Comment why would someone use such a tool? (Score 1) 393

Yet another reason why java sucks. Would you use a bandsaw if you could only use certain speed, blades and positions after paying the manufacturer extra? Oh... and we aren't exactly certain what speeds, blades and positions require fees. You won't know until after you've made and sold a product cut by the bandsaw. Just say no to Java...

Comment Where I'm at with this... (Score 1) 672

I've been hearing about crap like this since I was a kid. Jesus freaks here in the United States are anti-intellectual and anti-scientific. Fine, go teach your children whatever you want. The ignorant will becomes society's slaves and fools. For me... I'll make sure those who I love learn logic, math and modern science. I know how to protect myself and the people I love. Run society into the ground if you want. Have fun!

Comment Good uses for Drones inside the US (Score 1) 294

I actually think there are many good things drones could do inside the US. I wonder how many drones it would take to get a high resolution photograph every 15 minutes of every drilling, or strip mining site. Also... Highly concentrated pig and chicken farms... Oil refineries, chemical plants... To monitor activity and discharge at these sites.

Comment Does trust work for mapping? (Score 2) 178

If Google is doing this, it's not good. However, when you think about it... If a map CAN be defaced, can it be reliable? Perhaps they need some sort of moderated change system. This system need not be heavily reliant on human oversight. But for something that need be authoritative, changes should be controlled.
