I knew an old geezer who worked for a small government contracting shop who would program his 1802 designs in *MACHINE CODE*, not assembler, but actual machine instructions. He was always the life of the party.
Causing a rapid decrease in air density directly under the drone should cause it to drop precipitously for a few seconds. The "how" is left as an exercise to the reader.
I went from dicking around with Event Sockets for about a week to getting an ESL perl script going in a day. Now I'm refactoring it by referring to other ideas elsewhere in the same book. Money well spent.
Wul, you know the north pole...the magnetic north is actually the south pole. And the south pole is actually the north pole. I mean, it depends on if you're speaking of the north magnetic pole...the north magnetic pole of the Earth is actually the south...or the north-seeking pole, or which is actually the south pole of the Earth. So you have to look at it that way, too, thar.
Please elaborate on how this works, particularly how the equipment change figures into it? I assume if they claim equipment problem/change they only have to hand out vouchers instead of monetary compensation? I'm not familiar with the fine print and not a frequent flier.
What if you're a pleasantly plump driver with your generous thighs squeezing against the steering wheel, how will the automation be able to steer the thing??
Where would you say the current state of the art stands in home automation and control?
I used to run some lights in my house on X10 but I'm suspicious of modern systems that all seem to depend on "The Cloud " to work their magic. I want my stuff hosted entirely here and nowhere else.
Florida voters narrowly (and surprisingly, to me) defeated a constitutional amendment that was funded by Florida Power & Light and other very interested parties that would have made it difficult and expensive to install solar power in the home. A rare victory for common sense in Florida.
Google tells me that a ballot initiative by the Good Guys failed to achieve enough signatures to make the 2016 ballot (due to some scam artistry by the polling company they hired) so they will try for the 2018 ballot.
I'm not comfortable with amending the Constitution for something as specific as this, but I suppose they figure the legislature could be bought out by the incumbent power companies if it were a mere lowly law on the books.
Here in the United States it seems to be a career for some "hams" to cause harmful interference to legitimate communications, especially during nets to aid victims of natural disasters or other directed nets. Lowering the barriers to entry has allowed people who have no life to make misery for the rest who have one.
Then there are those with this bunker mentality (are we calling them "preppers" now?) who put up repeaters with restrictive access so that only the chosen few (usually only the owner himself and his 1 or 2 friends) can use it, everyone else can go to hell.
But go ahead and sing the praises of how ham radio operators help their fellow man, it sounds good anyway.
I'd be surprised if you could find 10 hams who actually know enough about the communications technology to get anything through these days. They're mostly appliance operators any more, so the days of cobbling together a radio from some banana peels and discarded metal sunglasses are long gone I'm afraid. Take away their repeaters and Internet links and they are as helpless as the cops and firemen.
I don't give a shit about this kind of shit. I want this stuff stopped! I could not sleep last night cause my phone kept ringin all night long. And I'm very pissed off and I'm very pisturbed!
As one who has been burned by the inability of Windows to recover properly from hibernation, I just go right ahead and shut down. Next time I need it I know I'm getting a clean boot, not some corrupted version of the OS with funky looking screen and partially working subsystems.
I assume from context that you all are describing linux, but for those coming from the Windoze world it's once bitten, twice shy.

These things all have the same solution: restore from your daily backup, which should not be pushed from the machine in question
If the backup is not "pushed" from the machine in question, then how is the backup created?
Or do you mean don't backup the infected/ransomed machine AFTER it has been infected?

Maybe the warnings should be FAXed to the law firms, then they'd take this seriously!
But at least Nokia is not chicken.
What are these "parties"??

I'm sure a little green to grease the palms at the FAA keeps things greener for the airlines so I don't expect this loophole to disappear.

My Motorola X-10 bag phone still works fine. Motorola has not released a firmware upgrade for it in decades so I assume it has been perfected.
29 states plus the District of Confusion have laws that penalize so-called "faithless electors". You can look it up.

One thing's for sure, this has been one long, painful, throbbing election that has lasted a hell of a lot longer than 4 hours!

Required reading for IoT foibles, trials, and tribulations:

"IoT manufacturers are terrible" about building security, usability, and reliability into their products as a fundamental design goal.
But sure, let's blame the customers. Assholes.

Oh, I LOVE it! Why, just now I find myself sitting on my butt reading this whole thread, for example.
