And there's the thing. Do you really think a 13 year old girl flying a half-pound pink plastic model helicopter below tree-top level in her back yard is "an aircraft pilot?"
And if just for shits and grins she flies it as high as it can go (WEEEEEEEE! LOOK AT THAT!) to 500 or 600 feet and smacks a private plane or a jet on final?
Arguably one of the more important historical archives in the world
It is arguable.
your support comes down to if you like the personalities?
If you want my hard earned money, yes, I expect you to try and no be a bunch of elitist assholes like the average Wikipedia "admin", otherwise you will do without my cash.
We already do, it's called a debit card. But the fact is, there will always be a significant contingent of people who want to live off the grid, those that want something to hold and pass around more than plastic, and homeless. "Paper" money will never go away. As irrational as it is considering how governments manipulate their paper money, many people feel safer with it than some nebulous concept of concurrency that perhaps you and I understand, but guess what? We will always be in the minority.
They were fined $11 million but probably saved a vast amount more than that by conducting that fraud.
They may have been fined only 11 million, but remember, the class action suits by owners who have cars that are not as advertised and indeed have a much lower resale value now, that 11 million figure it the tip of the ice burg for VW.
This is just Amazon pandering for free publicity. There are many many reasons drone delivery will probably never happen, certainly not within many years.
I'm sorry, but I still maintain that Jeff Bezos' rocketry hobby is just that, the inconsequential hobby of a very rich man that will never really contribute much at all to the space "industry" other than having what essentially is a very expense drone for a guy that likes expensive toys.
When I underwent my security clearance investigation, the FBI guys was most definatly interested in what I had to say about my bona fides. Of course he already knew the answers even if I had long forgotten.
I believe it is possible that the ability exists, but in every state and jurisdiction, this sort of thing would be highly illegal, and extremely unlikely due to the fact that sooner or later a citizen with pick up on it, document it, and people would go to jail.
Certainly not when a high ranking taliban was treated in a doctors without borders hospital, and the US government started bombing that hospital, breaking international treaties, killing innocents, burning down a hospital.
Doctors Without Boarders should not be treating "high ranking taliban".
If by that, you mean "union", then I doubt it. You'd never get enough support from the folks that are still getting paid very well (like me, who lives in Ohio), and aren't being outsourced. There's no business case to do that for anything but level 0 and 1 helpdesk jobs, and not even all of those.
You too will soon be "outsourced" and regret your opinion. I'll smile at you as I walk into Wal-Mart.
After being laid off from the best job in the world as a DBA that paid more than I had even made, I took a much lower paying job with the Air Force, and am now a "career civil servant". Sure, I'm not making the "big money" anymore, but I have a much better health plan then you will ever have, and my job will never go away.

Well, if they come off like the pushy elitist "Wikipedians" at Wikipedia, no money from me. But I may toss a Abraham Lincoln or two their way.
It's just not going to happen. NEXT UP: The Donald!
Was there a giant obelisk involved?
Stuff that matters, maybe. But news for nerds? It this TMZ now?

It's farking ridiculous.
So is typing "farking" when you meant "fucking", were thinking "fucking", and everyone else reads it as "fucking".
Why didn't they, after rebooting, re-engage the auto pilot?

Microsoft has exceptionaly high turnover. It doesn't fit the standard curve.
OMFG! There was a fluctuation of 2.2 percent in the female employees of a major corporation that has bizzilions of employees that come and go!
This is a very disturbing trend, and I tell you I'm on the phone to Jane Fonda right now!
Great stuff, nice hobby.

I notice you put "professional" in quotes.
That says a lot, really.
GIMP is not even a shadow of PhotoShop, both in functionality and usability, and never will be.
I'm sorry, the copper is 5mm thick???

in this case, it would be a green croissant...
Green croissant? Isn't that the French Socialist Party?

"Everyone" says you'll go nowhere without a college degree. But guess what? This is neither what many kids want nor society needs.
Vocational schools need to amp up the sales pitch. Machinists of the Tools and Die variety make 40$ and 50$ an hour, and that ain't bad.
Some people just are not interested in the 4 year menu.

Have fun at Wal-Mart.
This is useless trash. EXPENSIVE useleess trash. That doesn't have an Apple logo.
Customers will be measured in the tens.
Interestingly, I work with pilots, real professional pilots, and they seem drawn to TAG Heuer. Don't know why, but it is what it is.
and you know it's just a cheap disposable digital watch when there is no way to replace its battery.
TAG Heuer watches are not all that "cheap".
