Same approach as capturing bats. Since it was only about 10 ft up at times, toss a blanket over it and bring it down. Hey, look what I found on my property!

The article says they have laws against firing guns in the city so there is a point behind arresting him for that.

The drone owner was definitely acting improperly but I also don't think fire first and ask questions later is the correct approach. I'd try to get the drones attention with a gun to let it know this is unacceptable, then if it sticks around it is time for some drone skeet shooting.

I think he should get whatever the typical penalty firing a gun in the city is, otherwise just a slap on the wrist. The drone owners should have gotten hit harder by the police though.

This. My desktop stays Windows 10. My older laptop is kind of my unstable release test machine so it has had Windows 10 since beta (or whatever it was called) and my new touchscreen laptop (tablet alternative) will be upgraded from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 when I'm happy with 10 (and probably after I get done using it for lecture notes when teaching this fall).

Parents showing responsibility? How can we expect this if their kids don't... er... hmm.

Well for WiFi, the available bandwidth means if I see a 50% reduction I'm still way over what my ISP can possibly provide. Also I don't really want to run Ethernet over the back of my couch or to the dining room table (or the toilet...) or may other places I find it convenient to develop software at during different times of the day.

Depends on the range, if I have to stick it right up under the monitor I'd rather just have a wire keeping the phone out of my way.

When I'm not provide any work phones, my smartphone is my work phone. Which works out because most of the security people I've talked to say just don't take pictures of things on site.

So nice to see slashdot is still so tolerant of different perspectives.

And updated to eliminate unsafe methods to keep the licensed operating safely.

Sounds like it is not a taxi company if you can take away their taxis (cars) away and they can do something else. At least that's the way I read it.

True but most of those burger flipping jobs or registers require enough reading to look at the computer screen showing the next order or read the instructions on what to put on the burger. Not being able to read is almost like a special need. Admitted though you don't need to be able to read or write Shakespeare.

If you can talk the government into giving the unemployed 50k, I'm never working again. I can live quite good off of that.

Or as I like to say, if we had perfect people or perfect leaders we could have a perfect government. We have neither so the government we have is not perfect either.

We killed them all in the revolution...

That would require the level of intelligence to... I don't know... find a job in an environment where robots are common?
