Comment Okay, enough is enough (Score 2) 249

We are turning into a nanny state, and we need to put a stop to it. There are no reasonable arguments for spying on people with 30,000 drones.

To combat such measures against American citizens, we need to start developing plans to take these things out of the sky. Perhaps we can do this by interfering with their radios, causing them to crash, shooting rockets at them, shooting at them with conventional firearms (while wearing a mask of course), or chasing them down with other drones and ramming into them. We need to be able to easily, cheaply, and effectively stop them. Of course, and I think it goes without saying, I'm NOT advocating that people actually do any of these things, but we still need to discover the best way to do it before it's too late.

No, most motorsports do not use an automatic transmission. Many race cars do use newer automatically shifted manual transmissions such as: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual-clutch_transmission

The only "motorsport" I can think of which favors automatic transmissions is drag racing, and those are specially built units. Slushboxes are no good for really any other type of racing.

DLP and all other rear projection televisions are a constant source of problems for purchasers, who are often confused and talked into buying things that they don't want by unscrupulous salespeople looking to make a quick buck. The Mitsubishi televisions specifically have had numerous issues with their circuit boards, on top of the short life of their expensive bulbs. I'm sure nobody will miss these DLP units.
