Does everyone else also have that right? How about someone who is engaged in a securities scam or human trafficking? Should they be informed about the under cover officer who is working to see them put away for stealing people's money or prostituting teenage girls? How would you like that information delivered to you and to those criminals? Do you prefer an RSS feed, or perhaps a PDF emailed weekly?

"Our bodies are attuned to the day/night cycle."

I have a feeling that most Slashdotters are more attuned to the CPU cycle.

Then I assume since you grew up surrounded by cars you have managed to become an adept mechanic?

Or since you've been surrounded by books from an early age you have become a proficient writer? (hint: the answer here is 'no' based on your grammar and spelling).

Or any number of other examples of things you were surrounded by since birth but might not have become expert at.

Actually, your second point IS the middle. The logical third point would be, there are those who think Kurzweil is a genius and is spot on about the future.

Their answer to that, of course, is that it's no longer "modeling" when you're flying something through the air for commercial use.

I agree that they need to follow proper rule making procedures, and get this done for real. In the meantime, it's a complete mess, and the administration is thumbing its nose at the law (from congress) that set a timetable for having this wrapped up. Deliberate foot-dragging with no consequences for anyone except all of the people looking to earn and spend money in this area. For an administration that pretends that it cares about the economy and jobs, this is just more of the same BS.

Who cares? The case in question wasn't about a glider. It was about someone flying FPV under power, diving under bridges through traffic, looping the hospital helipad, etc. That's not "glider" activity. The guy used the same style craft for his stunts buzzing the Statue Of Liberty and other high profile structures with lots of people right under his area of operation, while flying outside line of site. Props, spinning. Feel free to stick your nose or a finger into that while it's flying. I wouldn't.

Why not?

You see China trying to keep its rare earth metals for themselves, why would we not want to keep more of OUR own resources for ourselves?

Taxes should NOT be used to try to regulate behavior, that is not the function of govt.

Taxes should only be used to fund the constitutionally mandated functions of govt (especially the Feds).

Government is NOT supposed to be there to try to define or guide my behaviors.

The easiest way to reduce demand is to just tax fuel - don't add $1 in taxes, add $5 in taxes phased in over 10 years.

I'm not looking to stop driving my car?!?!?

I'm wanting gas to be back to about $2/gal...I don't drive SUV's either, I love sports cars.

But I'm not interested in anything (taxes like you mention) to make my gas more $$$. Most people are not either...

I was posting to say originally that we could increase the regulations in the US, to keep our fuels harvested here from going onto the open market, and keep more for us and keep our prices low.

I'm not against research for electric or other types of vehicles, but they aren't gonna be viable any time soon, so I want to enjoy my combustion engine for the rest of my lifetime at previously low, affordable levels.

In my work life, however, I'm finding MORE and more, all meetings are taking place online...with teleconference and software such as Live Meeting or the like with someone or multiple people taking turns sharing their desktops.

You really almost have to have PP type slides there as that a chalk board really isn't a viable option there...

You mean, like you couldn't possibly get a permit to launch a multi-stage, liquid fueled rocket from your back yard into LEO? Well, since you can't get that permit, they would be total asshats for fining you if you did it anyway, right?

The pilot's recklessness is EXACTLY why he was fined. The administrative judge's initial ruling (it was just an initial one - this still has a long way to go, including eventually to an actual federal court if the agency wants that to happen) was that the rule making process that was used to back up the agency's policy wasn't properly followed. So the pilot wiggles out of his fine on a technicality, not because he actually deserved to avoid the fine.

BRB got some photography to do. Think that's funny? You are disgusting. Hope the woman follows you, shoots you in the chest, castrates you, videos you as you bleed out and die, with her laughter in the background. Then puts that up online. THAT would be funny.

Wow...just wow.

I mean, some's privacy got a little compromised...a picture of someone's panties, and you balance that out with violence? You've posted this several times on this thread, and wow, you reactions are SO very out of line with the

Not even in the same ball park.

Maybe we should work on fixing society so that people on welfare don't have two choices, work for less than welfare, or don't work and have more money?

How about...unless you are provably disabled, or elderly, you have a ticking time limit on welfare, and you need to get your ass a job before it runs out and you starve.

Light a fire under anybody's ass to get out and work if they are able bodied.

Does "every kid" use an out-of-line-of-sight FPV RC plane to fly at street level through traffic, buzz a hospital's active helipad, and make people on public streets duck while the pilot is making video that he uses to show off the stuff he sells? Interesting.

Have you actually seen these FPV "foamies?" We're talking about things that are carrying a camera, a brushless gimbal, flight controller with associated daughter components, one or more heavy/dense lithium batteries, a prop spinning at high RPMs (frequently made from very sharp carbon fiber), and ... the whole thing can weigh several pounds, with some of them easily flying at well over 50mph (some well over 100mph).

Care to get "bonked" by one of those?
