Oh so he just used a tool (shotgun) to disable (obliterate) another tool. Sounds pretty reasonable...in America.
A tool, while could be also a weapon is not in its sole purpose a weapon. If he missed or caused other harm but I digress...a wise person (judge) found that it was reasonable.
What I'm very curious about is the precedent. So a drone above the property is fair game for a shotgun, how far above? how close? what if you only thought it was a drone but actually it was some other RC toy? -what if you mount the gun on a drone to shoot another drone?
As we are headed towards autonomous cars and most likely aircraft soon - what if the drone was the size of an aircraft?
A nation fed paranoia with various secret service departments that have a long history of immorality and dodgy practices and now they worry.
Perhaps I should they always worry, ney fear impending doom.
Not to worry, America are the good guys, right? because god bless America and uhm democracy and capitalism.
Oh wait a second, is this yet another media source to play on fears?! -"Concerns the US" having interviewed all major leaders they are very concerned.
This hammer on my desk has the capacity to be forcefully swung into a person's skull but no one is concerned....maybe it's time to assume "innocent until proven guilty" of others? you know because US officials are worried mistrust causes paranoia. -meh
It's about time we update bittorrent with better security/encryption and something less easily detectable.
We will all make our own net neutrality when everything is encrypted and nothing can be prioritised. Pros and cos but it's better than "net neutrality" IMO.
Telegram is one of those chat apps that is very secure, compared to WhatsApp etc.
Then create a secret chat from the group discussion to facilitate other proceedings and delete the chat (and evidence of it by default) once you're done.
Sure they must be happy...is it anywhere near what their paper figures use to be?
Once upon a time someone would buy a paper, read it and leave it on the train and someone else would have a glimpse of what the fuss is about...maybe they'd pay too if they wanted.
Before this slashdot article I had forgotten the NYT existed...
I'm not trying to convince anyone to stop using it. It's a fashion...like a fashion it will pass. It's a foregone conclusion...but what I am saying is that it's no use to moan about Facebook's policies or what have you. Use it (and thus consent) or not.
Like you indicated and experienced; real friends will not forgot you if you're not on Facebook. The rest are not a concern of mine.
I think a good starting place is to find what it is that you use Facebook for that is so irreplaceable...then find an alternative.
Use folder sharing on google drive...heck make your own cloud drive and share it on a password basis. Setup your own RSS feed or better yet learn to code an alternative that is satisfactory to you. Share your code, someone might add a feature, improve it or rewrite it and before you know if you might have something decent.
In-fact why hope? this has most likely already happened...when was the last time you looked for an alternative? -everything is a google search away.
Why are these groups constantly pandering to Facebook to change its rulership of willing victims?
Facebook is replaceable, Facebook is unnecessary and Facebook is not really social it is commercial.
This "social network" only helps large groups alienate people on a wider and constant scale. School bullying is only enhanced, stalking empowered and invasive misuse of information that can affect you long term by your employer, the government etc.
Using you real name is not protecting you. Making someone else use his real name does not protect you from them by being "accountable" that's hogwash.
Instead of trying to fix and make MySpace better what did we do? we moved one! -now many more people are realizing what Facebook is and now it's time to move on.
So many people have hundreds of Facebook friends and they do not even know who their neighbour is. Social my ass.
So really, all they need to do is create more special looking cars and block out possible creation of most future iterations of vehicles...the elephantmobile, the ninjamobile, the triturbomobile...and their "weapons" and...this is from decades ago.
MANY MORE people will start creating batmobiles and replicas of other DC comics things.
Thanks you DC comics for taking part in the same lowlife copyright troll activities so many of us loath. It will help my decision the next time I see a DC comics movie listed...
Some people do not know the actual brand of their toaster. they call it "toaster" rather than the "Skynet 9000 turbo bread bronzer".
It's a fucking toaster. The fact they confused it with the most widely known brand of toaster just happens. Like how "Centrino" was a CPU in some people's minds.
What are you talking about? genetically modified stuff should be labelled.
Are you suggesting that practically anything organic has been genetically modified "naturally"?! but GMO, artificial, organic, evolution, biology, god, atheists/mind_blown
Why bother with these "supercars" when they can easily buy FAR CHEAPER cars that have very similar specifications in terms of acceleration and speed for far less money?
Heck it would cost less to mod some Porsches or Audis.
Actually what is the point of these vehicles anyhow? they will not perform any TPAC, they will not go off-road so these are pursuit vehicles. If it's only pursuit then why not get 10x badass R1 bikes?
You know the list goes on...I wonder if apple truly invented anything at all...why most people buy into this garbage is really just a matter of observing chimps. One has a stick and a can and bangs the stick on the can, makes noise so everyone else wants it. they have no idea what to do with it but if you're a young woman with a slightly posh inclination chances are you have an iPhone. what do you use this magical device for? facebook.
Keep buying iThings and pay iPrices for devices made by exploited masses in China that cost a fraction of what you pay; get vendor lock-in, format-lock in sorry I mean "be part of the experience". Suckers.
Apple inventing and innovating, please...oh wait, didn't they invent rounded edges?
Slashdot Mirror
It was reasonable to me too, because it's in the US.
As you are a self-proclaimed European I can see how you might assume this relates to teen girls.

