Well, that's probably the biggest concern for the gov't - now that unmanned weaponized drones is a technology easily accessible to the public, the question is how paranoid will the regulations be? Will we treat quadcopters capable of hauling a couple of pounds of cargo as hobby material and put minimal regulations on…

RC planes get classified as weapons. Civilians now banned from owning and operating remote controlled planes by Homeland Security for public safety reasons. The war on terror marches on.

applying laws that don't quite fit is not the best way to go. Some old laws carry over to new technology just fine - electric cars are just as liable as old conventional gasoline powered cars when it comes to the road. But with small unmanned RC planes, regulations need more tailoring. They can pose a danger - just…

W126 Mercedes S-class. Doesn't particularly drive that well but I always felt like a movie villain behind the wheel.

You must forgive my error. I grew up with French as my main language and there, "prisonnier" is spelled with two Ns.

according to the Stanford Prisonner Experiment, your rewording creates a distinction that does not exist.

This system has also turned the architectural design of airports upside down.

thanks for the description. I guess it's more like an underwater zeppelin then.

Better?

TSA has also been caught saving images from the nude scanners and seeing scanned images released in the public stream. We all know an organization can't be cleaner than it components that make it up. You take most TSA agents and you'll find that they're uneducated and don't even know their own rules and policies.

so let me ask you something. Say you're going up an incline on the freeway with a noticeable but not "challenging" grade. Most cars and trucks are doing 70mph up this thing. Now my 79 Westy with a freshly rebuilt engine (stock level compression on all four cylinders) and new clutch still could not do better than…

I'll post the unpopular dissent to this. I owned a 79' air-cooled Westy. It was really really really cute. In your head, it's the perfect escape pod from civilization. It's like a space shuttle - everything you need smartly tucked away for travel and fun. Park it beachside and fall asleep listening to the surf…

so how did he misprocure the money??? did he steal merchandise? did he steal money from petty cash? did he sell his fuel?

right. my focus was on "Jersey Shore"...

heck, after the first million, you'd think he might shoo away quietly...

Indeed, there must be some missing things that would keep this device from working properly. I say this is quite the suspicious sales advertisement that merits a careful examination by a trained professional indeed. Good detective work!

Yes, it was widely used in the Vietnam war but it had its origin in the Korean war. Korean language translates "America" to "Migook". The GIs thought they were saying "Me... Gook". So the name "gook" took hold.

when I tried vegemite, the thing I disliked about it was not its flavor but its level of saltiness. I think that if it were about 75% less salty, it would be better and edible. For my taste, it was like a goopy version of soy sauce. As a result, I couldn't put more than a whisper of it on a slice of bread. I guess…

this is really smart design and storytelling. it was a great way to even up two very different opponents without resorting to a completely predictable setup. I really liked the industrial design in Aliens - the utilitarian functional look came first, not the fanciful whimsy of what looks cool.
