Get the FMA Copilot which uses the horizon (infrared) as a spacial reference. A GPS can be used in conjunction with this to provide a bearing with waypoints. A 30-dollar gyro can also be used (they're standard with every RC helicopter) to maintain proper roll attitude. These setups are used in conjunction with stanard RC equipment. They can take over if the transmitter signal is lost and return to origin. The one thing all this cannot do is safely land the aircraft -- that still takes a human behind the transmitter. --edfardos http://sierraglider.com/ RC Aerial Photography

Okay, continue that thought, say Microsoft gets a judgment against you. Then what? nothing. You don't have to pay. The government doesn't force you to pay. Worst case Microsoft sells the judgment to a collections agency, they get nothing, and you get a phone call every week. The US judicial system only enforces the law for corporations and the rich who subsidies the political system.

okay, on the lighter side, they must have used Excel to calculate the severance eh? :)
