And in which case, directional RF jamming does nothing as well. The thing is flying on its own.
We're back to square one again.

The iPhone 6+ is in fact less bendable than the Samsung phones, and the Samsung phones have screens that will shatter instead of bending slightly...

But in fact the iPhone 6+ is easily good for more than a day of charge. So if you want an iPhone that you don't have to think about the battery, they already sell one.

AirBnB will reimburse up to $50k in loss or damage from a guest. Read that in a recent article about AirBnB...

But you mitigate that as a host by not taking every single offer that comes along.

Begged question, I'd say.

As long as my wife isn't watching what I type.

Right, I'm sure people would see a chalkboard, chessboard, leaderboard, and keyboard as synonymous in function with a skateboard and a surfboard (and a hoverboard as explicitly presented in the Back to the Future film, which they're aping).

Yeah, no pedantry there.

Well, yes. Obviously it would be a lot safer than shooting the thing. I never suggested shooting it.

But the problem is not how it is controlled, RF or GPS..but rather who is controlling it. Fix the moron, rather than intercept his RC toy.

I wonder what else uses RF and GPS? Aircraft and firefighters on the ground, possibly?

You can argue for or against various licensing, insurance, bonding, etc requirements but what it comes down to is they need to be consistent. If a given type of work has that requirements, then everyone needs to be held to it, or it needs to be removed. You can't have it where some people have to jump through the hoops, but others don't.

A more extreme example would be pharmacists. To be a pharmacists requires a great deal of training and certification, in the US at least. That is how it is: You wanna dispense prescription medication you have to have the right degree, and experience and certification. Well, we can't very well have that but then also allow someone to be a "medicine sharing service" that just has random uncertified people who dispense medications. I suppose you could argue drug dealers are that and, what do you know, the government will put them in jail.

So if you think the licensing requirements for taxi services are silly, fair enough, let's work on getting rid of them. But Uber and the like shouldn't get a pass whereas traditional taxi services have to comply. Either is is a requirement or it isn't. It should have to do with the type of work you do, not the name of the company you work for/with.

Try 10 times and assume that there isn't a cap after that... But he also blatantly broke the rules.

Please provide pseudocode that determines whether he used brute-force. Be sure to fully justify, with citations where possible, any violation of the zero-one-infinity rule in your answer. For example, why 10 attempts? Why not 9, or 11?

If you can do this, then your claim that he "blatantly" broke the rules might be valid. Good luck!

any project or developer that uses it is going to need that backup repository at github anyway

You should have backups of all your projects to media that you control in any case. Google has a track record of winding down stuff it doesn't want to continue (Reader, anyone?), but if you're betting on any source-code repo to (1) not go tits-up (as Google Code might) and (2) not jump the shark (as SourceForge has), you're putting your code at risk. Git, in particular, makes it dead simple to clone a repo and all its history in a relatively compact form, so spare a few GB on a server you control for a mirror of everything you put on GitHub (or whatever).

Perhaps this source will help.

You're joking, right? Real unemployment (not the bullshit numbers flogged by the regime) is probably on the other side of 20% when you take into account everybody who's quit looking in this shitty economy.

I'm glad you people weren't around when the Wright bros were doing their thing. Or the Panama Canal. Or the Hoover Dam.

Eventually, this will be a viable project. Decades at the very earliest, before the first shovel full is dug. And then decades later before the first mile mile is complete. Gotta let the enviroweenies have their say.
But one of these will be built. Eventually.

In chromium/chrome, you can save the file as "nobennett.user.js" and drag it from your file manager onto the chrome://extensions page; chrome will then give you a popup to ask you to confirm.

In firefox, you can install it using the Greasemonkey plugin.

There might be other options for other browsers; this was the first/only user script I've ever written, so I don't know all the tricks.

run a short test case

Sorry, that would be brute-forcing. Try again.
