Jesus some of the comments here are so fucking stupid, read the bill.
The Consumer Drone Safety Act would put in place commonsense safety precautions to minimize the risk of a disastrous mid-air collision or crash to the ground. The bill:
Defines “consumer drones” as civil unmanned aircraft manufactured for commercial distribution and equipped with an automatic stabilization system or a camera for navigation.
This definition does not override Section 336 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 and model aircraft flown for recreational purposes would continue to be subject to the safety guidelines of a community-based organization rather than to operational regulations of the FAA.
Directs the FAA to regulate recreational operations of consumer drones outside the programming of a nationwide community-based organization.
These regulations shall include a maximum height for flight, the weather and time-of-day conditions for flight, and any areas or circumstances where flights may be prohibited or limited, such as near airports, in the flight paths of manned aircraft, in urban areas, or over public events where spectators are present.
Directs the FAA to require safety features for newly manufactured consumer drones, such as geo-fencing to govern the altitude and location of flights, collision-avoidance software, precautions for the loss of a communications link, a method for pilots and air traffic control to detect and identify the drone, anti-tampering safeguards, and educational materials to be provided to the consumer.
Requires manufacturers to update existing consumer drones to meet these requirements where feasible, such as through an automatic software update.
Allows the FAA to exempt particular types of consumer drones from any requirement that is technologically infeasible or cost prohibitive if other operational precautions allow that type of drone to be operated safely.
I think all phone companies offer it, for a fee, maybe vonage offers it as part of a package to compete. I thought I would look at some apps that blocked and found this blurb at the end of the list.
Finally, try filtering by using a Google Voice number as your primary means of contact. Google Voice offers great spam filtering options with a database of known spam numbers, and it can automatically block potential spam. You can port an existing number to Google Voice for a $20 fee to enjoy first-class call filtering options no matter what kind of phone you're using. This method works for both iPhones and Android smartphones.
One thing about using Google voice is I can change my actual phone number and set it in Gvoice to route to the new number. After reading about the apps that block calls I think I would rather route through Google than some app, they already know everything about me.
I give out only my Google voice number, because I can block calls. So ask yourself this, for that phone bill you pay every month why is it blocking isn't included?
The Metcalf sniper attack was a "sophisticated" assault on PG&E Corp's Metcalf Transmission Substation located outside of San Jose, California on April 16, 2013, in which gunmen fired on 17 electrical transformers. The attack resulted in over $15 million worth of damage.[1][2]
The most infamous and interesting ATM hacker was Barnaby Jack, who passed away in 2013. He would delight crowds at security conferences by bringing one or two commonly used ATMs on stage and within a few minutes have them spitting out fake cash.
Maybe this is what hackers should be paranoid of, revealing a little too much.
Jack was found dead in a San Francisco apartment on 25 July 2013 by his girlfriend. He was aged 35.[12][13][14] At the time of his death, he was due to attend a Black Hat Briefings hacking conference in Las Vegas.[15][16] Black Hat general manager Trey Ford, said "Everyone would agree that the life and work of Barnaby Jack are legendary and irreplaceable", and announced his spot would not be replaced at the conference.[13] According to the coroner, Jack died of a cocktail of prescription drugs and cocaine.[17]
It's all BS anyways, if you search around you will find ISIS is practically a creation of the US leadership/military's stupidity, or possible even purposely allowed to form and grow. They needed a new Al Q, so there you have it, something new in high def, chopping heads and speaking English.
In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.
We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together.
Akin to, and largely responsible for the sweeping changes in our industrial-military posture, has been the technological revolution during recent decades.
In this revolution, research has become central; it also becomes more formalized, complex, and costly. A steadily increasing share is conducted for, by, or at the direction of, the Federal government.
The Open Compute Project initiative was announced in April 2011 by Facebook to openly share designs of data center products.[1] The effort came out of a redesign of Facebook's data center in Prineville, Oregon.[2] After two years, it was admitted that "the new design is still a long way from live data centers."[3] However, some aspects published were used in the Prineville center to improve the energy efficiency, as measured by the power usage effectiveness index defined by The Green Grid.[4]
The Open Compute Project Foundation is a 501(c)(6) non-profit incorporated in the state of Delaware. Cole Crawford serves as the Foundation's Executive Director. Currently there are 7 individuals on the Board of Directors. Frank Frankovsky, formerly of Facebook is the Foundation's President and Chairman. Andy Bechtolsheim, Jason Taylor (Facebook), Jason Waxman(Intel), Don Duet(Goldman Sachs), Mark Roenick (Rackspace), and Bill Laing (Microsoft) are also Open Compute board members.
In 2015 March Apple, Cisco and Juniper Networks joined the project.[5]
We now have one of the purest examples of this dynamic. Last night, the Murdoch-owned Sunday Times published their lead front-page Sunday article, headlined “British Spies Betrayed to Russians and Chinese.”
Just as the conventional media narrative was shifting to pro-Snowden sentiment in the wake of a key court ruling and a new surveillance law, the article (behind a paywall: full text here) claims in the first paragraph that these two adversaries “have cracked the top-secret cache of files stolen by the fugitive US whistleblower Edward Snowden, forcing MI6 to pull agents out of live operations in hostile countries, according to senior officials in Downing Street, the Home Office and the security services.”
And if you want to be ISP specific I've found there' no point in calling "tech support" if your connection drops, they know nothing, they want to send out someone when I know it's there that's changed nothing out here. Maybe some of you have ISP's that can do something depending on type of connection, with cable ISP's there's little point unless you can get the call escalated to someone worth the air they breath,
The "agents" positions could not have been that dangerous if they left them in place knowing Snowden's stolen data was out in the wild. Sorry not going to believe they just shrugged and "went with it" after the leak.

If you can't corrupt them buy them.
Consider the government and police anti-social behavior, we absolutely should have the right to own such vehicles, and the weapons to go with them.
Do we want them to survive?
Do you really expect us to?
Yes, because someone has to be better than congress.

So they can't one arm of the government saying encryption would have helped and another saying it should be illegal.
The thing is, how bad do you suck at security if social engineering was behind this "attack"
I give out only my Google voice number, because I can block calls.
So ask yourself this, for that phone bill you pay every month why is it blocking isn't included?
