    > "But I stand behind everything we built and everything we accomplished. No one has the data collection capability that we built. No one has the correlative, actuarial, data analysis capability that we built. And no one is able to do so, not just in real-time, but live, not even the 3 letter agencies."

    Hah, that's a load of bullshit. If any of that was true, you'd be selling to somebody, not shuttering the business.

    Well a non-trivial number of these guys are former military and so during that time, they just had some poor asshole who carried the radio and even if they used it, they never had to worry about encryption, it was somebody elses job.

    Moving at the speed of light, 13 microseconds is only 4 kilometers, at the speed most normal things move, you're looking at less than 10 millimeters.

    It's the editing cabals that are causing the decline. No new user will put up with that kind of bullshit and stick around.

    You know what one of the stipulations for that "prohibition" is? That model aircraft operators dont do stupid shit with them.

    > Woah there hold up, *I* never got in the way of any emergency responders. But *I* am now expected to register and pay of fee, so yea I am going to complain.

    Hey there, I dont drive stupidly, so why should I have to pay for a license?

  10. Re:About the weight requirement... on FAA Drone Rules May Already Be Outlawed By Congress (hackaday.com) · · Score: 2

    No, they're exactly the same. They dont weigh planes by subtracting how much lift the wings generate, so they wouldn't 'weigh' a dirigible with it's lighter-than-air ballast in it.

  11. Yeah, except on FAA Drone Rules May Already Be Outlawed By Congress (hackaday.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    That 2002 law saying they can't create regulations on model aircraft also have this stipulation:

    the aircraft is operated in accordance with a community-based
    set of safety guidelines and within the programming
    of a nationwide community-based organization

    Considering the whole reason these new regs were passed were because idiots weren't following safety guidelines, makes it a moot point. If the aircraft aren't being operated in accordance w/ safety guidelines the FAA is free to regulate the hell out of model aircraft.

    > There have been high net worth people in my family who have left their money and assets to various people , universities, and entities - WITH instructions on what was to be said with said inheritance.

    Did they put it in a trust, or did they just give them a check with "I'd like you to use it for $x?" If the former, then you need a better laywer, if the latter, then of course, that's not enforceable.
