simple get another quad and hang a net from it. Fly it above the offending quad and tangle the props and land with it.
In the US you own the airspace up to about 500 feet over your land so it should be completely legal if done safely. AKA don't do it over people.
It is accurate and misleading at the same time. People think of drones as military style drones while small RC aircraft are usually called RC models and have been for decades. The AMA is not happy about the use of word drone because they have had a very good relationship with the FAA up till now.
As to RC aircraft with cameras. I remember reading about people putting cameras on RC planes back in the 70s. Of course that was in the days of film.
This was a guy with radio control quad or a guy with a drone depending if you want to be scary or not.
You are forgetting the other part of the equation.
The working poor do not have a lot of time to cook. High fat and salt foods taste good and are fast to cook. A really good healthy meal often takes more time to prepare so that it is tasty.
The fast food places do not prey on the poor with their $1.00 menu. They offer fast calories. BTW salt does not make you fat. It is good to limit your salt but it is the calories in the food that make you fat.
Honestly most of the working poor I see are not overweight at all.
OpenCL, Cuda, CAD, POVRay, Blender..... Not everyone uses Linux the way you do. There are many linux systems that do not have any graphics cards at all and just use a UART.
Intel graphics just plain suck... Actually they are not too bad these days but really do not complete with AMD or nVidia.
I think part of the problem is that analog has shifted of the mainstream for hobbyists. Let's face it, a lot of best engineers start as kids and kids today are not getting into HAM radio all that much but instead are working with Arduinos. It is sad.
I like the idea that Humans developed time travel and went back in time and set up the universe so that humans are the only intelligent species in the galaxy and made time travel impossible. But lets face it. Humans have only been a technological species for around 130 or so years depending on where you draw the line. You could have a lot of civilisations that never develop past victorian levels of technology. Or we just have not been interesting enough for long enough.
" Also unlike Florida, it would have been not nearly so far from the Houston command center."
Cape Canaveral pre-dates NASA in Houston. You see mission control was in Florida for Mercury and Gemini and was moved because... LBJ had some buddies that would make a lot of money if Mission control was moved to Houston. The Eastern Test Range which is what NASA uses for the Cape was already set up and working long before Houston Control.
It is also not as far south as you can get in the lower 48, that would have been Key West and their was a navy base their but logistics would have been terrible.
It does not have to be A or B.
A police officer on the job in pubic has no expectation of privacy just as you do not have any expectation of privacy at a bar. "Outside of the restroom that is".
A person on a phone call does have an expectation of privacy.
sigh...
I said Asimov invented the term Robotics not Robot.
Wow people on Slashdot just can not read....
The play RUR is where the word Robot comes from.
Robotics was a term invented by Asimov.
"But if you want to talk about the guy who invented Robots "!="Really the man that invented the term robotics"
Yes I have heard of RUR but just can not find a copy, been looking decades on and off. Asimov invented the term robotics. Different thing. I did not mention RUR since it involved killer robots.
No they could have said that this was a private conversation and is nobody's business. Just as Slashdot should not post stories about it.
The discussion should be on privacy IMHO. People get bent over someone wearing Google glass in a public bar but they are not jumping up and down over the broadcast and people making judgement and commentary on a private phone conversation?
Really?
Really the man that invented the term robotics did not fall into the trap.
BTW the movie of I Robot in no way qualifies as a work of Asimov. It in now way reflects his books.
Many people are unenthusiastic about their work.
