The cat disrespected nobody. Taliban solders murdered innocent people.
The respect isn't for the body itself. The respect is for the person/thing that it used to be. Said respect is possible to negate (or never earn): witness the "acceptability" of desecrating Taliban corpses. (Note: it's not really acceptable. People just let it be.)
Yep. "People when they visit tomb in a cemetery are rarely visiting the corpse, but rather re-visiting the memory of the person, working on their grief"
Totally someone lacking feeling or the understanding of it. Total aspie. Yep.
Hardware != OS. Sega designed the Dreamcast, not Microsoft. Sega just implemented some of Microsoft's software within it.
If I made a revolutionary new virtual reality system, and happened to choose Linux to run it, would you say that Linus Torvalds was the innovator responsible for this virtual reality system?
Because in general you want to avoid putting on extra unneeded weight.
Do it right and it might help flight in moving air (since the air would just pass around, instead of pushing against the components)
The airstream from the rotors itself already hits barely anything (i.e. the struts). I'd guess you could get some better airflow depending on the shape of those struts, but adding a skin between the struts wouldn't help much..in fact, it would make it easier for the wind to 'catch' it.
Toy quadcopters that you can get off-the-shelf for cheap (but usually have poor gyros and are too small to handle themselves in even a slight breeze) do typically have more of a a body, though.
Well, I know it would add weight, but a thin stretched skin of say, cheesecloth weighs next to nothing, and I would say the teeny structure you'd have to add to keep it from "collapsing" (because it's stretched) would not add much more.
As well, I didn't mean the truss rods, i meant the central body where all the electronics, batteries etc are - something for breezes etc to push against.
Why is it that these UAVs are always naked? Why not build a very simple lightweight frame to stretch some nylon over or something? Give it some kind of a flashy skin.

Agreed. Shame something couldn't be worked out in a way that views coming from a school or other organization requesting it be prevented from reading 'flagged' media. This way the rest of us can continue with it as-is, and the schools get to filter out the objectionable content.
Ammo doesn't need to be difficult. Plenty of propellants and primers can be made from things that couldn't be well restricted. Cartridges don't need to be made of brass, bullets don't need to be made of lead. Steel and iron would do the job, there.
Correction: MANAGERS don't know anything about security.
Let me assure you, IT does - unless MANAGEMENT has ensured they only hire those who don't. The ones that do, however, cannot exercise it because of MANAGEMENT.
That's what happens when smart people have only a small number of children, if any, while the uneducated and/or stupid (yes, there's a difference) breed like rabbits.

Deathmatch, deadmatch. Close enough :P
You seem to have mistaken a remote control toy for a military combat drone.
Eye for an eye only works if it's actually eye for an eye, and not "extended family for a fingernail"
How do you know "smooth wombat" is American? I though wombats were exclusive to the Australian continent?
Sssshhh. One too many run-ins with a drop-bear. Brain damage, and all that.
Sure.

Yep. Because using a real corpse is disrespectful of it's former occupant (or at least the memory of it, if you don't believe there was an occupant)
Yes, but that says nothing about the Spanish Inquisit[b]ors[/b]!
Erm, no.

Well, in this case both of them copied the Sega Dreamcast, assuming that Sega was actually the first one...
On a side note: that thing looks like it might make an original XBox controller feel comfortable!
Looks heavy, but it does bring up a question:

Oh yea, I'd love to download that 8mb PDF over THAT connection...

The trick being that it's supposed to be consensual.
If you tell me to punch you in the face, would you put it on the same level as my punching a random passer-by in the face?
Indeed. You're supposed to treat it like it wants to murder you at the first opportunity.

... and yet such PITA systems like SELinux do exist and are utilized.
Solutions are there, people need to just stop being lazy bitches about it.
NOODLE ARMS! Really. You should have control over that bastard.
That's what happens when smart people have only a small number of children, if any, while the uneducated and/or stupid (yes, there's a difference) breed like rabbits.
Lots of really smart people, like Einstein, believe/believed in at least one deity.
what I think is worthless.
Only if it stands alone. Get 46% of the population to believe it with you and it's not so worthless anymore.
Yes, and unfortunately taking such a compromise pisses off both parties. Witness your -1 score.
lol, nobody ever asks me. I'd love to put some truth into their data, but I never get the opportunity.
