Yes, he did.

If you're too fucking stupid to realize that when you rear-end someone it is 100% your fault, then you need your skull thumped until you get that through its thick ass.

Unless the guy in front of you is backing up:

AT NO POINT IS IT EVER THE GUY IN FRONT OF YOU's FAULT IF YOU REAR END HIM.

IT IS ALWAYS YOUR FAULT. ALWAYS. ALWAYS. ALWAYS.

Read that about 9 billion more times until you learn not to make such fucking stupid statements. assholes who think there are excuses for rear-ending people ARE THE PROBLEM with driving.

Comment Re:There are always options. (Score -1, Flamebait) 628

what kind of anal retentive asshole would not want to receive Windows security updates?

The kind that doesn't like his computer breaking randomly because MS decided they knew better for him than he did.

Why is this even an issue?

Because updates regularly break stuff for people, or change things in ways they don't want it to be changed.

If I upgrade to Windows 10, I want every security update the second it comes out. Sooner, if possible.

Then you're an idiot who must have someone else do all the work to keep their computer working and have no idea what these updates actually are.

More likely, you're just a really shitty troll.

Either way, if you think this is great, you're a short sighted moron who needs to get some experience working with computers (any of them, not just ones running MS products) and then you'll understand why this is a fucking stupid idea.

RF jamming is worthless since there is OSS hardware and software for full autonomy and I know of at least one that will run OpenCV natively so they have facial recognition on top of it.

Easier, for now at least, would be listening devices to pick up the distinct patterns of sound generated by a multi rotor. This too has already been done with commodity hardware and OSS software. The sound is distinct enough that it can be picked up pretty far away even in noisy conditions. Certainly from the distance your homemade drone has any sort of usefulness

Comment Re:Logical fallacies galore (Score 0) 75

Your quite ridiculous personal attack on Stallman suggests that you are mentally and socially challenged, with no developed sense of propriety nor common decency, and certainly no ability with logic.

Pot, meet kettle, you're both black.

And best still, the anonymous coward rants against the identified user with excellent karma. Yea, its me that has the social issues, you're so right.

Shut up fanboy.

Really? You think Stallman is the only one in the free software world? He's not the only one, he's not the first, his just a loud mouth prick that arguably does more to hurt the image than help it.

GNU isn't HIS just because he came up with the idea, he is part of it. It would exist without him in some other form because the people involved with it would still have done it and you have no idea (nor do I) if the world would be more or less friendly to OSS. All he does is rant and rave and make an ass out of him self. No one that matters takes him seriously. Linus and Alan Cox have done more for free software this year than Stallman has ever done, and they aren't even trying.

Comment Extremist (Score 0, Troll) 75

Stallman is an extremist... There was never any possibility of satisfying him, it's not worth the effort to even try. He's kind of a free software terrorist if you think about it because if you don't do it his way he makes it his personal agenda to hurt your product.

He's also a massive hypocrite who says "it's fine to make money from free software" and then proceeds to bitch and moan about anyone who does other than himself because apparently the only legitimate way to make money in his mind is by eating toenails and being a leech on society.

So ... Who gives a shit if Stallman approved, no one that actually matters.

Comment Can't fly? W.T.F? (Score 1) 143

But in places with little air and no fossil fuels, where you can't fly and there's little drag,

Wait, what?

I'm aware of several designs for heavier than air aircraft for flight on Mars. You can most certainly fly on Mars, you need a lot lower wing loading, so a much larger surface area, but other than that, theres not really any difference. Its just like flight high up in our own atmosphere.

Its not the moon or Pluto, it has an atmosphere. And by treating it as such, you've already show you're idea probably isn't worth discussing for the reasons your bringing it up.

Comment Re:Slimmer devices (Score 1) 89

The chip is a tiny sliver of silicon, it has made no significant contribution to device "thickness" anytime in my 40 years of life.

It effects power usage, and therefore battery size, and through that device thickness.

Going from 14 to 7 is nothing about physical size and everything about electron flows.

They can't actually make the dies smaller even on the new process because you still have to dissipate the heat it generates. AND bring in hundreds of electrical connections to the package so it can actually connect to things other than itself.

The whole "thinner devices" comment in the summary just lets you know the submitter doesn't understand why size matters.

His wife probably agrees
