Comment Re:A big “fuck you” to hobbyists (Score 1) 72

I'll bet idiots in cars have injured killed more people just today than idiots with hobby drones have in all of history. Cars aren't required to broadcast all of their telemetry and location data at all times, though. The idiots are the problem, not the drones.

Additionally, if your aircraft does not have an FAA-authorized serial number (e.g. it's a foam board Flite Test plane that you made yourself), it can ONLY by operated at an authorized flying site. ...and no applications for new sites will be accepted after 12 months. So they're basically destroying the entire model aircraft hobby/industry. :(

Comment Re:LED is a viable option in 40 Watt replacement (Score 1) 859

I think you'll find that your local big-box home store has plenty of CFLs in the >40 watt range. Home Depot carries CFLs up to 65W (replacement for a 300W incandescent!).
