Wow, you have literally no idea what you are talking about. An ardupilot will turn any typical R/C plane or helicopter into a drone, which will fly itself. They cost around $30. If you want GPS, that's another $30-50. Lidar for elevation detection is about $50. Air speed, another $50. But if you want to run that lidar sensor you'll need a more expensive autopilot, about $200. You can use a sonic sensor on the $30 ardupilot, but that's really only good for quads and copters, not for planes. It is literally under $100 to turn basically any R/C model into a drone, or under $500 for a drone with autonomous takeoff and landing.

If the robot cabs are given laser beams and missile launchers they will. Boy will they ever.

Better question:

If the film was released as a movie, who would serve a longer prison sentence, the killer or the guy who leaked it on TPB?

I keep the bodies for the Nativity display at Christmas.

That's because MS Word and L/OO Writer are not word processors anymore. They're WYSIWYG document creation tools, i.e. they attempt to combine text input, text management, and document layout into one tool.

Besides which, word processors aren't feature complete yet. Even advanced text-only word processors like Textpad and Notepad++ are constantly adding new features, and has a leg up on Word/Writer on things like search and cursor movement.

And with persistent connectivity, there's a whole new layer of features for everyone to add.

Can you please stop starting comments in the subject line?

Anyway, how do you know that it wasn't a drone? A $250 plane, $50 battery and about $400 worth of assorted electronics including a Pixhawk autopilot module, a lidar, and an airspeed detector will get you 30+ minutes of flight time out of a fixed wing aircraft which can definitely carry and subsequently drop a cargo weighing a pound — and handle its own takeoff and landing. Is that enough like a drone for you? Remote telemetry costs more.

Not having fucking jetliners filled with fuel hitting them, I'll warrant.

So how many layers of chicken wire do you have to hang to completely block cellphones? Is it just one? That stuff is cheap enough to where it's fairly feasible to actually do that.

I don't think the problem is the guns, I think the problem is the mentality, and hiring people with that mentality on purpose. And that mentality is that "civilians" (like the cops are, though they think otherwise) are a lower form of life.

I presume you would need orders of magnitude more energy than is really feasible to ride on a magnetically bottled cushion of plasma. But it would still be a cool inspiration for special effects.

Or maybe it's not a lot of hyperbole. Maybe drug companies don't actually take as much care as you think they do. Maybe you're just making unfounded assumptions because they make you feel better.

The truth is that there isn't a recall every time a defective drug is found; and there is no reason to believe that every defect is detected. The drug manufacturers do not take the care that you think they do; at best, some of them do.

And you're taking it on faith that the pill was made correctly, when it often wasn't. So what's going to change?

See Beelzebub's post below yours.

This is exactly the kind of thing the OP was talking about.

In mid-air, no less! One of the flight crew puts on his super suction shoes, depressurizes the cabin and walks out and gets the krazy glue and sticks a new one on.

I mean, I can't tell you the number of times I've had flaperons fall in my back yard, along with flight crew whose super suction shoes failed.

Are there any factories along the Indian Ocean fabricating these parts for Boeing?
