cite it, chapter and verse, date enacted and by whom.

if you can't, its all just bs as I said originally.

not to mention the trying to define the drone as "aircraft" in the first place when the generally accepted definition is *plane*.

greedy fucks all of them.
"Run for your life from any man who tells you that money is evil. That sentence is the leper's bell of an approaching looter."

In fact it seems quite the opposite. It is Wolfe's code which is violating the other's license. He had no right in the first place to create a derived work using the non-GPL reversed code.

I'll get marked as a troll, but isn't this just another good example of why BSD license is better for all involved?

What is controversial is that there is in fact NO law and NO regulations applicable to remote controlled model "aircraft.". The FAA is using scare tactics in asserting there is law on this when in fact there is not.

It's radiation from the decay of Cs-137, and "what's left" is stated in Bq.

which is... beta of what energy? How many gammas? Alpha? Not all radiation is the same and not all effect living tissue the same way and may do so differently externally compared to internally.

1kg of pork with 10000 Bq/kg, your estimated radiation dosage is 0.13 mSv.

From..? I'll asume Cs-137. None of the stories on our boar friends say the average quantity, only a few "alarming" high end figures of 7K Bq/kg. I don't know about you, but I do not typically eat a kg of boar (or any other) meat in one sitting. I think most people would fall in the 1/4 kg range, perhaps less. So taking your figure, and those worst case numbers for the boar we are speaking of the order of 15% of one xray.

And what of the limit imposed by the EU? 600 Bq/kg? You would need to have boar nearly 70 times in a year to reach the one x-ray dose. So as I suggested at the start - the limits are way too low. If you want to label the meat, fine go ahead and put your scary stickers on it. But at least let people make an informed choice on their own whether to eat mr. boar or not.

College degrees are not the same as those from vocational schools which is what it sounds like at least some in industry prefer. Nobody graduating with a college degree has a very high skill set for a particular task - not even accounting majors. All start on the lower rungs but are expected to advance rapidly because they have the necessary broadbased knowledge to learn and use knew skills effectively. Simply put, they are not one trick ponies. Did somebody say ponies?

What is the nature of the radiation? What is left in the boar meat?

ANd clearly rem or Sv is more appropriate as what matters is the effect on living tissue (human, that is).

Further, the amounts in these boar are really not large at all. But better to freak out because its "radiation".

It seems that /. has decided to become Ukraine's mouthpiece. Ukraine is said to have a 130K active and 1MM reserves in their armed forces. Yet they can't seem to roll over the "rebels" and maybe, perhaps, who really knows, a few thousand ex or current Russian soldiers? Hey here's one of those elite rebels.. or is he Russian?

You seem to have drunk the Kool-Aide if you believe that the west (aka, EU, US) have had no involvement in the ongoing (over a decade) political instability in Ukraine. Here are just a few oldies but goodies

And of course there is the very long history of CIA and MI6 meddling in the internal affairs of, well, just about every country in the world.

Becquerel is a measure of activity and does not tell you anything about the nature of the radiation. It is a stupid measurement. Rem or Sievert would be more useful.

Radioactivity is often expressed in becquerels per unit of volume or weight, to express how much radioactive material is contained in a sample. But the unit of volume or weight is not fixed, so we may see becquerels per kilogram (Bq/kg), becquerels per litre (Bq/l), becquerels per cubic meter (Bq/m3), or becquerels per cubic centimetre (Bq/cm3). Of course we need to pay careful attention to this because 100 Bq/cm3 indicates 1000 times more radioactive material than 100Bq/l, which in turn indicates 1000 times more than 100Bq/m3.

So the becquerel is a useful measure of the amount of radiation emitted by a substance, but it tells us little about the effect of that radiation on our bodies. To understand that we first need to measure the amount of energy from the radiation absorbed by the body (called the absorbed dose). This is measured in joules per kilogram, or a special unit called grays.

But absorbed dose alone does indicate how much damage is done to the body, since different types of radiation cause different amounts of damage. So the absorbed dose is multiplied by a weighting factor (1 for beta and gamma radiation, and 20 for alpha radiation). The result is called equivalent dose and it is expressed in sieverts. This is essentially a measure of the amount of potential damage to the body from a given amount of radiation. Since one sievert is very large, we usually hear of the much smaller millisieverts (1/1000 sievert) or microsieverts (1/100000 sievert).

What better than to gin up TERROR! in a war weary US/UK population than planting a laptop with naughty bio-fetish dreams.

1) Nobody looked at the laptop for months. Really? Honest? Didn't even bother to check that for intel from your competion/enemy in Syria? Oh, Mr Journalist? Here maybe you like this, we are just using it for door stop.

2) Put laptop in hands of semi-credible news magazine looking for a big scoop to boost image.

3) Sit back and watch Fox News make it the number one story for the next 60 days while government(s) figure out how many troops are going to go where.

4) Announce troop deployment because of TERROR!

Now.. perhaps it is all legit. But to ignore the plant angle is to be led down the WMB path again with blindfold on. And nobody does this kind of stuff better than the UK, a country with a long and sordid history of using "journalists" to plant fake "information" to justify government actions and policies.

So.. assuming it is "true" (and if you take at face value anything Ukraine or Russia says you are an idiot) and we apply your idea of penalties, are you also willing to apply those to western nations (ie, US, UK, France, etc...) who have use air assets to bomb other countries, sent special forces into another country (invasion!), sent military "advisors" to help rebels/"freedom fighters", etc? Or shall we just ignore the hypocrisy of it all?

Can only imagine if Ukraine were some country bordering on the US/UK/France/Germany and a similar unstable political situation existed which was at least in part fostered by Russian political meddling (as opposed to Western in Ukraine). The tanks and planes would have rolled the border long ago.

and the storage problem would go away in a day. Hopefully the day of Reid's departure, natural or otherwise, comes soon. Then again Byrd lingered on for nearly a century...

crime syndicates are just as resourceful, if not more so, than state actors. To assume that it is a state actor because you did not think of the attack vector first is pretty dumb. in fact, trying to assert any attribution to cybercrime/intelligence is dumb.
