Attention congressional assclowns! We view you as a cybersecurity threat, and intend to take care of it at the next election.

Wow that was an impressive misspelling of "surgical".

These aren't drugs or sirgocal procedures. If someone tries to raise a legal stink over it, I'd try getting it thrown out over freedom of speech.

The purpose of speech is to have an effect on people through words. "Congress shall pass no law", and all that inconvenient stuff. Certainly trying different words to see the effect is part of free speech -- and optimizing it at that.

Many older apartment buildings had a common antenna on the roof for a TV, and a lead in your apartment you could attach to your TV.

I wonder how that would play out in this modern environment, given it was part of your rent, even if not called out explicitly.

I wonder if modern HD TV is handled in a similar way in any apartment buildings, not that most people would use anything but cable anyway.

The only non-adaptive, risk-averse, useless, ancient dinosaur here is government-as-usual.

20 years ago, a department store chain called Crowley's in the midwest went out of business. They did so right after Christmas, refusing to honor all the gift cards people bought, claiming they were "contracts" now null and void.

They sold all those gift cards knowing they were going out of business. Nobody went to jail. My dad got ripped off for $200 for a gift card he bought for my grandma.

It's time to start de-electing politicians who are allowing this busybody (i.e. typical) government agency to run rampant without thought or control, like kings of old.

Now they have further narrowed the definition of model aircraft: If you fly it through video goggles, it no longer qualifies.

"Stop flying it more safely! You may only fly it the more dangerous old way!"

You do realize the NSA is monitoring this thread, logging IPs and tracking and...

And a bunch of better guys it couldn't be, go get those EFF and Greenpeace terrorist lovers. Take the frist psot while you're at it. (Note I didn't use "ur"! Yey America!)

Not only that, but I have no desire to give the government a way to profiteer off this, thus introducing a reason to have it yet keep the cost down in the "eh, cost of doing business" level.

Morpheus: You're going to learn, Neo, that there's a difference between a law that may or may not be a good idea, and whether the government was given the power to create that law by its constitution.

If it isn't, the correct course is to amend the constitution by the deliberately laborious process of convincing most people it's a good idea. This process stops, or at least slows, the decline to dictatorship by government exercising ever more expanded powers.

Neo: But The People!

Morpheus: We're here, and listening, but also scared shitless by human history.

I learned one important thing from that web site: It was programmed by yet another clown who feels it's vital to have a menu overlay taking up 25% of my scarce phone screen real estate.

I propose a Constitutional amendment to execute them. Whoever decided tiny screens need to be even tinier deserves it.

I assume US citizens can still find this stuff in searches.

umptions that the other way is better are silly.

Whence cometh the idea it's "only for recreational purposes"?

FAA, we The People, hereby instruct you to quit dragging ass and come up with commercial service. Yours is to obey us, not the other way around.

Also, Congress should get off its ass and mandate this too.
