CO2, and generate O2 as a by-product?
Also, if Solar, and Wind energy's were used, wouldn't the day to day carbon burning be impacted? Southern California Edison Electric thinks so.
Just 2 things came to mind:
If you can't find your disk drive, look upstream.
My eyes cross at how one is going to "spawn" a "backup."
I'm sorry, that thought was just wrong, and its my fault.

I can quit drinking coffee anytime I want! Not just now.
It sounds like Survivors Syndrome was very cruel mistress to the kind doctor.

I am hoping that history doesn't rhyme.

GoDaddy's "throttling" of account information speaks volumes. Is GoDaddy's business model fundamentally corrupt? You have to love the irony.
