FYI I know someone who did that while drunk and found an electric fence....talk about grounded!
MythBusters did that one. It took ONE HELL OF A STREAM to get a shock. I've touched electric fences, it's not that bad, though I wouldn't pee on one intentionally.
My neighbor's azaleas planted at my fence-line? Mysteriously DEAD.
People own the air above their property up to a fairly considerable height, much higher than can be reached with a shotgun.
Do they, care to quote the law? And, in many places, especially in the city but also in the country, discharging a firearm is regulated.
Think about this: If the Google Car pulls into your driveway, can you go out and start blasting away at it? Think you'll walk away from that unscathed? You can certainly sue Google (as some have done) for invading your privacy, but I think you'll end up owing a few greenbacks for the damage and possibly some sork of "reckless behavior" charge.
It's a nice fantasy to say "I would do this and that". But the reality is you wouldn't and shouldn't.
That is a case I would love to take to court, and see the jury try to keep from laughing.
The jury can laugh all they want, but if the activity of your neighbor was LEGAL, and you in fact destroyed your neighbor's personal property while it was doing something LEGAL, the judge will most likely instruct the jury that you broke the law and are liable. Only judges make the law, juries follow the law.
I would be totally willing to testify in my own defense, and watch the other party try to come up with a reasonable explanation for what they were doing.
Your testimony will be that you broke the law. The other party does not need a defense as they did not break the law.
...#richPersonProblems... I would wonder why anyone wants to do such a boring thing with their life as watch me.
"Poor Person" neighbor disputes can get pretty nasty. RC aircraft and inexpensive high-def digital cameras are cheap these days. I'm really not interested in some whacked-out neighbor buzzing my property all day and night.
Or, maybe he's looking for my weed patch...
Who knows, but yes, I'd like to be able to call the cops on such an asshole, even after I take the thing out with my unnecessary (but legally purchased and licensed) semi-automatic assault rifle.
Actually, I'd VERY MUCH like to be able to call the cops after taking the drone out, as I'm sure my asshole neighbor will be WAY pissed off.
I just want them to pay tax on them, just like I pay tax on the toys that I can afford.
So you don't take advantage of any tax rules - er, "loopholes" - that apply to YOUR taxes, because you're just such a stong supported of paying your fair share, and, well, the Government can always use a little more?
Or are you saying that tax breaks - "loopholes" if you will - are only for middle-class peeps? Once you become "rich" it's OK for the government to rape your cash store?
People like to gripe about what "rich people" buy with their cash. But why not spen it on toys if you can afford it? Unless the current Group Think is that Rich People should give away all their money a la Bill Gates?
Maybe they're not "fakes"? Maybe they're just lonely vacuous people with non-descript lives who mindlessly follow people on Twitter to help pump up their self-esteem?
There's a lot of accounts out there that are only created as placeholders. I have a few myself that I created for different domain names I own.
And there lies the truth about Twitter: For the most part, Twitter is now simply an extension of commercial branding, as in "Nothing To See" and "Nothing Of Value Was Lost"... I mean, if you're really interested in reading Justin Bieber's latest drama in 140 chars... Twitter is now (and has been for some time) simply an extension of the corporate promotion game.
As such, does it really matter how many Twitter Twaddle Accounts are fake? Most people who follow Twitter Twaddle are "fake" in more ways than one.
Here's something a little "funny", Rackspace and Red Hat sued Uniloc over the idea of patenting mathematical algorithms, and Rackspace / Red Hat won. Guess where Uniloc parks their servers?
Rackspace is now counter-suing the troll, as the firm said it has a deal in place with Parallel Iron after signing a previous patent settlement with them.
So what they are REALLY saying is...
Honey, we left the cash on the dresser, and now you want more?
She isn't asking you to "feel sorry" for her. Perhaps if you had paid more attention in your Literature classes while turning nuts under the hood in Auto Class, you would have a higher level of reading comprehension.
What I'm wondering is how people get caught? The aircraft *might* be able to pinpoint a general area, but one would think that by the time the coppers arrive, the asshole has put it away?
Slashdot Mirror
My friend, you are 18 and in junior college, right? It shows.
That's fucking par for the course for PHP devs...
And there's the troll.

Somehow it doesn't surprise me that someone with your user name gets into weird neighborhood disputes...
Dude, there is nothing more refreshingly MANLY than stepping out into your yard and taking a whiz along the fence-line... Keeps me grounded!

You need to rethink your position on this.

They should be stealing bitcoins?
You would lose that bet.
I don't think so.

Jealousy issue?
If you really think so, you're doing it wrong.
I'll bet you're one of these morons who are surgically mated to their Smart Phones...
It missed every one I suspected as fake.

Ooooohhhhhh. You said the fuck word, and the ass word as well.
"Twat".
What's with the "f_ck" and "a_s"? If you thought the word and probably say the word, why not type the word?
Fuck and Ass. There, no one died.

to buy yet another yacht or villa in colorado.
Villas in Colorado? That would put them a long way from their yacht...
And who uses the "consulting companies"? Your local company. They use these "consulting companies" for their IT needs.
And in the meantime they bitch and moan about the lack of local talent.
Listen folks: business people are two faced liars. Anyone who defends them is the same.
Nope, not my "local company". Mostly it's the big guys that ARE NOT on the H1-B Top List: Microsoft, Google, IBM, others...
Pardon me for not feeling sorry for you.
She isn't asking you to "feel sorry" for her. Perhaps if you had paid more attention in your Literature classes while turning nuts under the hood in Auto Class, you would have a higher level of reading comprehension.
Guy told me they sell for $3000+ in stores, but he let me have one for just $250
I'll bet it's buring your fingertips...
So, you are all for the idea of being able to fork Open Source projects depending on your needs - except when it is a disadvantage to you?
I know, people will say that's snarky, but seriously, we can't have it both ways.

Stewardess?
The flight attendant didn't make the rules, so why are giving him / her such a hard time?
