Submission + - Iranian company to send toy drone to Obama (cnn.com)

PolygamousRanchKid writes: An Iranian non-profit company says it will honor U.S. President Barack Obama's request that Iran return a drone that crashed there last year. But instead of the actual drone, the company says it will send miniature toy versions. A lot of them. "We plan to send a full squadron of 12 to the White House for President Obama as a present," said Reza Kioumarsi, a spokesman for the Aaye Art Group, a Tehran-based non-profit, non-governmental company that makes novelty items. The company is trying to determine what Obama's favorite color is before sending the drones, which are 1/80th the size of the real drone, Kioumarsi said.

One former intelligence official said it's "impossible to see" and discounted Iranian claims that it had been brought down by some form of electronic counter-measures. "It simply fell into their laps," he said — after satellite communication was lost.

IF you read the above book and just use the subset specified, it's not bad in my opinion.

I don't actually program in javascript but may eventually. Intodays world you have to realize it exists. It's like a standard language that you will have to use sooner ot later.
Before reading this book I thought Javascript was the shit. The language to me was a fsckn mess but after reading the above book everything became golden..

Personally I like Ruby.
