No it the correct term , razor wire or Barbed tape, and it really nasty shit to work with. the barbs are angled so the dig it at the slightest contact and trying to remove one barb often digs in the opposing barb. Then to take thing from bad to worst any movement, yours or even the wind causes the roll to quiver, which causes the barbs to alternately dig in farther and farther. If you know your going to be on concertina detail you just automatically put on your shankiest uniform and you most trashed out boots, because what ever you wear, it's going to get shredded.
I thought that at least a few of the bars were were hollow with a smaller bar inside, when you cut through the outer bar the inner bar would just roll with the blade, stopping you cold; of course this could just be an urban legend to discourage escape attempts. Prison escape is really stupid any ways, your unlikely to succeed for very long, when your recaptured they add on another 10 years for the escape if you survive capture, they usually make the escape penalty sequential not concurent, and they tend to not give you credit for time served so you might have to start from scratch on the original sentence; then for the icing on the cake you go to a Max or Supermax.
So what basically can someone do with a Quadracopter and a 4K camera at 30 feet that can't be done with a modern 24M pixel camera with vibration reduction and an ultralight at 500 feet?
My hunch is this guy, Merideth is borderline Oppositional-Defiant Disorder with a healthy dose of narcissism thrown in and the drone operators were being creepy/voyeuristic and working the edge as close as possible without going over. When you get into the lounge with a couple guys who own Airplanes, it only take a couple drinks and a little time before they start talking about where the hot nude sunbathers layout, or the nudist colony that isn't advertised is.
It hard to say what sources of imagery Google is using, Google Earth was
Google Earth is a virtual globe, map and geographical information program that was originally called EarthViewer 3D created by Keyhole, Inc, a Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) funded company acquired by Google in 2004 (see In-Q-Tel). It maps the Earth by the superimposition of images obtained from satellite imagery, aerial photography and geographic information system (GIS) onto a 3D globe. Google Earth
Keyhole satellites are basically a Hubble Space telescope looking at the ground, the capabilities of resolving somewhere around 15cm, add to that aerial photography, my point still stands, Google Earth is way beyond a pixel resolution of 31cm panchromatic imagery.
Nobody really knows for sure whether the drone was over Merideth's property ogling his girl or not, Merideth isn't going to say he shot it down outside is property lines and the operators aren't going to say they were hovering and photographing his daughter.
Sorry to break the news to you, but Google Earth is way beyond those specs, I can easily see my mailbox, bing is even higher in many places by using aerial photography to supplement the satellite imagery. Do you think if the Police can use thermal imagery to look through the walls or roof of a house without a warrant, because it's visible from the public street or airspace, that a privately owned quadracopter would be held to a higher standard?
Because when you do need the Militia, it'll be too late to get the guns; better to have them and not use them than to need them and not have them. Look at Switzerland 8.2 million, everybody is required to have an assault rifle and they have the lowest per capita murder rate in the world verses Honduras, 8.2 million and the strictest gun control laws on the planet and their murder rate is the highest.
First even in American, a weapon that is fired by an electrical solenoid is considered a machine gun and requires a special tax stamp that is both expensive and difficult to get. Armed civilian aircraft is also against he law. Second the American, Federal Aviation Agency, has jurisdiction over aircraft operating in the US and they classify quadracopters as a UAS, Unmanned Aerial System, just like any other "RC toys". These "RC toys" can represent investments of 10 thousand of dollars, a gas turbine engine can be almost $5,000, so many are hardly toys.
Unmanned Aerial Systems are restricted to airspace below 400 ft. It is recommended that UAS not fly within 25 feet of people, not fly over buildings or large groups of people. If a UAS is operated in a manner that compromises personal rights such as saftey or property there are ways too file a complaint that doesn't include felonious interference of an aircraft opperation.
