Comment Seems like jamming would be easier (Score 1) 151

Most drones operate using either 2.4 or 5.8Ghz frequencies for control. Seems like downing a drone just requires a RF jammer with a directional antenna. I suppose that the targeted drone can still get up again once you stop jamming it, so that's a difference compared to the fighting drone.

I also suppose this wouldn't block drones that were set to operate autonomously.

Comment 90 days is really long (Score 5, Informative) 263

90 days is really long. The US CERT vulnerability disclosure policy is 45 days as described in http://www.cert.org/vulnerabil... (see that more more details). The problem is that you have to balance two conflicting needs; in the words of the CERT, "the need of the public to be informed of security vulnerabilities with vendors' need for time to respond effectively."

Comment The Guillotine (Score 1) 790

Given that the guillotine was last used in France in 1977, and last used there publicly in 1939, it's not a sound that should be at all familiar, yet I suspect most of you can bring the sound to mind—courtesy of innumerable historical dramas and the dedicated efforts of Foley artists.
