I have a developer version of the Oculus I'd be willing to sell you for $700.

So what you're saying is that you don't buy anything, ever, from anyone.

He's talking about the props. On quads that small you can still cut your face wide open by messing about. Maybe not the store bought ones, but the ones people are building themselves.

Voters at large do not care who is married to wall street. Voters at large don't give a crap about Bill's behavior anymore. Hillary is the most mundane nomination who sits firmly in the can't do any worse, can't do any better line. No one is going to be energized to go out and vote against her. The right will certainly keep trying, it's why they dug into the email thing, Benghazi so early, even before this began. They knew they really had nothing to paint her as evil with, so they took what they could and ran with it. No one cares.....

In the US, the new chip thing that rolled out has been met with..issues. I've been declined at least three times now, they had to manually put my card in. One place it hung the entire system, and they had to call their payment vendor who rebooted it, and told them to swipe until told otherwise. That is about after 12 times of having to slide it in. The chip also looks like it's halfway worn off the card already. It simply takes too long to use as well, you can't just stick the card in and out and be on your way. You have to stick it in and wait for her to finish. Then pull it out.

I have a feeling this chip thing will be gone by next year and we will be back to swiping.

Bill Gates is also against it as well. He was upset people are posting these stories saying otherwise.

The funny thing is, when they lose range, they continue on as the last known stick position. So if someone set it to fly due north at a 10 degree incline, it'll just keep on going north gaining height and distance until the battery runs out. Usually about 5-10 minutes per charge for these X5C. It'll probably go far enough to freak people out and they'll end up with useless X5Cs on all the rooftops.

Thankfully the power is not enough to attach any sort of harmful device on them. At least, not the toys like the X5C.

If by "they", you mean the FBI paid the ransom to see where it goes, then yes, "they" fed the trolls.

If they had started to do this back in the XBox360 days. I love gaming, so I have a PC and a console. I do double dip time to time, for games like Battlefield, Fallout, and Skyrim. But if Microsoft is going to make cross licenses like Steam does with all its vendors for PC/Mac/Linux, then I would have bought an XBox One going into this generation. I'd already have saved money by Fallout 4 on PC/PS4 if the cross platform was just built in to begin with.

A good move by Microsoft for sure. The next generation after this, I'll probably be using their platform because of this alone.

Your words have merit, but not for this case. We're talking about fingerprinting, which is cheap and quick. You also need to look at the industry affected. In this case, the local cab companies, which are smallish businesses in the grand scheme of things. Smaller businesses are effected by a death of a thousand cuts more than larger businesses that can simply absorb them. In this case, Uber/Lyft are absolutely huge businesses compared to the local ones.

What we're seeing here is Uber not wanting to bend to a regulation that other cities outside of Austin may impose. That would in effect hurt them more.

As for an outside long view, and my personal perspective, fingerprinting drivers seems like a safe way to verify people say who they are, and keep potential bad apples away. Many businesses do fingerprinting, and if someone doesn't want to be fingerprinted, they simply avoid working there. I don't think this is an attempt to hard Uber/Lyft or help local vs national business. I think it's just a common harmless regulation that has been made, and should be followed by everyone.

One thing you failed to mention, AR-15s are incredibly easy to turn into automatic. I know, i've seen it done and used one. It takes all of a few minutes to change it from legal to illegal destroy that spare fridge and mod it back to legal again. I'm not sure how easy it is for other guns like this, but I was pretty amazed to see this in person. As a small kid at the time, it was the coolest thing ever. As an adult, it's the most terrifying thing ever.

Okay DAD. No, really, what they're doing now with real time telemetry data over miniaturized HD displays is pretty amazing. And affordable. It's a lot like where VR and 3D Printing is today vs the early 90s. It's leaps and bounds better and its finally at the point where it's about to explode to the general public.The technology leaps we are seeing on a month to month basis in the RC world is mind blowing. Since we're all computer nerds, a good analogy is right when the Pentiums came out, this is where we are just hitting with the RC industry and quads. It's freaking AMAZING. If this stuff interests you in the slightest, GET IN NOW to ride this wave. It's one of the best hobbies ever with all this cool tech.

Well, now you can. The cat is out of the bag. It's the point of the article.

At this point, Apple now knows child labor is being used in their products, so are you going to give them a pass from today going forward? Maybe, maybe not. But I am guessing where we are in 2016, the majority of people would expect Apple to cut all ties unless they fixed it.

When a buyer, say HP, gets parts and sells it with their brand on it and supports the parts under their warranty, it effectively becomes their product. You can no longer just point your finger over there. The finger is at HP, because their name is all over it. There is a difference here, and I hope you're not being willfully obtuse about it, because companies can and do decide who to do business with.

"We wont let you show this B movie from 1970!!!!"

Netflix has such a poor selection of movies. TV shows are a little better, but not by much. It's not like they're hosting blockbuster flicks like they used to do when they started up.
