Exactly.

But in the mind of libertarian nutball Cody Wilson, lawmakers will just say "Welp, he beat us, time to pack up and go home, I'll see if I can charter an APC for us since it's gonna be like Somalia out there. This is the worst day since the basic theoretical disproof and repeated cracks of DRM made us give up on digital copyright issues."

My BS meter is immediately going off because:

- It's a story about how crazy the Chinese government is, this topic is prime BS news breeding ground
- It's a little too good to be true
- Many sources have deleted the news, current source is "Agencies."

I fully expect to get the full story in the next Cracked.com BS news roundup.

And the parodies of the film will be called ... UPS.

The scene will involve a UPS driver putting boxes in the truck in a neat manner all to the tune of the Russian classic "The Peddlers" (aka "ÐsоÑобÐÐнÐÐÐ")

Keep in mind these are asians we're talking about, and according to their action movies and cartoons, they have about 10 gallons of blood stored under high pressure :-P

Yes, this is a common set of mistakes and misunderstandings as well as the bizarre focus on grant money over the money in the entire fossil fuel industry that the average climate denialist partakes in.

Then you really won't like legal media which includes DRM which will make the user experience vastly more frustrating than it would be for a pirate, and/or online authentication servers that usually go down at some point in the future, rendering your purchase useless.

Your equipment will now have 57% brighter indicator LEDs on the front to burn your retinas at night!

That sounds like a challenge :-P

But seriously they're not Americans so they're not going to fill any object that could be a fun target with holes just because they can get away with it.

Yep in these parts, most of the rich have government "connections."

Recently had a similar incident with illegally imported cars. Quickly forgotten about. People kept cars illegally discounted by a greater amount than an average Joe's annual salary around here.

My dad works for a guy who isn't *physically* hiding anything on his property, but has hidden all the money spent to build it in a hilarious shell game. And yes he has government "connections." And a sweet little guest house for his motorcycle.

You can view the age of an image and see images from different times using the full Google Earth client app.

Because it's going to be less than the weight of a large candy bar. 12km is a very long flight for a quadcopter. I'm surprised they didn't use a fixed-wing aircraft. It would be harder to automate but one RC pilot's salary isn't a bad price to pay for this publicity stunt.

It's time to measure SPACE DICKS again!

Nope can't find any evidence that iPhones ship with a full bash install, but they do have the capability to run some bash commands.

Maybe they could make it in the form of a green LED armband so you can always tell how much more car time you have!

The little old lady wouldn't have to know about it. She sends in a background check for the bagger, it comes back saying Something Bad because he's on the government's naughty list, and the little old lady doesn't hire the guy and yet doesn't have any idea a Do Not Hire list exists.
