I'm just gonna take your sig at face value.

Ya know, I'll bet that if we didn't have so many science haters and pork barrelers in Congress playing games with the budget, that the National Aeronautics and Space Administration could do similar research.

Pellets don't gain velocity when falling to earth...Have you ever even owned a firearm?

EVERYTHING gains velocity (9.8 m/s^2) when falling to earth...Have you ever even heard of Newton?

The fact that the owner(s) showed up before the police did is proof that they knew where the drone was and what it was doing, and that they were in control of it: in other words, an admission of criminal trespassing.

And what do you honestly expect the response from the nice policeman on the other end of the phone would be? Something along the lines of "Yeah? What do you expect US to do about it?".

Indeed. What's wrong with the occasional "here's some pretty astronomical pictures" story? So it's medium.com, at least it isn't some tool's blog.

This is a top-of-the-line I7. It's for high-end workstations, not for ANY of "schools, governments, integrated devices, laptops, tablets, low cost devices, small size devices, and 95% of the general purpose PCs on the market". The kind of machines it's meant for will, by definition, have separate video cards.

CPU/GPU integration is for farmers, to paraphrase Seymour Cray.

Now you're REALLY in trouble:

It's Turtles® all the way down.

Their R&D engineers left when HP decided to stop making PA-RISC and Alpha.

Where's the kaboom?? There's supposed to be an earth-shattering kaboom!

It's really irritating when you read these articles where the authors treat hypothetical particles and real particles interchangeably, worse when you get tables full of them intermixed.

We're just gonna call that "justifiable homicide". Besides, it killed all the dinosaurs. So we'll scorel it a "win/win".

Yeah, because Bill Gates is THE go-to guy for opinions on software quality.

Or we could maybe use 1/3 of the DOD's paper-clip budget.
