Who's to say the drones won't be as fast as a normal jet, just more maneuverable (due to no pilot to keep alive while turning)?
a drone that's as capable or more than a manned jet isn't going to be less complex, it's going to be MORE complex and hence more expensive.
that's the whole point that everyone is making. a wave of thousands (?) of drones would win by sheer number... because drones are cheaper and you can produce more. do you think iran is going to build / buy an air force of 10,000 drones that can out fly an F-16/18/22?
Given the specific nature and intended target demographic of the video, YES.
sure, so all it takes for Crazy Group X to get something effectively outlawed is to riot when it happens? don't you think that reinforces bad behavior? do you give your child the candy when he throws a tantrum?
One has to wonder that if he had made a movie about butterflies, would he be in jail right now? I bet not.
probably not, but not necessarily for the insidious reasons to which you are alluding. how many people break laws of varying degrees every day and get away with them because no one notices or cares? this guy made a lot of people notice and care. if you are doing something illegal (liking breaking the terms of your probation) it a bad idea to make a spectacle of yourself doing it (using a pseudonym). duh.
say a business man buys a new yacht and car that are beyond his means, people notice. they will look into him. low and behold, he was embezzling money and was arrested. buying the yacht and car weren't illegal and no one would say he was arrested for that... but nonetheless, they are the *reason* he was discovered.
Sorry, no, luck has absolutely nothing to do with it. If you believe in getting rich via "luck" then you will always remain poor.
no matter how smart and productive you are, the success or failure company that you have options in has relatively little to do with you, percentage-wise. sure, you can put some research into things... does the company have a good idea? are the people you interview with the type that can make it work? but ultimately you are making an educated guess about those things unless you are a clairvoyant that can glean the Ultimate Truth of it all from a day of interviews (hint: you can't).
in reality, it's going to take months if not more to figure out out that things aren't going to work. so what will you do? hop around jobs every 6 months until you find something you think is a winner? how many times can you do that before startups start looking at your resume and figuring out that you aren't willing to stick it out? how long until you have a house, spouse, or child that prevents you from quitting jobs willy-nilly, or that requires you to have decent health insurance?
gee, let's comb the internet for videos, etc. that support our point. after all, if a video exists showing some people thinking a particular way, it must mean that everyone thinks that way, right?
now, it would be impossible for me to find information that shows a democrat supporting business right?
The government is spending more money than any company, the government has more employees than any company
it's current size has no bearing on whether it's "growing faster". you know the difference right?
Government should be vilified, every pay raise anybody in government gets is a pay cut for people in the private sector, because they are paying for those pay raises with taxes paid out of actual production.
you are a moron to make blanket statements like that. my spouse is a government employee and has had her pay and benefits cut repeatedly over the last 5 years, and been forced to part-time work where she no longer receives health benefits.
govt is jut like big business. some people are milking the system and making out like bandits, but that's the 1%.
wtf are you even talking about? despite considering myself a liberal and in general being able to see where even the occupy folks are coming from, i've never thought of a business as a bad thing.
i mean really, get outside your current circle of friends / literature. the average person has no idea where you are coming from.
They are not, however, brilliant business people, and that is what companies need during periods of rapid growth.
that's wrong. you need both. you can have brilliant business people but if you don't have brilliant engineers to build prototypes and demos, you aren't going to get very far.
you might answer that you don't need brilliant engineers, you just need competent ones. if all it took was competent engineers to build your idea, guess what? someone else would have already built it... and if not, someone else that has the same idea is going to hire brilliant engineers (or just more / better competent ones) and beat you to the bunch.
so... you're incapable of seeing two sides of the same person? if you disagree with them in one arena, you can't respect them in another? that seems a little simplistic.
If the Nexus 7 can do all that, why not the Fire - or indeed any of them? You can side-load stuff on the Fire too...
who not? if you want an APK that's on google play but not amazon's market,
1. install APK on device 1 that has google play 2. install android SDK 3. connect device 1 to a computer 4. use ADB to pull the APK off of device 1 5. connect device 2 to computer 6. use ADB or USB to push the APK to device to 7. use a file browser on device 2 to locate the APK and install it
not to mention, the app installed on device 2 is not going to get updated. you have to manually track updates and re-apply that process each time.
w/ the nexus, you get the google play market (which is better for apps), the amazon store (which is better for books, and in general better for all digital media), and the nook "store", if you for some reason like B&N better.
i think people would say the difference is that you aren't forced to upgrade a local app, but google docs can just change over night. there's no option to not upgrade.
That is because the Western main stream media, - from New York Times to Le Monde of France, - are being controlled by the liberals who hate Christianity more than anything else.
sure, some people hate christians, but that's not what you're talking about. you are talking about people who don't live their lives and change the laws of the US to be in accordance with your religious beliefs.
the US was founded with freedom of religion. but that's not enough for some people. no where in the world will you find the variety of religions practiced in freedom in the US. it's not perfect. bad people do bad things, like that christian who recently killed all of the sikhs, but in general we're pretty tolerant.
however, some folks aren't happy with being able to worship in freedom and peace - aren't happy until everyone either believes what they believe, are is forced to act in accordance with it whether they believe it or not.
And then you've got the Nokia Lumia series, which not only doesn't infringe (and is a design that Apple themselves used to show that you can build a non-infringing phone), it's far and away the most beautiful phone design on the market today, in my mind. I WISH Apple would make something that looks like that. (I like my iPhone 4, but that Lumia really does look amazing.)
isn't it interesting how apple points to two phones that have zero market share and pose zero risk to their dominance as being great examples of how to build a phone? fascinating.
Even Google said that Samsung was probably making their products look a little too much like the iPhone.
i say to you "don't walk across the street, i think that bully might beat you up." you do it anyway, and get beat up. that doesn't make the bully in the right. it just means you have poor judgement, or perhaps you didn't trust me. the bully is still a bully.
You appear to think that all phones must have that one or two features that Apple patented. I wonder how smartphones functioned before those patents were used.
they functioned just fine, because the features existed and were in use before apple patented them.

A drone knocks out the other guy 100 miles out and if it doesn't, who gives a shit.

If the same person had created and posted it under his real name, it would still be a free speech issue
in that case, it'd be a murder investigation.

I want it to drive on the highway for 9 hrs and let me sleep or read a book or watch a movie or play with my kids.

ever heard of PDF?
it's "douchEbag" you moron.
so bush is still running the country? amazing. i guess he is smarter than we all thought.
no one is interviewing the survivors of 9/11 to determine if americans hate islam either. duh.

If Microsoft could've monetized hardware like Apple did/does, they'd have done the same thing.
on the contrary, they succeeded because they did not do that.
