Already too late. I think it's the GMs after 2012 don't even have a power steering pump anymore. All handled electrically, drive by wire. What could go wrong. Scary.
To me - clearly you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. I've hit plenty of birds over the decades I've been flying. Not one of them has left damage anything like that. Not one of them has left distinct lines like you see in that aluminum. It's ranged from no damage to having to replace some surfaces due to being deformed. Not one of them had an actual hole in it like you see on that wing.
It's just a matter of time. Do we have to have a big body count before the inevitable happens and we do something about it? Seems that is the only way it'll happen.
That's a not so sure woo hoo. Why? Because it's a database for Linux that's not owned by Oracle. Maybe Microsoft is putting it out there for acquisition? Has to be another motive for it, right?
And you teach risk? You need a course in probability and likelihood. Believe me, it isn't that big out there. Flying through even Tampa class B airspace to St. Petersburg, I'm flying at some assigned altitude and as I get close I'm going to usually be at 2000'. Sometimes they'll assign me 2100', that's because it isn't safe at 2000'. Yes, flying 170 MPH and 100' up or down makes a difference. It's frickin busy. NYC is way busier. If you get into the area on the Hudson, it's dangerous without even any drones around. In fact, it's so congested and dangerous that the faa made it a special flight rules area. You need to take a special course to fly there.
Now consider an intersection in the middle of no where. There's a stop sign there. You drive up and have to stop because there's another car there, at that time and you'd collide otherwise. There may not be another car in that intersection for hours yet there was one there when you were there. Happens, happens all the time. Just like in retail, nobody is at the cash registers. Then all of a sudden you have a queue. This is how life works. Probability takes this into account.
When I'm flying towards an airport to land, they're going to step me down. Usually near an airport I'm traveling at 170 MPH give or take 30 MPH or so, and I'm around 2500' until I get on the approach. Around 10 miles from the airport I'm 2000' or below, though now I'm slowing down to more like 110 MPH until I'm almost there, then I'm usually around 80 to land. Some planes will be way faster than I am, some way slower. Now imagine if I hit say a 5 or 10 Lbs drone at 170 MPH. I've just had a bad day. If I'm lucky it's just something cosmetic. If it's bad, I'm probably dead. Even cosmetic damage to a plane, now you're talking at least $1000. If you collide with a prop, some manufacturers require a complete tear down of the engine, so you're easily at 10K. Probably much more.
This is like a lot of other things in life. You can shoot a rifle, if you follow the rules. You can do arc welding - if you follow the rules. You can drive a car - if you follow the rules. Even if you can drive, you can't drive on the sidewalk for example. Lots of other examples. If they can go up high in a drone and it's not a threat to me, fine. There are drones at my airport and I'm fine with them because I know they're aware of us and they follow rules. About 10 years ago I ran into radio controlled airplanes out west (Nebraska I think), again no problem. They even used the aircraft runway. I thought it was cool. Invited them over to see my iconic airplane. They followed the rules and I felt safe. As safe as in a car for example. However with these new drones, anyone (Any idiot) uses them. I don't see anything to reassure me that I won't hit one. Nobody is even claiming that there is something to prevent a collision other than "it's a big world out there." At least that is what I hear you saying.
Tell you what, you're a risk guy. You said so. Want to play Russian Roulette? This revolver holds 10,000 bullets (or more or less, doesn't matter really). We put just one bullet in the 10000 possible chambers. We'll spin it every day and let you pull the trigger while it's pointed at your head. It's old ammo, it could misfire (near miss or cosmetic damage). It could blow your head off (Catastrophic failure of the aircraft). It could simply give you a life long, very painful injury (Someone got hit and hurt bad as a result of the collision). Sort of what I'm facing just so some guy can see how high his drone can go. So, want to play twice every weekend? Now imagine it's not just you. There are 50,000 other guys in the world just like you, pulling the trigger on that same gun after spinning it, only it's say more like 200,000 times a day because these 50,000 guys are flying more than once a day. You're saying it's no big deal because it's really a 1 million chamber cylinder or 100 million chamber cylinder. Only the cost is great if it happens. If one of those guys is unlucky, 150 people die that were on the
The point was made. There have been collisions and I think everyone knows it. It's documented. Here's another one - http://www.flyingmag.com/techn... . See, actual damage.
