It seems that this is more removing that annoying ding when you don't put on your seatbelt and just leave the light on your dashboard, but make it dimmer.

I like the idea of the 3D printer mainly because I have 2 small kids and a dog, so toys are broken or chewed quite often. Being able to print new parts and figures overnight as a treat is a nice idea. My problem is the $4k price tag on one plus the plastics and other work once printed. I like it being popular because more and more things are being made for the hobby, but I'd like the demand to come down, and the price for the basics to get started.

Done the first day I heard this was a consideration and that all of my senators and representatives are backing the bill... Let your people know that you're watching and they'll need to answer for this. Call, email, write a letter. You can't bug these people enough.

My wife and I have the 2005 Toyota Prius (40+mpg) and are currently debating on whether to try for another. The cost for the vehicle is higher than a standard car, and the new regulations make newer cars almost as efficient (30+mpg) as the hybrids in city. Our biggest issue has been the cost of repairs for the vehicle. The electric engine has given us more issues than the gas supplied side plus our other gas powered vehicle combined.

That is understandable, but these aren't small drones. One of them crashing into a house would cause significant damage. I agree with others in this thread talking about a system that can use logic and a compass to figure out the signal is gone and the new signal is a decoy of sorts.

Could you imagine the headline if it had exploded in Iranian airspace?

This patent is for the word correction feature that has been in Microsoft Word for years. This isn't original. Complete bunk!

Did you even read the PDF that you linked? The paper is letting employers know that they can hire international students. When I was in school, we had a lot of international students that couldn't get jobs because nobody would hire them. They had to work on campus or for some charity for nil to nothing. Read the articles before you go blast us with ignorance.

Sony is coming out with a better reader that has PDF support. I'm holding out for that one. No word on if it's the same kind of deal though.

but I'm glad that someone is challenging them in this way. If you're going to have a device that is touted as one of the most powerful and useful, don't stifle the development community by rejecting the better applications they send your way.

Was thinking the same thing. Was my favorite cartoon for a while.

I'm really sorry... really :-/

Tax the Sh*t out of them... no pun intended. Cow Fart News

I don't mean this to offend, just putting my 2 cents out there...

So you're basically saying that there should be a subset of people who do not have the same rights as you, just because they have a grander vision?

They are public...Google

I don't see how we will suffer for having a repository for information. I agree that it may be slightly annoying that we can't do anything in public without a camera in our faces... but it's public. I don't go outside with the expectation of not being seen.