The County Judge dismissed based on the notion of protecting one's privacy, yet I'm not sure one has a reasonable expectation of privacy when outdoors; I googled Merideth's address on Maps and could quite clearly see his backyard, the swimming pool and the deck where his daughter was sunning herself from satellite photos! People frequently confuse concepts like privacy, anonymity and being unnoticed, even Judges.
Bullets don't just automagically disintegrate when they miss their target. Setting a precedence that it Okay to shoot legally operating aircraft out of the sky just because you think they maybe violating someone's erroneous sense of privacy, is also a bad idea; should I be able to shoot at the crop-duster flying over my neighbor’s soy beans because I can see it through my bathroom window?
Maybe it's time for the Feds to come in and charge Merideth with Interfering With the Operation of an Aircraft. If there is this big a brouhaha over a toy quadracopter, can you imagine the chaos if we ever get flying cars?
Mean while in other news, A Kentucky Police Officer Arrested a man, Wiber T Redneck, for shooting a Woman, Sheila Busybody, who was video recording him beating his Wife in their front yard, from her property across the street. Redneck's wife decline to press charges against her husband, stating "Wilber isn't too bad a man when he isn't on the moonshine and I need him working to help feed our 6 kids." Redneck was released from jail on charges of shootin' Busybody as Redneck was on his own property defending his privacy.
Hillary Clinton is about the only person who can get away with get away with mishandling TOP SECRET information without going to Leavenworth for 20 to life; so it's not that surprising. Would you want to live like Manning, Assange or Snowden?
Sony was the big kahuna in tape recording for music or broadcast. they had the patents, so if you watched or listened to it, it was recorded with at least a few pieces of Sony equipment or at least some Sony licenced technologies. All of those photos of pregnant women's sonograms was likely printed on a Sony video printer.

I will not knowingly pay for another Sony product or one of their derivatives and that includes media. I don't usually boycott much of anything but fuck Sony. I'll go without.
With Sony that means that you can not watch or listen to any entertainment of any kind, and just about any kind of medical imaging as well, especially if it is printed, Sony has it's roots that deep.
My understanding is that the Stock Video owner Mitch Martinez makes high quality background videos. Martinez enter into a licensing agreement with Epic Records a Sony subsidiary and supplied Epic Records with a background video for a videotaped music performance. The Sony bot crawling Youtube.com saw Martinez's stock footage posted there and correctly identified it as the same as in the Epic Records video, Sony then without performing adequate due diligence issued a take down notice with youtube and thereby breaching the terms of the licence and thereby committing copyright infringement by distributing a derivative work of Martinez's video without licence and defaming Martinez by claiming he was distributing copyrighted works without licence.
What people don't realize is the Colt M1911A1 replaced the saber in many cases and it was replaced itself in 1985 with a sidearm that only lasted 30 years. The M4 just didn't have the stopping power needed for combat in an up close and personal that guy is going to kill me if I don't cut him in half situation; replacing the M1911A1 with the M4 is like replacing a rifle-mounted bayonet with a folding pocket knife. I wouldn't argue if some said that an M1911A1 wasn't a good service weapon for civilian police, but the Military has a much different mission.
Why is that a bad thing? Isn't the whole point of tips to reward good service?
Originally it was, but now
The American federal government requires a wage of at least $2.13 per hour be paid to employees that receive at least $30 per month in tips. If wages and tips do not equal the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour during any pay period, the employer is required to increase cash wages to compensate.
most restaurateurs will fire anyone who doesn't claim enough in tips to cover the minimum wages under the guise they are obviously under-serving the clientèle. The ultimate effect is the waite-staff is forced to either pay taxes on wages they might not have earned or be fired. On the other hand, few will claim the full amount if they are over, but this screws them if they ever have to file for unemployment.
So yes you should tip some even if the service is crappy (if a couple bucks is too much, you shouldn't be eating out anyway) , and tip more if the service is good.

still taking actions against creators after they filed a counterclaim, which have not been found by court to be infringing.
Not been found as in the court heard arguments and rendered an opinion, heard arguments and decline to offer an opinion or never heard arguments?
