... actually, its just as unlikely that 99% of the OSS fanboys like you can edit binaries as they can C source code.
While it takes effort, editing a binary isn't really that hard for people who know assembly. The binary IS THE SOURCE, the actual source that you run, not the code before it gets preprocessed by someone else's compiler.
Anything you can do with some C source, I can do with the actual binary and I'm willing to bet I can do it far faster than you can with the C source code.
Now, everyone raise your hand if you know the difference between a binary compiled by someone else from open source and one compiled from closed source? Whats that? You don't have the slightest clue? Yea, thought so.
So you have the source to the CPU? Keyboard controller? Ethernet controller? You have the masks for the silicon and can make your own?
No, you don't, so every electronic device you own with a CPU isn't open source.
Get off your retarded high horse, you don't run anything thats fully open source yet you act like other people are stupid for not drinking the same half-assed brand of cool-aid that you do.
I suggest you NEVER rant on like you have a clue, you clearly don't.
The cost is far lower per hour than a single officer walking the beat. Considering a small Cessna burns 6 gallons per hour or so, at roughly $6 a gallon currently thats 36 hours or so in fuel costs... this thing is going to burn a gallon for 6 hours, or less. Less stringent safety requirements also bring the cost of maintaining the thing down to near that of a motorcycle (lower than a patrol car). Any cop you get to walk around compton will cost far more in hazard pay alone, its a fucking war zone.
The answer to your question is overwhelmingly yes it will provide far more benefits than any existing method they use to just watch the area. The UAV isn't going to make an arrest however.
They aren't forbidden, its just a bad idea, it turns the country against its military and the members of the military generally are going to question attacking their dads, mothers, brothers and sisters.
Once the military starts acting as a police force, countries fall.
So basically you're just making shit up as you go? Somehow you think that the crust wouldn't be layered without plate tectonics even though that isn't the reason the crust is layered in the first place...
In that situation, when you can just make up silly answers to the holes in your theory, any theory can look sound.
If his film is released at Tribeca you can assume its only good in the eyes of people in the industry that love to slobber all over each other about how awesome they are even though its complete crap.
Its been released the same day because all 6 people that are going to watch it already have so he's praying his name will get some sales outside of that because of his history.
The rest of your post could be solved if you opened any 3rd or 4th grade science book... not sure what planet you're thinking of, but its not venus, which has both an atmosphere and a solid surface.
... If you were close enough for ionizing radiation to kill you... the heat would have vaporized you well before you had enough time to figure out that the radiation might be a problem.
Would people stop using/. and start using soylentnews.org, please!?!? I can't take this anymore!
Yet here you are... using slashdot instead of soylentnews...
If soylentnews is so great... why are you here commenting on the articles that you dislike so much?
Not that I disagree about the shit quality of the articles, but you just look stupid when you harp on how people should use another site when you don't take your own medicine. Hypocrite?
Lawyers are like Graphics Artists working on a UI.
They don't do it because they think its good for something or useful, they do it because they have to justify their existence in a profession full of people who aren't half as good as they'd like to think and keep working.
Its well past the intention of the law and good of society and completely in the realm 'doing it because we have nothing else to do'. Another example of this would be Windows Vista's changes or the iOS changes to change the entire look and feel of the OS in version 7. It has nothing to do with better or more productive, and everything to do with justifying the reason they are employed.
Scientology's believers are far more ignorant because L Ron Hubbard said 'if you want to make a bunch of money, start a religion and charge for it'... and then he did... and its a pay for play religion... and people like Tom Cruise and John Travolta actually pay ridiculous amounts of money to 'move up' the chain of 'believers'.
Its one thing to believe in what you believe is fantasy (God)... its an entirely different thing to have some guy tell you he's going to rip you off... and then you let him rip you off.
No, those languages have all sorts of other problems.
Your problem is you're blaming the language for the fact that you're not meticulous enough to write code in C, not that the language is the problem. You just shouldn't be a programmer. I don't think I'm so good that I don't make mistakes, I'm also not so stupid to think that the language is the reason that mistakes were made. You're just blaming something other than the actual person who is the problem.
