With 8 stitches in my hand, not more than 12 hours ago. I have just gained new respect for multirotors, they are powerful beast.

I really really hope that Amazon puts proper protection in them drones so there are no injuries. The little toy one I have spins at around 5000 rpm with rotors with 16 inches propellers. It can cause serious injuries, just ask my hand.

Who will be responsible if an injury does occur, which they will. If you look at the Amazon prime air demo, the customer asks the drone to descend via his smartphone. Say there is a 5 year old standing under this thing or comes running in its direction, are there smarts in the drone to abort the mission. Who is responsible for the injury, Amazon or the customer who sent the descend order?

better update their LinkedIn profile

That is what Saudi Arab is, another dude 8 years for raping, torturing and killing his own 5 year old daughter.

What I don't get is that when rebels had momentum, they did not use chemical weapons. Now that the rebels are losing ground and the Asad military machine is winning and gaining grounds, they go ahead and use chemical agents.

Personally, it doesn't add up. IMO, the most to gain with this show was actually the rebels. Nonetheless, politics played by Putin and Asad turned this into an advantage, once they hand over the weapons, the regime can crush the rebellion in the most brutal way followed by negotiating a peace on their terms (we can hope can't we).

Personally, I would support the devil I know, i.e. the Asad regime. The other devil have significant extremist elements, aka al-qaeda.

"Busy huge' feller..."

There corrected it for you.

Fool me â" you can't get fooled again.

Its becoming apparent that Americans are dumber than G. W. Bush Jr, or at the very least powerless in a so self proclaimed beacon of democracy, liberty and freedom.

G.W.Bush misquoted a proverb, at least you couldn't fool him twice.

Please mod flaimbait, but ain't this the truth.

Good at least one westerner who is partially correct.

Don't freaking interfere. CIA finally admitted its role in Iran too, somehow Iran is the monster for wanting nukes against a proven adversary.

You can think all you want that Muslims are lunatics, the matter of fact is all these guys, Sadam, Osama, Muslim Brotherhood and Kuwait were friends. Why would a friend be pissed at a friend. I mean, the only friends I am ever pissed at are the ones where I realize he is no friend at all.

This brings us to what Winston Churchill once said, "Countries don't have friends, they have interests". (and I am paraphrasing)

So, keep in your mind, its not that Muslim's hate you because you are an infidel, its because of the US policies of its own interest, cognitive dissonance is satisfied fine by saying that its because we are infidels that they hate us, the fact is, its the foreign policies. America was never a friend of anyone, it was their interest in cheap oil to keep the imperial engine running or keep Russians in Afghanistan at bay. Some half smart people figured out, be it Osama or Kuwait and saw it for what it really is, not a friendship but an American interest. Go blame them all you want.

Let me call NSA and find out.

I am sure there is a joke in their somewhere....

I can second that, I was in second year Computer Engg and recall the fan fair when this issue was to be released. Our local shop was taking orders with pre-payment to reserve a copy. Got my first intro to Linux with this distribution, at 100 hr total internet access for the entire year, at 14.4kbps dial up speeds, there wouldn't haven been any other way.

Introduced Linux to my university as well as had an early exposure of this OS that is still paying the bills today in some form.

Ironic as it may be, I didn't know this person was behind it till now. RIP Atul.

Grade 5, dad gets an Atari 800XL.

I asked for games, he bought in few books that had code for games in BASIC, 1000s of lines had to be punched in and saved on cassette tapes.

Soon enough I learned how to cheat with friends where I would get an unfair advantage during game play, the rest is history.

2KM is kinda useless once the missile has achieved ballistic trajectory.

At speed of 2.5km/second, the missile will whiz pass this thing quicker than any damage can be done to it.

Note both the videos show the missile at launch, when they are not at top speed, may work for Hamas to Israel scenario, won't work for North Korea to South Korea type of scenario.

Oh just this once I wish they have tons of useless patents preventing the "man" from doing this easily.

Deliberately buried!

Well, looks like you need free upgrades. We did a while back. The new platform manages BB and iOS/Android devices. If you have your BES 5.0 and earlier License CALs lying around, its a free upgrade to their new BES 10.0

Considering, going forward you will need to pay a monthly fee and the Trade Up program give you non-expiring licenses, I think its a worthy upgrade even if you don't intend to run BB in long run. At least you will have new CALs if you so choose to continue.