It's just a matter of time before someone gets killed. We had to adjust the attitude of an individual near my airport about two years ago. He felt he had the right to fly his copter in the air pattern for the airport. Well he hasn't been back.
I'm a pilot too and it's you that has the poor concept of risk. Above 10,000', there are no speed limits. Some planes are traveling at 500 MPH. There is no chance of seeing it let alone reacting to it. Ever hit a bird that high up? Happens and it's not nice. A bird up that high is rare, however I found one at 11,500' a few weeks ago. The area I was flying over was for the most part 0 - 300', for hundreds of miles each way. No idea why he was up that high.
I should have no worries about a drone that high up. I really should have no worries from 500' and above. If you want to go higher than that, get a real plane to take you. Funny you mention NYC. Around there the airspace is frickin' busy! I mean frickin' busy! I hate that airspace.
POTUS isn't supposed to make the laws. That's not what is happening right now. Obama does as he pleases. In fact, the present POTUS is closest to those fascists than Trump would be. Fasicism is to the left. Right of Communism, however clearly left of center. A lot of people think it's to the right. It's not.
Trump is popular because we think we can finally get rid of political correctness bullcrap. I think we're all for that. African Americans - who aren't from Africa can go back to being Americans. And so on.
Forget Bush, look at the despot we have as President right now. He makes his own laws. Even says so, heck, even SNL had a skit on how he's a dictator. Yet so many of his true believes overlook it all. Brainwashed into thinking they're racist if they don't do anything he wants. No, Trump would have to be worse than this guy and I don't think that's possible. Obama has worked hard to be the worst, surpassing the previous worst - Carter.
That isn't a problem. The President is free to resign at any time, and the Vice President will then take over as Acting President.
Yea, but you don't do that. If you get everyone fired up enough to put you there, the least you can do is serve. To be elected and resign just because he didn't want the job in the first place, well everyone should never trust him again. Let him become cent-less (not pennyless, the US doesn't make pennies, we make cents). He'd also have to turn in all his man cards. Even his squirrel on his head. That's really yellow.
However I agree he didn't intend on being caught up in all this. I bet he's like - crap! I might win this thing!
When you commit an illegal act, nothing protects you. Put simply, being a corporation, or any other construct doesn't protect you from the criminal code. They can look at anything in your house, other people's houses that are connected to the crime, businesses, and so on. Other countries often don't help protect you either. Let's not pretend there are rights or something is violated here. It's not. They did it and they're dead. I bet they'd be surprised that we're even having this question. I'd be surprised if there is anything useful on the phone.
Saying apple is coming up with a so called key is a crock of crap too. They'll be exploiting a bug someplace to do it. As a responsible company I'd fully expect them to patch it the next day and push it out. So what's the concern?
Besides, this is all a big show anyhow. I'm sure it was broken weeks ago. I'm sure Shamir knows that anyone claiming they have unbroken encryption is either a liar or doesn't know any better. If you think your little phone is invincible, well I have a bridge to sell you.
Heh...Thanks for the laugh! That's really funny to me. You're just two months into the new year and you're already declaring yourself the winner? Ok, that tells me you're a fool right there. Don't you know that God has a sense of humor? Maybe he'll wait until next year, when you're really cocky and bet say $10 grand on it... then pull the rug out from under you. Just like when there's a bad storm, or no storms, cold or not cold or fill in the blank. It's because of MMGW. Remember more hurricanes and more frequent after Katrina (one of Al Gore's quotes)? We've had fewer and weaker. Superstorm Sandy? Yea, not so much. It was just a hurricane. This was a superstorm - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... . Imagine if that happened today. Oh look at MMGW...This IS PROOF! Yea, not so much of course.
I didn't look at that reference that closely. I simply don't have the time. However it seemed clear he wasn't thinking multivariate. I've met a number of these government scientists, they think it's just CO2. If a scientist doesn't, he won't be there for long. That's clear. I've seen real scientists that worked for NOAA and such up until around 1993/4 time frame. That's when Al Gore came through the world weather building and had them fired, even guys that had worked there for 40 years. To me there was a clear agenda.
