Agreed. Can we file this under:
No Shit, Sherlock
Given that the editors can't even manage to file stories with "Ask Slashdot" in the title under the "Ask Slashdot" section (I'm looking at you Timothy!), I would have to say probably not.
My guess is that most slashdotters would happily go along with doing away with cash.
Your guess would be dead wrong, at least for this slashdotter.
RF jamming and/or GPS spoofing would be a better/easier way to down these craft, and a drop from 500 feet into a forest fire would have the same deleterious effect on the airframe that bullets would.
Except that for many drones the default behaviour in such a situation is to freeze like a deer in the headlights right where they are. That's not going to help anyone in this situation.
I guess it's time to post a significant reward for information leading to the arrest of the person who did this. Apparently just the news stories about how stupid this is isn't enough to dissuade these idiots. So a good stiff fine is needed, and his drone seized. Hopefully that would finally send a message. Time for someone to 'fess up and spread the word to others.
Don't worry. The individual in question will self report via a youtube post within the next day or so. Problem solved.
There are no standards to ratings, no commonality among them, and little in terms of a rational guideline to do the reviews. These changes impose a little bit of discipline, but IMHO, Amazon's search functions repel users more than the reviews attract them.
The latest trick I have been seeing is the "there's a newer version of this item" link on an item's page. Click on that link will just take you to the same item being sold by a different seller. I don't know how the seller is managing to get their version flagged that way though. No way to report the issue either.
Couldn't we just stop being petty bastards and just give out free food to kids at school? Food is not expensive in America. All this bitching about budgetary constraints is just another example of the middle class and poor at each other's throats...
Because by having a separate program for the kids who need free lunches, we can be sure everyone knows who they are. Even more importantly we can also make sure that they know who they are and that they feel properly ostracized from good, proper and polite society.
there's a lot of information that the software tracks for the school district's purposes that isn't part of the export to the state reporting agency or to Title I or anything like that right now,
FTFY.
I shouldn't have to, but wearily I hasten to add that frivolous shit must not be allowed to squeeze into these programs.
Agreed.
That means frivolous cosmetic surgery, frivolous sex-change mutilation, degenerate drug binging, etc.
Oh, you were talking about the recipients. I thought you meant the program providers. carry on.
cats that chew on/claw power supplies deserve to be eaten.
After being properly fried of course.
Initially developed in the late 1970s, C++ is a powerful general-purpose programming language, and is still widely used for writing mission critical and performance-sensitive applications.
Hardly. Stroustrup first introduced C with classes at Bell Labs in 1979. It wouldn't be known as C++ until at least 1983.
Take out a couple of big transformers with a rifle and you could cut power over a very large area with a very lengthy repair time.
Friend's dad worked for the power company back in the day. Need some overtime? He and his coworkers would disappear with their 30-30s for a couple of hours. Next thing you knew there were transformers down after the coolant drained from mysterious new holes.
