    So 60 MPH gusts like I had yesterday is naught?

    Theft of packages is sight driven, they see the package, they steal the package, but - and this is the hard part for fucking dipshits to understand so pay attention, if it's between a screen door and the door - - and this is the clever part - It's not VISIBLE to a passing thief!

    WOW Huh, Wholda thunk???

    So when you have very windy days, what happens?

    Also, for delivery in crime areas, how does the drone open your screen door and put the package in between your front door when you aren't home?

    What about winter weather, when it's blustery, snowing hard - are they just going to sod off a delivery when there's only clear weather?

    And during thunderstorms, are the packages going to be water proof? How much is the added cost to make it not only delivered whenever the weather allows it, but also to ensure that the package itself can withstand the elements) no more cardboard).

    Need it overnight? Well, that's going to increase in cost cause when they fire folks so drones can do the job, the last guy left is going to be real expensive to go the last mile.

    When I moved back to the burbs from the country, I was one of those guys with a riding lawnmower - had an acre and a half to cut before, and a normal lot now. I wasn't going to rush out and buy a new mower just because I had less lawn to do.

    If they have it when you show up, then any of them. I picked a pirates of the carribean movie disney last month for a buck. They did have little mermaid, but I bought that years ago.

    But that's not the point. The point is the copyright holders didn't make a dime from me, and I get the movie legally.

    Sure, they don't have the full catalog everyday, but patience, time and visiting goodwill and pawn shops and you'll eventually find it and more (like my laser disc copies of the first three star wars movies) .

    You are missing something important.

    I do not buy when copyright owners make money. But I will routinely go to the pawn shop where they sell used DVDs for a buck each.

    Same as pirating only legal (you DO pay for internet access right?).

    An API transfers a variable to a function or sub. Remote app says Hello, it's dumped into the function waiting for labas. Function takes the expected input and returns the result to the calling code.

    The analogy wasn't simple enough.

    Here's what I would of said.

    "Ok, so I want to say hello to someone that doesn't speak my language, so I get an interpreter.

    I say "Hi" and the interpreter turns to the person I want to speak to and says "Labas" (they are Lithuanian) the person who hears "Labas" replies with "Laba Diena" and the interpreter turns to the guy who said Hi and says "good Day to you"

    The interpreter is the API - and then go on to explain the case.

    Hog Island, New York - I'll be amazed if any of the Man Made climate change folks knew about it before frantically googling it.

    The climate is changing. Eventually we'll lose Lake Michigan because the topology of the area will continue to revert to pre ice age conditions. I won't be alive when Illinois is tropical again. Growing up in Lockport , Illinois and seeing the shale with fossils embedded sorta made me look farther than less than 50 years of data.
