... but what kind of idiot waves a pole around when moving at nontrivial speed near walls,...
There are many, many people ion this planet who are so self-absorbed, so oblivious to the world around them, that they regularly put others at risk.
.
At least those who walk into streetlight poles while texting hurt only themselves.
It appears that Windows slows down Windows!
I don't know what Microsoft does inside Windows, but over time Windows always seems to be unable to get out of its own way.
It's going to take locking some of these idiots up for a while until they learn.
Yup. As much as I am against regulating the drones, too many drone operators are doing stupid things.
.
Incidents such as this one, and the increasing number of close calls at major airports involving drones, are making me re-evaluate my opinions about drone regulation.
Too many drone operators are putting public safety at risk in order to have their fun.
What's it going to take before these idiot drone operators come to their senses? A two-hour delay in fighting a fire that allows a fire to go from contained to out-of-control? The crash of an airplane with 300 passengers on board? What?

I just made a note to never, ever read anything else Andy Patrizio writes. It is writers such as he who give tech writers in industry magazines a bad name.
geesh.

imo, it was a good decision, ==provided== there will be an effort to start moving off of Windows XP and on to a more sustainable environment than Windows.
Check this box if you can spell and really mean what you type.
There is, but unfortunately you can't set it up as a default, and you have to select it after you've done your search.
Go to Search Tools, you'll see a drop down currently marked "All Results", change it to "Verbatim", and you'll get a classic Google search (for the most part.)
I'm finding about 90% of my Google searches end up with my selecting that option. Google, seriously, when are you going to fix this?
If you put &tbs=li:1 at the end of your search URL, you'll get verbatim results.

Privacy in cell phone communications was not commonplace until some Congress critter's cell phone calls were taped and made public.
Privacy in facial recognition will not become a reality until some Congress critter is caught and embarrassed via the use of facial recognition.
Congress does not care about privacy until they are the victims of the lack of it.
