So it's trespassing to fly something over another person's property but firing a shotgun in the air where the pellets can land who-knows-where but probably onto someone else's property or their person is not?
You mean other than shooting a shotgun in a populated area without concern for others or for their property?
Oh, just for grins, how about following the fucking drone back to its controller. The control signal must be line-of-sight and it has a fairly limited range, that wouldn't be too hard.
I doubt that owning property automatically implies ownership of the airspace above the property. Aircraft are constantly flying above private property but never has that resulted in trespassing charges. Nobody has file a lawsuit against Google for their property appearing in Google Earth. I'm not suggesting that a drone flying above one's house isn't a nuisance but it isn't trespassing nor can one be justified in blasting it out of the sky with a shotgun, irrespective of the danger of firing a gun in populated areas. Further, making assumptions that the drone may be carrying a dangerous payload is simply that, an assumption. Claiming that in a court of law will get you nowhere without evidence.
Unless I misunderstood the mission, the payload isn't coming back so having a log file for post-mission review is meaningless. If they want to log anomalies, or commands, or telemetry, why aren't they sending it back? Either a continuous stream or regular or on-command bursts. In either case, there still would be no need to retain it in a file, you simply dump the buffer once its be transmitted and start from zero. Am I missing something?
The captain having an affair with a subordinate, let alone a co-worker, my-oh-my. I'd bet what is a really bad idea in the 21st century would still be a bad idea in the 23rd
Ah, but the GOP-controlled congress has only just started its descent into full-on madness. With the teabaggers leading the way, we'll be #1 before summer.
Hell yes. You never know when your plane might veer off-course, break into pieces, and crash onto a weird island where you encounter polar bears. If you're lucky, however, you might find enough weapons to arm a small 3rd world country.

I was going to recommend this as well. There was a very favorable write-up of this telescope in Sky and Telescope several months back. I had planned on ordering one after reading it but it was out-of-stock at the time. Good alternatives would be a good Newtonian scope from any of the reputable companies: Meade, Celestron, or Orion. They all have a good variety of sizes and prices along with the accessories you need: eye pieces, sky charts, etc. Selecting one from any of these options will give you something that should be useful for a long time. Good luck.
Better winters? You ever have to drive in the Tule fog that settles into the valley around December and doesn't lift until March? When its bad, you can't see the lines on the road directly in front of you. You are right about summers, though. Totally brutal.
Yawn, indeed. Earthquakes can devastate an area much larger that a typical tornado. Especially in places where they've never implemented building codes intended to mitigate earthquakes. Here in CA, all new buildings are required to meet certain codes, many of the bridges have been refitted to be more seismic proof, and certain existing buildings, primarily schools and hospitals have either undergone extensive retrofitting or have been closed.
Perhaps building codes intended to protect against tornadoes will work, in some measure, against earthquakes, assuming OK has them, but I'd still expect rather significant destruction in even a moderate size earthquake.
Interesting thought, however, since I never watched any Sex and the City, I assumed you were referring to a cute witch housewife with a twitchy nose. I guess it all depends on what generation of TV shows one was raised on.
I work in Sunnyvale where LinkedIn is putting up 3 very large, multi-story buildings for their new galactic headquarters. As I pass by them, I've wondered how they would possibly fill those buildings. Now I know. They're actually putting up their version of a data storage center, similar to the one NSA has built in Utah. They need room for the disk farms that store all these emails they've captured from their users.

every problem or confrontation, minor or major, ends with a firearm being pulled.

Whoosh!

You obviously weren't using these cables. They'll give you the warm, rich sound you've been looking for.

We've always been at war with the Asteroids!
Don't forget the classic screw-over, Dune. Its sole redeeming feature was that they cast Patrick Stewart as Gurney Halleck.

I have a treatment of Chutes and Ladders - The Movie I'm shopping around. If you're interested, call me. We'll do lunch.

And I give even less to OK but you've completely missed the point.

And now earthquakes. OK just can't catch a break.
