How can consumers drive the market when not only are most ISPs local monopolies, but there are so many stealthy ways for ISPs to fuck with your connection? There's no choice, and no transparency, that's the whole fucking problem. If customers actually had real choice for their ISP, and could make informed decisions, then they would gravitate to the one who doesn't fuck with their connection.
Sanders is the only one out there who makes any sense, and he's an unabashed Socialist!
Oh my god, not a socialist! You do realize that the US has a ton of socialist programs already in place, right? Such as... Social Security, Medicaid, etc...
They just priced themselves out of being a mainstream peripheral that every gamer will get and into the niche of racing wheels and aircraft simulator MFPs.
Who else is going to submit evidence? The police. With proper chain of custody documentation, etc.
Awesome, so the cops are the only ones who are allowed to submit evidence? You're an idiot.
You know that whole 'beyond a reasonable doubt' thing? It is real.
Except a case like this wouldn't be held to such a high standard of evidence. This would probably be held to a preponderance of the evidence level. It's more likely that the video is real, seeing as you can see landmarks and there is no obvious signs of editing than he went out, bought a new drone just to fake a video and crash the drone himself....
Ah, so the 'testimony' of one person, who has every reason to lie, outweighs the testimony of two people who presumably had no reason to lie. Makes perfect sense.
The drone operator isn't on trial, not only that, eyewitnesses have been proven to be extremely unreliable, so: video evidence + person to testify of it's origins > two unreliable witnesses.
Either one of two things happened: it stopped recording when it hit the ground and the 3 seconds is the time it took to hit the ground, OR this video is edited and distributed to make the other side look guilty.
Really? Those are the ONLY two possibilities? And you know this how?
I already suggested a third possibility: it stopped recording when it hit a tree on the way down. A fourth possibility: the drone was knocked upside down by the shot and accelerated more than the normal force of gravity towards the ground. None of that matters.
The shooter admitted firing three shots. The initial hit is at 1:21 as evidenced by the sudden jerking motion that would be faster than the drones servos could operate.
How do you know it stopped recording when it hit the ground? It looked to me like it hit a tree of some sort before it stopped recording, but it's impossible to tell. What you can tell however, is that it was well above the tree line.
This was a CRIMINAL proceeding. Do you really think a court should accept as 'evidence' something provided by one of the parties involved?
Yes, it happens all the time. Who else is going to submit evidence?
Now maybe if the cops had confiscated the drone and controller
But that would be evidence from an involved party. The state is the one who charged the man.
The problem is not with the accuracy of the data, it is that the data is 100% unreliable.
You just contradicted yourself.
You have no way to prove that the data even came from the flight in dispute, or that the data was not tampered with in some way prior to being turned over.
Sure you can, you can have Boggs testify to its origins and if it was tampered with. I mean for fucksakes, the drone is clearly seen taking off with somebody in view, landmarks can be seen to identify the area, the drone clearly has a malfunction. This isn't a simple photoshop, it would have to have been completely fabricated from the beginning, an entirely new video, which this clearly isnt.
And idiots like you believe shooting down a drone hundreds of feet in the air, in a residential area, is acceptable.
A theif robs your home, you see him, but the thief gets away. Are you justified in shooting the person if the thief, 10 minutes later, walks down the sidewalk in front of your house?
Again, I wouldn't take it as being pin-point accurate, but it read 250ft altitude. That plus the video clearly proves the drone was well above the tree line.
If taken as a single data point I would agree with you, however, when you have the telemetry software saying it's well over 200ft, and the video shows the same, then the evidence clearly shows the witnesses were wrong. Obviously I wouldn't take them as being pin point accurate.
During Monday's hearing, Boggs testified that flight data showed the drone was flying higher than Meredith stated. But Judge Rebecca Ward says that since at least two witnesses could see the drone below the tree line, it was an invasion of privacy.
The judge decided to use witness testimony over factual hard evidence that the drone was over 250 feet in the air, well above the tree line. GJ idiot judge, this should be appealed.
When you loose the right to choose your own friends, what does that say about a society? These people need to wake the fuck up and statt living in the real world.
That is one lawyers opinion, there is no legal precedent of this, and I would argue that the only legal precedent that exists is the one cited in the article, Allen v. Academic Games League of America. The playing of board games and video games are fundamentally similar that I believe that precedent would stand if a court case were filed.
I always get concerned whenever a police captains/spokemen/union reps says something to the effect of "our first priority is going home safely at night". Police's first priority should always making sure members of the public go home safely at the end of the day.
Except police have no legal duty to protect the general public. The only time they must provide protection is if a person is in their custody, or they create the dangerous situation.
5 minutes per day, over 96 days, of productivity lost, is not the equivalent of a full day of productivity lost, even though the amount of minutes are the same.
Seriously, if you have security policies that are interfering unreasonably with your staff's ability to do its job
Until some drone with mapped server drives gets cryptolocker and gets everyone's files encrypted, and causes everyone to lose a day of work, then IT gets blamed for lacking security. Can't have it both ways, can ya?
Futureshop and BestBuy were literally on the same street, less than half a klick from eachother in my town. I never went to BestBuy because the one time I was there, the dumb blonde behind the counter berated me for buying the kind of keyboard I wanted.
Anyways, since Futureshop is closed now, I went to WorstBuy to see if I could get a 7200 rpm 2.5" HD, or an SSD of any kind. No SSD's anywhere, only 2 2.5" HD's, both 5400rpm. Crap... Then I passed by the cables because I needed a couple short ethernet cables. $25 for a 4' ethernet cable? Are you fucking shitting me? And these guys are complaining they're losing business.
Maybe if you fuckheads had shit people actually wanted to buy, at reasonable prices, they would buy it.

Sure is easy to say, but I bet you have been the beneficiary of social programs during your lifetime.

Good job guys for missing the entire boat.

Oh, it WAS used in court. FTFA:

The judge decided to use witness testimony over factual hard evidence that the drone was over 250 feet in the air, well above the tree line. GJ idiot judge, this should be appealed.
Are we all forgetting the video of the shot down drone? https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
It's clearly well above the tree line. Why was this not used in court?
Still no MIPS SGI emulators, I want my IRIX damnit!

Wouldn't this be a work for hire, since you're paying for it and it's being prepared to order?
Most inkjet manufacturers have been doing this for years!