Offer still stands. If there is such a thing as scientific proof (using the scientific method of course) that CO2 is a cause of global warming and not a symptom, show it to me. Maybe I've been teaching too long. To me it's a lot like students that study a bit and know what the result to an experiment lab should be based on the text for a reaction. Then they fiddle with their data to get the correct result. As if I won't know what is going on. That is what is happening with their models. As you should know, the IPCC admitted they couldn't explain what happened from 2000 - 2015. Why it didn't warm as they said it should. Yet somehow they increased how confident they are that they are right. Don't you find that at least troubling? Probably not of course.
So start explaining - Feel free to use their models and reconcile the disparity for the past 16 years. Good luck with that. You can't do it with CO2 mathematically and I think you know it, or should.
OTOH, There was a hell of a methane leak in California, just recently capped - http://www.bbc.com/news/scienc... . Using their scale, Methane is 25X more potent than CO2 and this one was a gusher. Methane BTW really is a gas that warms us. We can show it using the scientific method, unlike with CO2. There are also a number of other methane sources out there this year. So if you win and it's still doubtful, it wouldn't be because of MM CO2. It would be because of real warming gasses out there. Notice how Spencer doesn't even mention methane. Certainly he should know about it. I mean, this is in what he's supposedly knows about after all. So how can we take him seriously with such a blatant omission?
Never the less, feel free to start explaining. I think I have at least one bag of popcorn. This should be good.
Yes. Going back into the 1980s. They generally get a good severance package, then move onto another higher education job, usually paying even more. So far, not a damn thing we can do about it.
Not impressed with your numbers. Small numbers voted for Obama as well. He managed to get elected on "hope and change." What change? Never said. I heard a glimmer of hope from I think Rubio today. He actually started to talk more like Trump. Probably too little, too late.
Hillary, I have a feeling she'll be indicted soon. Besides, I understand she has suffered a couple of strokes on the road and I understand she's showing signs of Alzheimer's. I think that was actually published someplace (alzheimers). I can't find it anymore due to all the articles on her wanting to find a cure for it, and her personal connection to it. Matter of fact, google "Hillary clinton stroke". Looks like a lot of concerns about her health. Smartest thing she could do is just bail out of the race, otherwise the decision may be made for her. She doesn't have to be President.
You give Obama too much credit. He'll go down as the worst President in US history. Carter, the previous worst has even said so. Economic recovery? Yea, that shows me you have no understanding of how economics works. I understand this may sound insulting as the idea was presented to me back in the 1980s on business tapes. Real economists predicted there would be a crash around 2009. 40 year cycle. Sure as crap, they were right. Understand this has nothing to do with who runs congress, the WH, etc. Has to do with birth records. Those retiring. The other arguments are for useful idiots. Obama employs a great deal of useful idiots to spread BS. Economics is probably the least understood concept out there. Most people can't even understand what a million is.
His real work was never allowing a new budget to be passed. That's right, the last budget that was passed was when GW Bush was president. Press says nothing about this, other than a small note perhaps. The one with the big bailout. That's why we have around a $20T debt. Add in his Obamacare, that's around another $60T in debt. It'll take down the country. He's also bringing in uneducated people like no tomorrow. Especially from Muslim areas. Well I could go on, won't. Of course, this isn't racist, this is fact. Facts that a lot of people can't handle. Look into it, you'll get mad.
First, do the people talking about the science get their units right?...
Ok, you have to look past that. Here we could very well have a situation where there's a *Super* Genius talking to a Reporter - someone that couldn't get a real job most of the time. At Maryland, if you flunk out of everything else, you can be a journalist. The dumbest of the dumb. So to me they're like the anti-science people. It's wonder reporting - If they get it right, it's a wonder.
I stopped looking into this stuff a long time ago. It's nothing, or if it's something it involves some really bad chemicals. Eventually they end up in places they shouldn't killing all kinds of people.
Look at history. No Democrat has succeeded another democrat since Harry Truman. I don't count LBJ because of the shooting thing with JFK. He was installed, not elected. Then he was simply re-elected. In fact, Truman doesn't count either, he succeeded Roosevelt when he died in office. So certainly no modern Dem has succeeded another Dem. Reps succeed Reps all the time. In fact it's just about expected. GW Bush stunk up the place so bad, he broke that.
