You must have won something. I suspect it was a participation at the Special Olympics. Do try to keep up. It is not even a difficult topic. If you need help with big words, ask one of us or your mother to help you.
In my particular case there can only be one reason, realistically. And hundreds of feet? Meh... Two I can deal with. Double that? Hmm... I am probably not going to waste a round on it. More realistically, I would never notice.
You certainly implied it when you claimed it was based on fear. When, really, you know it is no such thing but is about privacy. However, yes - you should bow out now. It will make you feel as if you have some sort of mythical upper-hand and will boost your poor self-esteem and that, really, is important for some folks. I wish you luck.
You are mentally ill (or were drunk). No. No modern military teaches you to hate the enemy. That would be stupid because the soldiers will realize that the enemy is just like them, just as smart as them, and is fighting for the exact same reason you are. Hating them will cause you to underestimate your enemy. If anything, you want to respect them for so very many reasons including how they will treat you should you become a captive.
No, I am going to stick with you are an idiot actually. It makes more sense, logically.
If you have no direct experience with something then, perhaps, you should avoid attempting to make factual statements about it. What you think, what you feel you know, has absolutely nothing to do with reality. Lesson: Do not be dumb.
True. I am not all that large nor all that small. I dare say I am about average for my height and build, a little heavier than some. I suppose you have no real point and just wanted to discuss our physiques? We can have this discussion if you want but, really, I do not see how it is relevant.
No, some of us not afraid, we're just ornery. I realize you think you have a right to use my property and I will happily cede that right to you but for one thing... You must ask permission. I have acres and acres of land - all open to the public with custom printed signs that encourage folks to make use of it (and to call). However, this chunk is mine. I will still let you use it but you must ask. There is not one legitimate reason for a RC toy to be hovering and returning to film me on my property. I will shoot it and take it to court. I will win and you know it. I *can* afford it. I will set precedent if need be.
Hell, earlier tonight I posted directions to a landmark from my house, follow it in reverse - look for the signs and find the longest driveway on the left, lots of vehicles with a blue BMW sitting outside most of the time - and you are able to come test this theory out if you want. It may take some tries because, honestly, I am far more likely to not even notice it but - on the off chance that I do AND I am able to retrieve a firearm in time, I am going to shoot it. Obviously we can not set this up as a test case. It would be implied permission. So do not tell me if you decide to do this. I'd love to take this to trial. (Actually I'd just pay the fine. You know I am not going to get in any real trouble for it, right? It is not as if I live in the middle of a town.)
It was a Remington in your last comment. Nobody would cheat on their Mossberg 500 with *any* Remington. Unless you have one choked and the other is your defense weapon. Given that they are in a safe... They are probably not for defense.
However, I still want to know (they said the same thing in the last thread) who are these people hunting with? If you shoot me and it does not hurt me then, no! I am not going to be okay with that. I may fire back and that is going to escalate quickly.
Using the 2nd Amendment, as written, I think we could make that argument logically. Obviously it is not logical to allow it BUT if we use the 2nd, as written and intended, we could actually argue that. Mind you that this has nothing to do with how it is interpreted and I am not, by any means, suggesting we use SAMs (or any weapon of mass destruction) but, in order to defend ourselves from invaders or from a tyranny we should be allowed to arm ourselves with weapons that are capable of doing so. So, yeah, we could actually get a good legal team on it but it is not going anywhere - ever - as no sane judges would even accept the case as it fails at face value. Well, someone would hear it but it would likely be in Texas and not actually make it past a circuit judge. The supremes would just refuse to hear it no matter how good the argument is. Quite frankly, this is one of the rare cases where I agree that we probably should err on the side of caution as opposed to the spirit of the law or the letter of the law.
I agree entirely. I can make that shot easily. I have a slight advantage over most. "First and foremost a Rifleman."
Again, I would make this shot. It would not be gleeful, and I would likely buy the person a new drone (perhaps a nicer one) once the legal dust settled. However, I have no problems facing the courts and think it should be decided. I would take that responsibility in a heartbeat. Incarceration is not an option, really. We all know that. Not for the drone shooting at least - not in this type of situation - and certainly not where I live. Now, he was in a residential section where discharging a firearm is usually illegal. He should face a trial by his peers for such (or a bench trial if he wishes). I do *not* live in a residential area and regularly fire as many rounds as I damned well please.
