Then they'd have to convert their estimated yards to feet to see whether the drone pilot's claim made sense. GP was being kind to do the English conversions to matching English units. The raw numbers are easier to compare than imagined distances.
That would mean that 200ft was actually 250ft. (0 would have been 50ft) More likely: the altimeter wasn't calibrated. I haven't seen the video yet, but it would be interesting to see what the height registered when it was at human head-height (5-7 ft).
It's the *sky*. Arguing that someone lied about their perception when distance becomes very subjective is a fool's errand. 200 feet is still pretty close. Close enough to shoot down with a shotgun apparently.
Unless properly placed, lights create darker shadows (relative to the light) that are easier to hide in. Most street lamps are placed without consideration to existing structures, and new structures don't cause existing street lamps to be altered.
That's a force. Two opposing forces can result in a net acceleration of an object (and thus velocity as a component), but it can also result in zero acceleration, which is no gain in velocity. The opposing force in this case is friction with air molecules. The two forces eventually reach a point where there is no more acceleration known as "terminal velocity".
It's a far sight more memorable than h6FA!j#Aq63K3 which is what developers still think is the golden rule of password formats. I recognize that I'm bad at random, but I can remember made up words just as easily as real ones. Any fan of sci fi or fantasy novels can rattle off a ton of words that aren't standard English.
Make a passphrase generator. I've got a script that uses a few *nix dictionaries and finds actual random words. It's like a word of the day calendar except without the definitions. The bad part is that "naughty" words get thrown in the mix, so if I'm ever generating them for other people as a one-use passphrase, I have to vet the list or risk HR.
"This flaw is present in the latest version of Yosemite, OS X 10.10.4, and the beta, version 10.10.5. If you upgrade to the El Capitan beta (OS X 10.11), you'll be free from the vulnerability as Apple has already fixed it in that preview beta. Once again, if you keep up with Cupertino and install (or buy) the very latest stuff, you'll be rewarded."
lolwhat? That statement is ridiculous. Since when unstable beta is considered keeping up with updates.
Well unless "rewarded" is meant as synonym to pwned.
Because there's never security holes in beta software...
Agreed, that statement from TFA is pretty stupid.
The ridiculous part isn't the security holes in beta software. It's that the article assumes beta software is "the latest updates" or that you can get it pre-installed when you buy the latest hardware.
Who really wins these lotteries? The advertising firms designing every new scratch off ticket. Every week there's another new "game" that has a million advertising spots on radio, TV, billboards, etc. If it were about income for the state (tax on the math challenged), then they'd just need a few scratch offs that never change style and a big lottery for the dreamers. There would be little to no need to advertise (or to have a hushed, sped-up voice admonish listeners to "play responsibly"). This is about funneling money to the advertisers, and using the advertisers to grab (or create) as many gambling addicts as they can get. That's a sick thing for government to do.
Ant-man (the title) is one of Marvel's oldest heroes. This is the new ant-man, so Alpha Flight pre-dates him by a bit, but Alpha Flight were introduced in X-Men, which might make them part of the X series of characters for movie ownership purposes.
it's just as important in today's world as learning algebra, literature, or music
Algebra: largely unimportant for most people. Nerds are the exception. Some adults entering college have trouble with fractions. Arithmetic is useful for nearly everyone though.
Literature is very unimportant except as a means of homogenizing culture, but TV does that far better these days. Reading and writing are important.
Music is basic to humans, and while I don't share the drive to listen to music that others seem to have, I do have a drive to create music (much to the detriment of those around me). Music is a great avocation, but spending time to learn about music in school isn't really as necessary as a lot of people think. We all know people who have no idea what a clef is but lead otherwise successful lives.

It's called a chilling-effect, and as the AC mentioned, if your goal is to prevent future messengers, it works pretty well.

It's not a sign of failure to say the game is finished with development.
I'm still wondering how History got away with trucking/fishing reality shows.
Here's how: http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/i...
I just wish it were Ma Bell.
It's long been believed that are five distinct things that your sense of taste can detect (sweet, sour, bitter, salty umami.
That's only four. Oxford Comma-Man, AWAaay!
They'd be smart to reduce prices sooner unless they want people getting used to the taste of "honey sauce: 99% HFCS, flavored with real honey!"
Most people increase emissions as they age. Might I suggest trying Bean-No to start?

Good thing Gollum didn't have one of these; he would have won the riddle game!

This is intended to create cancer with frickin' lasers. Cancer sucks enough already.
I hope the Ministry of Silly Walks is conducting a full investigation.

Finns can't figure out how to use html5 video? Or are they contracturally obligated to use flash?
And why were all the aliens speaking Galactic Basic anyway? I could see in the senate, but on their homeworlds and in their own ships?