Bad choices all around. A despotic pathological liar - Hilary (there certainly seems to be enough out there to say this), a Socialist without a clue (I'm not sure how this guy manages to pay for his own lunch)- Sanders, then the 3 ring circus that is the Republican party (hurry, hurry hurry, step right this way. Now showing the big guys ).
The way it is right now Trump will be the next Pres. I'm as sure of it as I was that Obama would be the next one in 2008. Of course, he was.
The country deserves a whole lot better than either party can provide. Feel like I'm just listening to the music on the deck of the Titanic. It'll be over soon.
What if there's a new world record set, will there be the dreaded asterisk next to the time? At the bottom it'll say Time was in a shit pond. This tended to make them paddle to near exhaustion?
They said this back in the 1980s. I used to worry about it. Why even get into Engineering or Computer Science when just 10 years from then I'd be out of a job? Well it's about 30 years later and not much has changed. Cars that drive themselves was predicted for the 1950s. Well here we are about 60 years later.
Based on that, I don't think any of us have something to worry about.
Now about that sex robot... I hope she has an extended battery package available.
Think of an autonomous weapon that lays dormant until it detects something in range, then wakes up, kills it and goes back to sleep. A landmine on steroids.
You think that won't happen?
There was one sort of in "Live and let Die." Bond is in Lousiana, tracking through a voodoo area. One comes to life, and tries to kill him. Well the best they can do for the 1960s.
I don't think that it's too easy. They said they were focusing on browsers that have made major improvements recently. That would be chrome, edge and safari. They had a lot to improve on. In the case of IE, it was miserable. In fact, there are sites out there that my Firefox won't even connect to because their security is so low. So far only Microsoft sites that still support export encryption and not much current, like > sha1. Sha1 and md5 breaks a lot of stuff now.
A copyright is just that, it grants YOU the right to make copies. YOU can delegate that to someone else. Certainly once YOU die, your right to makes copies should die as well. There should be a limit, say 20 years for a copyright. After that, it's public domain.
I agree with the proponents, why should we grant some liberal arts people special privilege? Why are they any better than anyone else? What they did is work. In your analogy, the copy they made for example the first hardback edition is the same as the stamp or gold brick. They can be worth a lot. However the words aren't protected. Even for original editions of works that are not copyrighted. Works that are hundreds of years old. This actually illustrates the point well. If you have the complete first edition of a book, say it's worth $15,000. If there's something missing, for example the dust cover - now it's worth just $1000. Sometimes much less. So obviously the content isn't what mattered.

Scary.
To me - clearly you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. I've hit plenty of birds over the decades I've been flying. Not one of them has left damage anything like that. Not one of them has left distinct lines like you see in that aluminum. It's ranged from no damage to having to replace some surfaces due to being deformed. Not one of them had an actual hole in it like you see on that wing.
So we have stories like this:

Not impressed with your numbers. Small numbers voted for Obama as well. He managed to get elected on "hope and change." What change? Never said. I heard a glimmer of hope from I think Rubio today. He actually started to talk more like Trump. Probably too little, too late.
Hillary, I have a feeling she'll be indicted soon. Besides, I understand she has suffered a couple of strokes on the road and I understand she's showing signs of Alzheimer's. I think that was actually published someplace (alzheimers). I can't find it anymore due to all the articles on her wanting to find a cure for it, and her personal connection to it. Matter of fact, google "Hillary clinton stroke". Looks like a lot of concerns about her health. Smartest thing she could do is just bail out of the race, otherwise the decision may be made for her. She doesn't have to be President.
You give Obama too much credit. He'll go down as the worst President in US history. Carter, the previous worst has even said so. Economic recovery? Yea, that shows me you have no understanding of how economics works. I understand this may sound insulting as the idea was presented to me back in the 1980s on business tapes. Real economists predicted there would be a crash around 2009. 40 year cycle. Sure as crap, they were right. Understand this has nothing to do with who runs congress, the WH, etc. Has to do with birth records. Those retiring. The other arguments are for useful idiots. Obama employs a great deal of useful idiots to spread BS. Economics is probably the least understood concept out there. Most people can't even understand what a million is.
