I think he’s suggesting the costs could be nil because the police are doing the actual enforcing after the laws are made, and not the FAA themselves. So if the FAA is just taking the registration fees and keeping records of them, then the 3 million they got last year in registration fees more than covers the website…

I had a similar line of thought when I was wondering what the fee was actually for, since I’ve never heard of anyone getting checked by someone with an FAA badge at the park to see if they are licensed. I assumed the police had to be doing all the footwork, in which case, I had hopes the fee was in part paying the…

Thanks for going into some detail on this. If Im understanding you right, the government mandates that they are responsible for this additional task but does not alot them the funds necessary to pay people to do it, so they have to take a fee when someone registers because they can’t add it on as something like an…

It’s not that I “don’t like paying the government”. I don’t like paying what I THINK is the government and getting my bank account cleaned out when it turns out not to be. Of course, I do like to know what the fee actually does too once I know I’m paying it to the right person. Thankfully TJ seems to have explained it…

I’m trying to make sure I’m actually paying this to the FAA and not some spoof website run out of China who was going to try and clean out my bank account. When theres a chance “Only 5 bucks” becomes “My entire bank account the next few months trying to get it back”, I like to ask questions. And if I’m spending my…

Thanks, I’ll probably have to try the battery compartment then, or maybe just barrow a labelmaker and put it on the hard plastic outside of the battery.

Thanks, Im checking it out now. Hmm, this site also seem to charge 5 bucks for a 3 year registration, unless I’m missing something I’m supposed to do here?

Thankfully these don’t actively hunt for human hosts. Yellow Jackets are some b***ards however. If I’m not mistaken, they’re the ones who know how to triangulate projectile attacks. I don’t know what’s more astounding, the fact they developed this ability, or the fact that enough humans threw rocks at stinging hive in…

For the record, what is the official website to register a drone? I’ve got a parrot bebop 2 that I tried to register but there were several URLS like www.federaldroneregistration.com/ www.drone-registration.net ‎and droneregistration.com.

It could be worse:

Anyone know a good 4K TV in the 42 inch range with HDR and AT LEAST 6 HDMI ports? I dont mind if it’s ONLY got HDMI ports either.

The last time he was reported as dead but reports were wrong, I had a conspiracy theory that it might be true and he had been laser-scanned to be CG’ed into all future marvel movies/press.

“The study looked at 363 people in six kitchen test facilities located in the Raleigh-Durham region of North Carolina and in the town of Smithfield, North Carolina”

Im glad Im not the only one who sees these flaws in the system. I have to hope that even with the flaws we can come out of it with our hands cleaner.

I’d urge people away from the Motorola brand after the last few months of watching my father deal with his brand new moto z2 play (I think thats the name of it?) Given, he got a bad phone in the first place it turns out, but the customer service was horrendous trying to get it replaced with a new phone. Even when he…

I have not played Yokai watch games, but didn’t they have some functionality with an optional watch toy peripheral akin to that wrist band you can get the gems for on the newer 3DS pokemon games? I wonder if the doors tie in to a similar gimmick? Maybe they will have “door cards” that are basically NFC/Amiibos.

It reminds me of one of the prominent fan renderings of the 3DS based on developer comments before we saw it was another clamshell design. I don’t have a link or anything, but it had just one larger wide-screen with a slide out control pad that also rotated vertically for classic DS gameplay. I liked that concept…

Animal Crossing New Leaf felt like a significant evolution to me, especially compared to the ones preceding it. Of course, I’d like to see them expand even more with the next one. I felt like being the mayor didn’t offer too much. I’d like to see the mayor able to do more ordinances, and have them divided be class so…

I’ve got the original “Stubs The Zombie, Rebel Without A pulse” Xbox disc, and for some reason its not part of the Xbox 360 backwards compatibility program, and yet I can buy the game on the 360 console as a digital title. Seems like an oversight to me, because obviously it runs on a 360 if you can buy it from their…

It reminds me of that patent filing Nintendo made a while back. I wonder if the patent was for THIS specifically, although the patent seemed to indicate tech that allowed the screens to know where they were relative to eachother without user input.