More realistically? I probably would not even notice the drone.:-/
That really does not change my opinion. I would shoot it down too. Of course, yeah, I live miles from people so they would have to be deliberately spying on me. There is no rational reason for me to not shoot it down. I might get a civil offense for it. Meh... I can pay the fine. I will sue them in civil court for duress, not for any money but to keep them from suing me. I *have* a lawyer on retainer. I am a good shot.
If I remember the form properly (I am not actually sure I can say this though, frankly, who gives a shit? I think disclosing the form's content was against the rules.) then every single one of the records from the OPM hack was also covered by HIPPA. There are medical questions, including contact information, on those documents some of which are quite specific. Hmm... That should be legal?
I still do not think I needed to fill it out - I had absolutely zero access to any information that would do anyone one lick of good. If you do fill one out, make sure you are complete and honest. They call on people like your best friend's high school girlfriend and shit. Very invasive. I disclosed drug and alcohol use and still was fine. I just needed some data though and all data was accessed on site.
Why in the hell would you expect combat to be perfect? Be glad you have not witnessed this. Innocents get kills all the time. That does not make it right - it makes it how it is. Much like you goobers with the autonomous cars - they only have to perform better than humans. There will still be accidents. That is tragic. If you want to avoid civilian casualties maybe consider not going to war. Seriously? You want perfect?
Behind a single IP address may be many computers - let us not forget that. I have all sorts of them and businesses have far more. I would not be totally surprised to hear there were 4 billion connected devices.
I have three static IPv4 addresses oddly enough. I am not sure why. They are nice and I take advantage of two of them but I got them as default with my DSL service. They have not changed in years and I do not see a line item on my bill for them nor do I pay for business class service. I wonder if this will change in the near future?
I would download a 500 GB Linux OS with all the current packages waiting to be installed. I do not have a good reason for doing so but I would do it. I should mention that I think my ISP hates me. I have many TBs downloaded and uploaded every single month. Even if I am not home there is something being done - I will VNC and download stuff that I found while I was elsewhere. My ISP really should kick me off their service. I have to be costing them money at this point.
If they'd make a good Pinochle game I might actually buy a game. The last good one was a.jar file I stumbled across on the tubes. That was back in the Razor days. Wow...
I had WSUS setup here for a while, I had an AD and roaming profiles too. I live alone... *sighs* I do have an MSDN subscription, however. I also was doing a lot of opiates at the time. It was kind of fun, really. I beat the hell out of it, trying to picture what a stupid user would do. It was rather robust actually. Fortunately, I sobered up. I do, kind of, miss the roaming profiles. Coupled with NAS it was easy once configured. I simply changed MX (and A - maybe?) records and had them all pointed at my static IP address so I had a public and private email setup for a while and had an ISS setup as well.
It all ran on rather basic hardware but, obviously, it was subjected to a total of one user unless I bugged a buddy to play around with it - which I did from time to time.
This was just a couple of years ago - they have really gotten their act together. The last time I had done such was about eight years ago. It was multi-site and took a while as it is not my area of expertise really though I did have help as we had dedicated IT staff by then.
Does your ISP not provide one? They do not even collect the old ones here. I have several new ones still in the box actually. They ship me a new one at least once a year though it has been three times in the past six months approximately. As I have three DSL lines (long story) I have too many routers. I do not know why they ship me new ones, I do not use them. They sent a set of three that were shiny and stuff. I plugged one in and it wanted me to go through their website to access it. They said it was to better manage my service. They know better... I have a small rural ISP with great contacts with the engineers. I sometimes wonder if they just have them sent to me because they know I am a geek.

Fear vs. privacy... Can't be anything else...

No, reality does change my opinion. The height does not change reality enough for me to alter my opinion. This may be a troubling concept for you.
I am 5' 11" and 172 lbs. Thank you. Your stereotypes do not really suit. Wait until you find out I am a leftist by any definition of the word.
That really does not change my opinion. I would shoot it down too. Of course, yeah, I live miles from people so they would have to be deliberately spying on me.

No need to reply. No, really. You do not need to. You are dismissed.

There is a fork in this thread that supposedly works. I do not have Windows 10 installed so I have no idea.