His real work was never allowing a new budget to be passed. That's right, the last budget that was passed was when GW Bush was president. Press says nothing about this, other than a small note perhaps. The one with the big bailout. That's why we have around a $20T debt. Add in his Obamacare, that's around another $60T in debt. It'll take down the country. He's also bringing in uneducated people like no tomorrow. Especially from Muslim areas. Well I could go on, won't. Of course, this isn't racist, this is fact. Facts that a lot of people can't handle. Look into it, you'll get mad.
First, do the people talking about the science get their units right? ...
Ok, you have to look past that. Here we could very well have a situation where there's a *Super* Genius talking to a Reporter - someone that couldn't get a real job most of the time. At Maryland, if you flunk out of everything else, you can be a journalist. The dumbest of the dumb. So to me they're like the anti-science people. It's wonder reporting - If they get it right, it's a wonder.
I stopped looking into this stuff a long time ago. It's nothing, or if it's something it involves some really bad chemicals. Eventually they end up in places they shouldn't killing all kinds of people.
1) Green
2) Cheap
3) Stores a lot of energy
Pick two.
Look at history. No Democrat has succeeded another democrat since Harry Truman. I don't count LBJ because of the shooting thing with JFK. He was installed, not elected. Then he was simply re-elected. In fact, Truman doesn't count either, he succeeded Roosevelt when he died in office. So certainly no modern Dem has succeeded another Dem. Reps succeed Reps all the time. In fact it's just about expected. GW Bush stunk up the place so bad, he broke that.
Bad choices all around. A despotic pathological liar - Hilary (there certainly seems to be enough out there to say this), a Socialist without a clue (I'm not sure how this guy manages to pay for his own lunch)- Sanders, then the 3 ring circus that is the Republican party (hurry, hurry hurry, step right this way. Now showing the big guys ).
The way it is right now Trump will be the next Pres. I'm as sure of it as I was that Obama would be the next one in 2008. Of course, he was.
The country deserves a whole lot better than either party can provide. Feel like I'm just listening to the music on the deck of the Titanic. It'll be over soon.
What if there's a new world record set, will there be the dreaded asterisk next to the time? At the bottom it'll say Time was in a shit pond. This tended to make them paddle to near exhaustion?
It'll be great for the tv night comics.
Hey, too easy.
They said this back in the 1980s. I used to worry about it. Why even get into Engineering or Computer Science when just 10 years from then I'd be out of a job? Well it's about 30 years later and not much has changed. Cars that drive themselves was predicted for the 1950s. Well here we are about 60 years later.
Based on that, I don't think any of us have something to worry about.
Now about that sex robot... I hope she has an extended battery package available.
You lack imagination.
Think of an autonomous weapon that lays dormant until it detects something in range, then wakes up, kills it and goes back to sleep.
A landmine on steroids.
You think that won't happen?
There was one sort of in "Live and let Die." Bond is in Lousiana, tracking through a voodoo area. One comes to life, and tries to kill him. Well the best they can do for the 1960s.
I don't think that it's too easy. They said they were focusing on browsers that have made major improvements recently. That would be chrome, edge and safari. They had a lot to improve on. In the case of IE, it was miserable. In fact, there are sites out there that my Firefox won't even connect to because their security is so low. So far only Microsoft sites that still support export encryption and not much current, like > sha1. Sha1 and md5 breaks a lot of stuff now.
A copyright is just that, it grants YOU the right to make copies. YOU can delegate that to someone else. Certainly once YOU die, your right to makes copies should die as well. There should be a limit, say 20 years for a copyright. After that, it's public domain.
I agree with the proponents, why should we grant some liberal arts people special privilege? Why are they any better than anyone else? What they did is work. In your analogy, the copy they made for example the first hardback edition is the same as the stamp or gold brick. They can be worth a lot. However the words aren't protected. Even for original editions of works that are not copyrighted. Works that are hundreds of years old. This actually illustrates the point well. If you have the complete first edition of a book, say it's worth $15,000. If there's something missing, for example the dust cover - now it's worth just $1000. Sometimes much less. So obviously the content isn't what mattered.
Nope. I can remember my Nephew being caught by my Mother cheating. Not cool being caught cheating by grandma.