But hey, don't let your silly view of reality cloud your way. You keep thinking that a language can make your sloppy code magically better.
While I can block stupid editors, like timothy and kdawson, how can I block stupid OpEd posts from morons like Bennett?
All he does is ramble on about shit he utterly fails to understand. I actually feel dumber for reading the first bit of this 'story'
I don't want to see timothy write stupid shit about how he took a trip to CES nor do I want to see stupid shit from Haselton waxing on about things he's not in any way qualified to even discuss like he has an opinion.
I naturally skip over the 'submitter' of articles, but I didn't even finish the first word of the first sentence before I know it was Haselton. He can't even fucking write properly. I'm certainly not the besets speelr or grammar king, but holy shit, you don't start with 'I' you arrogant fuck. We don't give a shit about what he thinks, he's an idiot.
Go back to 6th grade and learn to write, you aren't a journalist, you aren't knowledgable at all on info sec, you're just someone who likes to hear yourself talk.
That may be true in some countries, but not in America.
In America you have to actively refuse help in order to be in continual pain or homeless.
I HAVE been poor, there is no excuse for hunger or suffering in the US, there are programs to help.
The problem is not that they are poor, its that they don't want to be helped, the reason for this could be any number of things from simple depression to severe mental disorders, but it IS NOT because help is unavailable.
A severe tooth abscess can be handled by the ER if its that bad and no publicly funded ER will turn down you down, its illegal. I know, I've been in EXACTLY that spot. And for reference, alcohol does pretty much nothing at all for tooth pain, you're far better off packing clove powder around it to numb it and treat the infection than drinking yourself silly, unless you drink enough to pass out... in which case you have to stay drunk or the sobering up process will be FAR worse.
If you think about the tech from the time, you'd realize they were shitty.
Battery life... would have been crappy Display tech... would have been crappy Touch screen... would have been crappy, resistive touch if at all Processing power... would have been crappy GUI hardware acceleration... would have been nonexistent from a practical perspective. Connectivity... bad wifi or ridiculously over priced cellular modems that killed the batteries even faster.
As soon as the non-techie guys in the company saw it, though would have canceled it in a heart beat, it would have been an embarrassment... much like pretty much EVERY tablet before the iPhone/iPad era. Android may be fine now, but before they iPhone, pretty much every mobile device was asstastic. A few die-hard geeks (myself included) had things like old high end nokia smartphones or windows ce devices, but they were entirely the realm of high end geeks who would put up with the quirks
You do realize that encryption is security through obscurity... right? ActiveX is just a plugin system, just like XPCOM in firefox, but you know that too... right?
Please don't quote shit that you utterly fail to understand. The only part you got right was that IE was buggy as shit. Of course, so is Firefox, but you ignore all the security fixes it has gotten. The only thing is does better, and that Microsoft sucks at is time to fix, which while extremely important, is only part of the equation.
So its pretty much useless then? I realize the point of what its doing, but its fairly trivial with software running at or near exit nodes to figure out who's doing what and who they are. I have no doubt the NSA is capable of doing it. Put me in an IRC channel with 20 people I know and have chatted with for some time, randomize their nicks, give me an hour and I can tell you who most of them are based on their conversation patterns alone, and I'm just observant, not software combing EVERYTHING you do.
Doesn't mean you shouldn't try to be anonymous, but just that its PRETTY FRAKING HARD to do if you're doing it in public view, regardless of how hard you try to hide.
Instant stop? You can stick your finger into the blade at full speed and it will stop before it breaks the skin.

The aircraft simply needs an airworthiness certificate, which the manufacture gets, not the sheriffs department.

How is it different from killing them without drones?
What the fuck does a drone (just tool) have to do with it other than its a new reason to be uppity?
I've found that most people don't appreciate it when they realize they are being 'handled' and it usually ends badly.
The question is ... how long will it take the population to realize they are ... if ever?
