Looking at the majority of responses previous to this, we find the majority of them to be from Anonymous Coward accounts, written in obviously non-native English.

  You have to wonder how many are real, non-biased opinions. How many are scared to post from an account with history, from fear of repercussion?

"More to the point, most geeks object vocally when carriers try to look at what you're doing. T-Mobile doesnt. They provide a pipe."

  T-mobile's DNS server feeds you to THEIR custom add ridden 404 when there's no resolution, and by default ignores any DNS server you have set. I can't remember the exact details, but it takes a little brute force to make the device use the DNS you want. And if I remember correctly, it must be done with each and every address lease.

That's hardly "not looking at what I'm doing"..

Wrong... any numbnut with as little as $10k can margin $30k to $40k worth of equity long or short. The minute the security (or what you're borrowed to sell short) falls out of cash value you have, the broker either sells it or covers the short.

  These days, selling short is even easier as you don't have to wait for a down tic to fill the order. Additionally, most brokers have sufficient inventory to loan for short sellers. The game's the same, the rules have changed to make it even less fair.

We all have fun poking at Mr. Gates, warranted or not. And, we can all believe that the 31.6 billion dollars his foundation has GRANTED since inception internationally is not much of a personal sacrifice in relative terms. But a least he's taking a shot. Surely, figuring out how to grant money effectively is more than a full time job. Regardless of one's opinion of the effectiveness of his benevolent ventures, there's more than just a financial commitment here.

  I find it honourable and surely it has majorly affected recipients in a positive manner. Undoubtedly, he has made life changing or saving differences in this world. If you had the ability to do anything, anywhere, anytime, had the ability to make multiple errors, sans ANY change (personal, financial, etc), how long would it be before you would just disappear from any public exposure?

  If you plant seeds in every place in the world, some of them will produce fruit and some will fail. I see the motivation as benevolent and don't believe condemnation here is deserved or warranted.

Before he removed the GPS, and Gopro . Now it's an RC quad covered with a shell. Now it's impossible to fly without line of sight and is significantly less efficient than it was before the "show" mod.

  Personally, I rather have FPV, RTH and the ability to program autonomous flight. Show and no go!
