A bit nitpicky, but these are not drones. Drones are typically much larger than 25Kg, have weapons systems, and are operated by a military. As per the press release, these are small unmanned aircraft.
Good grief. Apart from suggesting that WaHo is a good experience, I couldn't find one thing positive in any of your posts on this subject. Odd that you would mention them in a post about how unhealthy the State of Georgia is, but I'll just disregard that part - WaHo is a guilty sin. At any rate, I'm sorry your time here was so awful.
I've lived in a number of different cities through the years (Denver, Syracuse, St.Louis, LA,...) Outside of New York City, I've never found a domestic public transit system that took me to even half the places I wanted to go. For that matter, as good as BART is, I don't think they're much better than MARTA. Certainly one of Atlanta's problems, as you pointed out, is sprawl. A lot of people (not just white) during the 80s and early 90s decided suburbanite living was the way to go. Even with that exodus, we've also seen the population of the metro area grow from 2.9M in 1990, to 5.2M in 2007. It's hard for any city to absorb that kind of growth without major infrastructure overhauls. Some overhauls are stilltakingplace, and some of them look pretty darned cool.
I love living here. It's as good as anywhere else I've lived, and more often than not, better. (Well, Denver would have to be excluded from that list, but how can you compete with *that*?) Yeah, there are some pretty stupid laws on the books, and we could use a new Governer, but these are things that can be changed. Had you stayed, you could have helped...
I'll think of you the next time I'm out on the AT.;)
As an employee of GT College of Computing, I'd like to reiterate that Paul's opinions don't reflect those of many of us here. Just like many other places in the world, we have dissenting opinions running around the office, too.
As mentioned previously, NPR had a good interview with Clarke on Morning Edition today. The interviewer even researched the story enough to know the Felton case. Most impressive. Their stream is here.
The first rule of negotiation is: Ask for more than you expect to receive.
RIAA can't possibly expect Berman's bill to pass. They want DRM. Distract the media with something as crazy as legalized dos attacks and you stand a better chance of slipping it by on a bill that's a lot more innocuous.
But then again, the stupidity of the average corporate entity (and congress for that matter) is truly at an all time high.
On behalf of family members who have served in the AF, Thank you. We need a few more "fool" mouths like yours to balance off the loud, idiot mouths like Dr. Williams.
If DoJ does invoke the expediting act, it'll drag out whether MS wants it to or not. It will take years for the Court to even hear the case. Which, if you believe what some are saying, will not only cost a bloody fortune, but also put MS in a more favorable political and judicial climate.

Probably the most fun I've had in server naming was at a previous job. We used The Inferno as the convention, and named according to sin. It allowed us a pretty natural matrix to categorize services and still left plenty of room for expansion/reassignment. The fun part - it was an NT network. 'Greed, avarice, gluttony, etc...'

To what degree cameras are coordinated isn't a conspiracy, it's an eventuality.

The ipod porno.
For all the times I've had to listen to you Britons say "Those Americans are so bloody daft.... "
HA! So now who's gone bananas?!?
Well, you can bet the RIAA won't make the mistake of overlooking his campaign funding again! ;)
Obligatory link to NPR stream of same.
So does this mean they'll take on Blockbuster for only renting the censored version of a film?

Good Lord, I've deep-linked to NPR.

"...Your credit card info could very well be compromised."
Shouldn't that be "I just wanted to let anyone in Bellvue, WA know your credit card information HAS been compromised..."?
Actually, the A has (at least unofficially) been changed to Annual.
According to the nice woman at WPBA ATL30, this show will air on April 10th at 23:00.
