  1. Well done. A perfect example of a Stack Overflow jackass.

    A 'couple of watts' is already more than twice the power of any system on most $2000 drones.

    At some point can you be bothered to say what incident 'has ruined it for everyone'? Because there haven't been any number of injuries above single digits, and no deaths after 3 years of cheap drones.

    "Don't forget, Joe Biden pulled the same thing during the Bush presidency. Sure, length of time was different."

    Standing up in the Senate and telling people they should do something IS NOT THE SAME as actually keeping a seat open until after the election. The Republicans did the latter, and actually *did* it.

    False f*cking Equivalency.

    And did he keep the senate from even speaking to a nominee? Did he actually *do* anything besides talk? Because actually holding a seat for a year is what has happened here, and Joe Friggin Biden didn't do it.

    That's not helped by the Democrat's insistence to play by the rules and try to reach an agreement with the Republicans, and the Republicans insistence to pull the football away, set fire to the house and p*ss on the doorstep, cackling all they way, in the name of Party.

    F*ck every goddamn one of them. Under no circumstances will I ever vote for a Republican ever again. Anyone with an (R) next to their name shares in the stink, and will be avoided. Since that's apparently the only way to get anything done these days...

    Threads (and the replies) like this are very handy for me. Every year or so I look in the direction of Linux, thinking it might be time for me to dip my feet back in and try to familiarize myself with it. Sometimes I load a distro on a spare machine, sometimes I play with a virtual image. The end of this path has always been the same - some simple problem pops up nearly immediately and grinds me to a halt. Looking for help results in messages like this one and the ones that follow. I format the machine and install something else (usually some version of Windows) not because I love it but because I stand a chance in hell of making it work, in my lifetime. So goes the last 15 years +. I eagerly await the replies that will exactly duplicate the same dismissive asshat attitude that has driven me and most everyone else away.

    Ah yes - the pilot who saw a "drone" near the field and *purposely* made a low pass down the runway to threaten the pilot. The model airplane, which had permission from the Airport Manager to be there, was hit by the private pilot who purposefully buzzed the runway with smoke on and at extremely low altitude. There is no protection from dumbass, and the dumbass was the FAA licensed private pilot.
