Oh and the range is line of sight sure, but I know on the Dx6i (Common R/C controller) has a range of over a km. The dx6i costs about 100 dollars and runs off of AA batteries. Extremly capable and economical. You could go up to the dx8 if you wanted, with more features and longer range. That would be about 250 for the controller at that point.
Not really. You can purchase a R/C heli that can carry the weight of a camera for about 250 dollars in a RTF (Ready to fly) kit.
Batteries are about 10 bucks a pop and give you about 10 to 15 minutes.
You get a thousand dollars together. and you can have quite the R/C heli that will give you plenty of flying time with as far as the operator can see as the flight range.
Make that about 5 grand and I bet you can get one that you can view the camera live. That is the upfront cost, the cost after that in inconsequential.
The only reason they do not use the heli to spy on people, is because it is cost prohibitive. The claim is removing that cost, will allow them to abuse the tool. Much like tasers are often abused by police officers.
Before the permissible searches, it would be unlikely to see the valets going through the trunks. There is bound to be an honest valet, or a video camera somewhere that would notice the teenager rifling through your junk.
Now all of the valets are going through trunks. It is no longer suspicious to see them doing so, which opens up opportunity to steal and not get caught.
You cannot open my trunk with a key. There are three ways to access the trunk.
Remote FOB. That will not work cause I am not giving that to a valet.
Button next to drivers see (Electronic)
Open back seats.
The back seats lock closed. Requires the regular key to open, valet does not work.
The Trunk button is disarmed inside the glove box, which also locks closed, valet key does not work.
If I shut off the trunk release, lock the back seats and not give the fob to the valet the only way to open the trunk is through force, or perhaps some sort of master fob.
You should be ashamed of yourself. You really should. If you do not have the time or inclination to backup your views with at least something, then don't bother to participate in the conversation.
I am not agreeing or disagreeing with you, but post something besides "Durr go look it up"
I pull over for emergency vehicles, because it directly impacts someone on their way to help someone. I ignore amber alerts because well at 4AM I am no help to anyone, and waking me up will not assist in your search.
I am not driving around at 3AM. I will be of no use in any search as I plan to go back to bed. The alert is being shut off, along with all of the other alerts.
Ohh BTW great job with the "THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!1!" mentality there.
Yes but for a while there you could not sign up without a facebook account. I believe that has changed, although not before I chose Slacker radio instead.
12 dollars is overpriced for something that has no physical media.
If I pay you 12 dollars I want a CD. I will not pay 12 dollars for a "License" to listen to it. Instead I will pay 12 dollars to Slacker radio and listen to whatever I want all month long.
I agree that artists should make more money per listen then they currently do. What you need to realize is that the customers are not your enemy. The fat cat skimming 90% of the profit off the top IS your enemy.
Once artists start taking up the view point that customers and potential customers are the enemy, then they alienate the people that they need the most, the ones willing to pay for music.
If you shut down (or it crashes) explorer.exe the GUI does stop functioning for the most part. You can though hit Win-R to get the run box. Then you type explorer.exe and it restarts. If Win-R fails, Alt-Crtl-Del then open the run box from the File menu. I have also seen explorer restart itself after a crash, so that may not even be needed.
I have never seen a DOS prompt when explorer crashes.
If you wish to support something indirectly that goes against your views, that is your prerogative. Just because you do something that others feel is stupid, does not mean you get to call others names for not doing as you do.
I do not want my money going to someone who may use that money against causes I support. I will not support anything that will funnel my money to that person.
That is a reasonable position to hold, and I am well within my rights to refuse to support those causes no matter how indirect. Get over yourself.
If the data he released was false, like has been claimed, then the data was not stolen, it was fabricated, and this whole thing is to go after a "liar." If the data is true and it was stolen, I think the government has some splaining to do, and they are using the manhunt as a distraction.

I guarantee the R/C pilot is cheaper then real pilot, probably by orders of magnitude.
I probably should have posted the link, my bad. http://www.ebay.com/bhp/helicopter-live-video
Correction, you can get live video for about 110 dollars w/o shipping.
It has been a while since I looked.

To be honest, it wasn't the greatest outcome for either side.
They often beat innocent people.

It will probably be a different valet that parks the car then the one that retrieves it. Although I agree with you in principal.
What a shitty response.

It is a democratic republic. It may also be called a representative democracy.
My answer? It is secret. Government is allowed to keep them, so am I.

They can profit, they just wont profit from me.

I refuse to give money to someone who may use that money to fight against equal rights for all.
You may refuse to give money to anyone who ticks you off as well. I will not berate you for that.
Loosen up that tin foil a little, I think you are cutting off blood flow.
