Next they will require a 3g connection and a "kill switch" that will allow the "authorities" to disable a firearm as needed. I guess that would actually be a "no kill switch".

Obviously created by a man whose "optimistic vision of a future" includes women wearing mini skirts and gogo boots.

I was taught the same thing in the Army while learning to drive off road vehicles at high speed. Thumbs outside the wheel always when off road.

That depends on how much power you are willing to use to "jam" it and how directional you choose to make it.

This. I got roped into a sales presentation one time in Las Vegas where they were trying to sell land in some no-name town that supposedly had an aquifer under it and the land was going to be very valuable very soon. The minute I mentioned mineral rights the sales team whisked me out of there so fast it took my hat 5 minutes to catch up. Clearly the deal was not actually going to include the rights to the water, if any, and they didn't want me anywhere near any of the other victims^H^H^H^H^H^H customers.

The gun you are looking for is called a HERF gun. A HERF gun is a form of directed energy weapon. Think of it as an aimed EMP. The drone just drops out of the sky completely dead.

Too out of three isn't bad.

The most important line in the tech report by Mr. Weeks is the following:

So has anyone actually used this module successfully in the real world?

What people don't seem to understand is that you don't have to answer those security questions honestly. It just has to be something that you will remember of something that you can store in your password manager application.

So you're saying that the inventor of bitcoin should have used bitcoin to purchase a domain before he had invented it? Shades of Emmett Brown man, what were you thinking?

With the watch crown as a control device, this will probably be a non-starter for most left handed people. Most lefties that I know wear their watch, when they wear one, on their right wrist. This means having to reach across the watch and will require a fairly awkward movement to not obscure the screen while fiddling with it.

Cause it worked out so well for Microsoft...

Sometimes when I log into Yahoo mail (https log-in page), the secure icon in Firefox changes from padlock to exclamation mark. Same problem on Twitter, the https turns into an exclamation mark. This is a permanent problem on Google Image search. The worst thing about this problem is in Yahoo. When I press tab and am about to fill in my password, the caret jumps from password field to username field, which means part of my username now has appended to it part of my password. I only notice that after hitting Enter and the screen returns an invalid login error. My suspicion is that my ISP has somehow managed to inject a tiny Java script into my https log-in page. In Facebook, sometimes my first login attempt doesn't even register, so I have to hit Enter again. Is that me being too paranoid?

I suggest that you take a look for yourself.

The key difference being that one is legal and the other is not.

In part, that will likely mean actually allowing commercial drone operators to fly over your land at heights where they currently can't fly. Whether that's their intent right now or not doesn't matter; lobbying down the road will force that to happen. So, far from protecting you from drones, this is likely a prelude to be able to force you to let drones pass at low altitude over your property.

Let them try it. If I just happen to be flying my personal RC airplane at the time and the two should collide, oh well. A drone that is hovering makes a really easy target and I can harden the servo box for the impact. The rest of the plane is cookie cutter and relatively inexpensive.
