    Also it looks like we aren't just talking of using a common computer, this may be more about contraband cell phones.

    "Who gains anything by punishment?"

    The privatized prison system can then charge more for the offender as the stay has been extended.

    To OP there that thinks it's so they can't run a criminal business, in some form or another gang leaders have been running their organizations from behind bars in some cases decades before the creation of the internet.

    What's the difference?

    Go to RatShack buy a large button, wire it into an autodialer that uses your landline to dial you and possibly someone else. This way you could say have a neighbor, friend or family member notified as well.

  4. Re:not impressed on Drone, Drone, Everywhere a Drone -- at CES (Video) · · Score: 1

    I'm an avid RC pilot fly everything from EDF to quads and I'd never go premade anything like this.

    I prefer to build mine, mine even sports a variation of Ardupilot as the FC, even got it in kit form and got to solder everything myself.

    Yeah they are taking a $100 - $160 control board and gps and throwing it into a frame and then overcharging for the result.

    At 4 lbs as well that's well over the limit the FAA considers hobby or recreational. While well under a 4 lb quad is something you'd expect to have a cinematic style or professional camera under not a Go-Pro.

  5. As an RC enthusiast and quad builder and pilot on Drone, Drone, Everywhere a Drone -- at CES (Video) · · Score: 1

    I see little more than an overpriced POS.

    Really $1300?

    Let's start at the weight 4 lbs. WTF are you guys thinking?

    Flight times of 10 - 20 minutes and operating conditions of up to 14 mph winds, yeah I'd like to see where you get 20 minute flight time in 14 mph winds.

    Completely waterproof so the battery bay is watertight? The motor stators and windings are watertight? The flight control board is also watertight? While it's not supposed to be submerged or get wet if you advertise a flight time of 20 minutes and someone is using it in sub-optimal conditions they may expect that 20 minute flight time and accidents will happen.

    Also how do they plan on countering the feared new legislation and regulation we in the hobby expect to come from the FAA?

    We've already seen what having the ability to throw down a credit card and buy a phantom without knowing the first thing about safe operation can and has gotten us.

    Looks like AirDog has lowered the bar even further.

    So not looking forward to the next "AirDog crashes on Whitehouse lawn", which I realize was a DJI but still same difference.

    I did Turking for a whopping 20 minutes, after 20 minutes I realized that it was costing me more in electricity, time, and cpu heat exhaust than the $4.00 I made or the less than $10 and hour I would have potentially made Turking, never went back.

    After skimming this glad I left it.

  7. Re:Life for Firearm Possession? on Silk Road Drug Dealer Pleads Guilty After Federal Sting · · Score: 1

    When I worked at a convenience store we were not allowed to carry and were told this up front. No problem, my solution was to keep a fire extinguisher on the counter, pin pulled and ready to go. My intent should I ever need it was to throw whatever they wanted and while their attention was elsewhere some nice chemicals to the face from the extinguisher, would it have worked not sure, but it did help me feel safer while on my shifts.
