All of your examples involved people actually fighting other people, in person.

Drones aren't people.

I mostly agree, but the "stories" should have an icon or A "Poll:" in the subject line.

I totally agree with regards to the options.

A one pound SLR on a 6 foot pole would require a strong wrist and a sturdy pole.

That's what she said...

1,700+ have answered the poll, along with having to enter the "booth" and having it in the main story area.

DO NOT ANSWER MAIN LINE POLLS!

Seriously, imagine a poll with no answers. 1,700 is very low for a Slashdot poll, but that could be due to topical reasons.

Want to stop polls in the main story feed? Do not vote and do not comment.

This is my last poll comment, other than restating this....

I lot of people pay more than $240-$300+ for the NFL from DirectTV:

Seems insane at first, but cheaper than going to a couple of games.

I say move the lights to the sides of the screen and use a backlit keyboard. This allows for a document to be lit next to the laptop (this would be nice for gaming in the dark when taking notes).

And put a light on both sides rather than pandering to right-handed people...

These sort of deals, especially for companies like Yahoo and Oracle, do reek of a end of sorts in the near to mid-term future (2-5 years for Yahoo, quite a bit more for Oracle due to entrenchment).

What sort of end? I don't know.

I'd like to see innovation rather than degeneration.

It sucks that Oracle owns Java and is really in one market (not Java).

Yahoo is just trying to stay relevant. I do still use them for email, have been since around 1997.

The article already states that flight restrictions are in effect around a wild fire. So the regulations to prevent this is already in place.

Sounds like an awareness and education issue, the regulations for this example are already appropriate.

Firstly so I can know, secondly so I can decide whether to skip it (this one was interesting and has a couple of good comments).

Or move them to the sidebar as it should be...

I wish I had mod points, for this is insightful.

That would be an Amendment to the Constitution of the United States for Personal Privacy, but such a thing is less realistic than childhood imaginary friends (especially the ones you knew were imaginary from the get go).

I have no secrets because I can't have any...

Did you buy your low UID? That group is usually more insightful.

The Republicrats are one party and they control the entire election process. Third parties are doomed from the start regardless of funding.

I don't want to live in a world where terrible user experience is an effective weapon to keep information private!

They should train the network more and see how it changes these outputs.

Or, start out with a new network and see how things change as it becomes more competent.

This is awesome.
