I'll take the higher expense helicopter.
I don't want 50 of these drones flying over a city near you.
I want one person, the pilot, solely responsible for that flying vehicle in the air where his neck is on the line - so he can say with certainty "this vehicle is not fit to fly due to maintenance/etc.". Not some gamer cop that can blame the failed operation on a Windows (non systems critical operations O/S) blue screen or wireless interference. Or lose control of the vehicle to a cracker who will turn this against the police force trying to use it or sabotage it in a dangerous way to make the cops look bad.
I want the expensive helicopter to be used when it really matters.. not a 24/7 toy.
I want something that is subject to FAA rules on things like minimum operating altitudes where the pilot can lose his license... not some laptop heli toy that you can not hear coming that can do fly-bys in your backyard while your kid is jumping on a trampoline.

Yes. This happens when their only choice of browsers is IE at work due to IT policies and Bing is the default browser search box engine. The user could try and change the engine to google but try it... either you will soon find that changing the default engine requires you to scroll waaaay.... sideways (not down) or it will behind a second link once you bring up the search provider page in IE. This is something that a novice user can't find it if they are not being eagle eyed. I haven't done this recently but it used to be this way.

figure out how to deal with your debt

. Figuring out how to deal with my own debt is easy. It's the other three individuals' debt who have used this number in the past that I can't seem to figure out how to deal with their finances.. Telling the debt collectors not to call back does not work, the AG of the state has bigger fish to fry, final solution is to just set the ring to silent on unknown numbers. This will bite me in the rear when there is an emergency.
