Comment Windows 10 protection (Score 1) 219

So far Windows 10 has protected me from my music files (deleted), my purchased software (used to run in VM, not any more) and most recently hardware adapters like USB to Serial that I use daily to talk to embedded hardware. Thankfully, I still have a couple of Win7 machines that escaped the auto-update.

Comment Useless regulation (Score 1) 192

I "registered" my drone as required and nowhere in the process was there anything to identify my drone. In other words, my drone isn't registered; I am registered as a drone owner. What good is that? If someone misuses their drone the FAA sends out a list of local drone owners?

Comment Re:Ideas want to be public (Score 2, Interesting) 539

Convincing Kawasaki would be a better test. The well grounded sort are seldom visionary and a truly new idea will require more salesmanship than the average techie can muster. I completely disagree with the "don't worry about confidentiality" sentiment. Reputable professionals will sign an NDA and maybe even your friends should. Patents have been 'lost' by the determination that the information had been discussed in the 'public domain'.