What does not concern the US.

Article? what article?
Would I be stupid enough to leave my home address near the murder weapon?!
I move to drop this investigation immediately it's obviously nonsense because I am a really smart person.
As you know, smart people do not do stupid things(tm)
You keep in-touch with tens of thousands of people?
Perhaps you are suggesting people need a soap box to feel like they matter more than they do...
Sure they must be happy...is it anywhere near what their paper figures use to be?
Once upon a time someone would buy a paper, read it and leave it on the train and someone else would have a glimpse of what the fuss is about...maybe they'd pay too if they wanted.
Before this slashdot article I had forgotten the NYT existed...
You see no viable alternative to keeping in-touch with people than Facebook?
I think the scope of the problem was not entirely clear to me until now...
I'm not trying to convince anyone to stop using it. It's a fashion...like a fashion it will pass. It's a foregone conclusion...but what I am saying is that it's no use to moan about Facebook's policies or what have you. Use it (and thus consent) or not.

Power it by the massive amounts of BS produced by politicians.
We can harness sunlight, wind and waves etc for electricity so this should be our next big step for green affordable energy.
So really, all they need to do is create more special looking cars and block out possible creation of most future iterations of vehicles...the elephantmobile, the ninjamobile, the triturbomobile...and their "weapons" and...this is from decades ago.
I see some flaws with this, do you?
MANY MORE people will start creating batmobiles and replicas of other DC comics things.

Did Sergey Brin go to computer camp?
How about Carly Fiorina or Sheryl Sanberg?
What is "computer camp" all about anyways? dumping your kid somewhere so you can have some time to yourself?
Maybe Wojcicki should ask her daughter which "camp" she wants to go to if any!?
Yeah we both know you're right...but if you task a some football knuckle-heads with something don't be surprised if they fumble.
Actually, don't be surprised if they take your tablet/iPad/Surface and shake it, sniff it and then take a bite.

Ahmed Mohamed, not white, made a home-brew device of some sort. -has anyone not noticed how paranoid, racist and over-the-top police in America is?
Sorry to tell you this Ahmed but you should get ready to be hand-picked in random selection in the future...
Clearly your brain sees something that said "FREE!" and you lunge.
What about the cost of insurance? the cost of repair? the cost of fuel? the cost of training?
Why bother with these "supercars" when they can easily buy FAR CHEAPER cars that have very similar specifications in terms of acceleration and speed for far less money?
Heck it would cost less to mod some Porsches or Audis.

These are not the upgrades you were looking for.
Nothing to see here.
Move along.

I have all the qualities such women love:
I'm slightly out of shape, I've slightly overweight, I'm bald, middle-aged, married and desperate to get laid but cannot afford a prostitute.
Are you seriously saying that the 22 year old professional playboy model, Courtney from L.A. isn't real??
...but she sent me pictures!
