I mean, are these guys working on this between Star Wars Battlefront matches, or when they get burned out collecting items in Fallout 4? I mean, 15 years is a long time, so there had to be some sort of routine to this, right? What about when Everquest was popular, did that push this out for an extra five years or what?
Depends, many cases have gone the sexual harassment route and won. But it has to be overtly harassing, and not a one time off handed remark. If someone is being completely vile and screaming anti-LGBT stuff at you, cases have been won.
Hobbyists and actual stores call them Quadrocopters. It's mostly media that didn't want to put that into print and thought drone was good enough that did this. Or the OP in this case.. None of those linked stories even call it a drone, they call it a gadget.
I hope the first thing they do is define what a drone is and isn't.
Drones as we know them today are generally car-size, and can be fully automated on demand.
I'm tired of seeing a quadrocopter, which is no different than an RC helicopter or RC airplane being called a drone.
If someone wants to fly a 1 ton automated aircraft, then by all means, make them register them.
If they want to fly a small RC toy, or even something as large as a golden retriever, then no. It's just considered a remote controlled craft that has been legal to fly since... decades and decades and decades.
I'm not sure if I'm agreeing with you or not. But Wolf3D, Doom 1/2, and Quake all required top of the line PCs at the time. These games didn't run on anything considered average back then. These games in particular DROVE the industry to release faster chips. When Doom was released, most people had a 386, and it would run, in a tiny frame. But those who owned 486s, they could play it reasonably fine. When Doom 2 came out, it would play "okay" on a 486/33 but it really shined on a 486/66 which was out of reach for most people, and certainly out of reach for the 386 users. I remember saving forever to finally get a 486 dx4 100mhz and it played Doom 2 and Descent as awesome as you could expect. It was top of the line. The very first Pentiums were just being introduced.
Then Quake alpha came out. You needed a Pentium. The DX 4 100 couldn't play it for crap. Soon after the 3D card market exploded, again, thanks in part to iD Software.
So, seeing a game such as Batman wanting top of the line might not be ordinary today, but back then, every big game demanded it.
Why not? Why not just push for a full NHS like Europe at this point instead? No one should have to be paying for health care in this country, we're far too wealthy to let such basic services go unchecked. This is a start, not the best, but a start. Everyone I know has been denied health care because they had migraines, a colonoscopy, high blood pressure, and even sinus problems. The industry only wants to insure people who will never go to the doctor. It's a ridiculous situation.
I really love the "How about this - why don't we do something deliberately, in a planned fashion, that has wide support in society?" quote. Half the country wants to cover everyone, and doesn't think money should be a consideration when it comes to health care. The other 50% think people should simply DIE if they get sick. Period. There is NO "wide support" for either side, and there NEVER WILL BE. Until the other half the population quits screaming about every stupid event of the day, and actually decides to show some compassion towards the poor and unfortunate, this will NEVER HAPPEN.
So then we have this: "How about we just don't throw crap to say we did something?" Which is EXACTLY what happens when you have people screaming and not working together. This is what you get. It's the ONLY way to move forward at this point.
This is the Republicans Alamo. They see the writing on the wall with Texas turning blue in the next decade. The gerrymandering can only go so far when your entire state starts to turn completely liberal. There is not much else Republicans can do to keep from losing power and becoming irrelevant at this point, so they want to try and reset the country in hopes everyone will just get angry at Obama.
You should see all the blatant racist policies that have gone into effect. We are ranked #49 on economic growth, yet the supporters are running that in the past 45 days we are ranked 3rd in economic growth in the midwest THANKS GOVERNOR WALKER!!! It's so so bad.
Instead of creating their own in-house private cloud linked through their own private facilities linked all over the world, they went with a public company that can do this for them? Are they NUTS? No, really. If this isn't the worst, most unsecured way to do ANYTHING, I don't know what is. Do they use their full names as their login IDs as well?
ClifferyB has already put a lot of weight behind Occulus. Sony has been using them in house with Planetside 2.
I've been shouting this from the roof tops, but if someone wants to make a fortune, they could make a little console box that has only one output. Occulus. It would be bigger than Wii. It would be Neuromancer prime. The entire OS could link you into a virtual world and you go from there. It could be such an amazing game changer.
I think a lot of us saw this. Particularly when he said 'NO LOBBYISTS WILL SERVE WITH ME' and promptly started putting lobbyists into positions. His reasoning was that all the people qualified for those positions were all lobbyists. Then he came to the table with Republicans and blatantly said to their faces 'YOU LOST, DEAL WITH IT' and expected them to simply fall in line behind him. Instead of keeping that stance, he decided to bend to their will and ended up using their health care reform as a peace offering. So much for that. Even today Republicans whine about their own health care bill being made law. Senator Chafee is probably rolling in his grave.
I think he had an idea that he could shape policy by himself, but when it requires everyone else to do it as well, and when everyone else is, frankly, nuts, you don't get much done.
More often than not, everyone has their good sides and bad sides. You won't find a single person in history that was lauded as a savior of a certain time or period without some bad sides.
This is not to mean it is wrong to discount them, but it also wrong to discount all their good effects as well. Gandhi, in particular, had far more good than bad.
Companies shouldn't have to worry about providing insurance to workers, regardless. They should be able to focus on the cost of running their business with static expenses. Countries like Denmark has some of the highest individual entrepreneurship rates in the world. Why? Because the government takes care of providing health care to everyone, as well as all schooling through college. Obviously these are all funded through higher tax rates, but it leaves a lot of unknown headaches from businesses and manages to provide everyone an opportunity to succeed.
It's all for naught anyways. Our population and technology has out paced job growth. We need to realize there simply wont be any more jobs for the majority of the population as time marches forward. Unions wont matter, free markets wont matter. The only thing that will matter is how governments will deal with rationing out services to their population. Eventually everything will just be entirely automated, so we will have to deal with a lot of free time to continue our educations and explore the world. Stuff like arguing over unions, capitalism, socialism is pointless. We're on the cusp of it all being entirely irrelevant.
The fact is, companies should not have to worry about paying for health insurance. It needs to be ripped from their expenses and put on a national scale. If you look at countries like Denmark where the government lets every citizen free health care and free schooling all the way through college, you will find they have some of the highest entrepreneurship in the world. Why? Because starting a business there only requires the motivation to just do it. They don't have to worry about all the other expenses. It's a large load off their shoulders. This is what America should be striving for.

Why get rid of them when they can be a honeypot?
But this is literally FOUR MAPS on release.
I believe BF4 released with TEN 64-player maps.

Welcome to America, bud.
What good is that going to do for a man?
Oh, I see... Misogyny is fun.

Are you kidding me?
I want an entire OS built around this. I want to jack into my cyberdeck.
Doom reworked with Oculus. I'm all tingly now. DO IT.

This *10. Even for a drone carrier, this is still a huge ship. The future is not with manned aircraft.

Also, 'koolaid'? Really? Welcome to 2008.
There aren't any "NSA" guys. There are contractors contracted out by other contractors run by contractors.
