"Weaponizable" just means that you can add a weapon, not that the vehicle has one. Police departments already have plenty of "weaponizable" things, you can add rocket launchers to patrol cars or give a nuclear bomb to a patrol officer. (Yes, that's right, a patrol officer can destroy an entire city! You heard it here first!)
FWIW, the police department has described uses that don't use weapons (various recon/patrol functions), while the CEO of the business pumped the weaponization capabilities. Could a future police department have a fleet of armed UAVs? Absolutely. But that hasn't happened yet.
Not to mention what the fuck does a sheriff in Conroe, Texas need a goddamn drone for? This isn't downtown Houston, this is bumfuck Texas (with suburbs).
Large are to patrol. Small number of deputies.
Counties are BIG in Texas.
No you didn't. Pure UL. But the laws setting up the FAA and it's predecessor (sorry can't remember what it was called, it's Saturday and early) clearly gives control of the vast majority of the airspace in the US to the federal government.
Let's face it. If it is connected to the internet it can be hacked by outsiders. If it isn't it can be hacked by insiders.
It is no different than banks. We hand them our money. It doesn't matter in the least to me if my bank is robbed my money is protected.
Obviously we need some similar protection with our data.
A record of the places my phone has been is kept on my phone or on the back-up on my computer. Since I assume I know where I have been I don't see a problem with it. There is no evidence that this data is being sent to Apple or anyone else.
The post from yesterday had this line in it. "After initial denials, Samsung has admitted they did this, saying it was to 'monitor the performance of the machine and to find out how it is being used."
Lots of people pay nothing for their schooling. For example, many Europeans (e.g. those in countries where education is completely free) and students whose education is paid for by charities, scholarships etc.
Really, how do those free European schools pay their instructors, pay their utility bills, or for that matter buy books? Nothing is free. It is simply a matter of cost shifting and it is usually shifted to the tax payer.
If there isn't someone worthy of it don't give it. It wasn't awarded in 1914-16, '23, '24, '28, '32, '39-'43, '48, '55, '56, '66 , '67 and 72.
And as the recepient of the prize is supposed to go "to the person who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses."
Wiki leaks certainly didn't do anything to promote fraternity between nations or reduce standing armies or even promote peace.

Horses I would suspect. Does that mean they should use them now?

I'm not a gun expert by far, but... is high accuracy really applicable to a shotgun?
It is if you want to hit anything.
No you didn't. Pure UL. But the laws setting up the FAA and it's predecessor (sorry can't remember what it was called, it's Saturday and early) clearly gives control of the vast majority of the airspace in the US to the federal government.
Not for long. Cessna outsorced it new Light Sport Aircraft build to China. Now they are talking about building Citation jets there.
Just don't buy the damn thing.
Every single SciFi hyperlight drive gets the mass of the ship out of normal space where, in theory, C is the same as C is in normal space.
"Cable is a schematic representation of the connectivity. Path might not be geographically accurate, and branching configuration is a best-guess."
Unlike an airplane that can glide and a helicopter that can auto-rotate when the engine dies on these things so does everyone on board.
I guess that depends on your idea of blanket and US for that matter.

Before I got my Apple TV which I use almost 100% for NetFlix my monthly home use was about 6GB. Now it is about 30GB.
It is only pain staking to the servant. I'm sure OBL was real concerned about that.

I have a bunch of feral razors that have been going through my garbage.

It isn't the job of the US Government to put a roof over anyone's head.

Which is to be expected when you give the award for "saying" things instead of "doing" things.

Everyone doesn't have TCAS.
NOTAMs are notices that they are out there somewhere and don't get read all that often by your average VFR pilot.
The last thing we need are huge areas of TFR above every city and large town that gets a government grant to buy these things.
Class B airspace is a tiny, tiny fraction of the nations airspace.
