I can't believe I am the first person to address the white elephant in the room; but here goes, dear apple 'Genius':

How can you possibly justify assuming such a pretentious mantle for the job you do? Do you actually think that selling Apple products put you on par with the likes of recognized geniuses like Einstein,…

No, that was my first thought too: you should not be physically able to drive onto a runway; no matter how stupid you and/or your mapping service are. Shouldn't there be a gate? With a guard? Checking ID's maybe? I think they call that "Security."

I agreed with most everything said in the video; but I don't think that it was necessarily the comments that JJ needs to hear. If I could write a list of warnings for JJ that were reflections on his handling of Star Trek (which is what actually worries me) they might include things like

No, I am with you too. I liked the prequels on their own. They aren't as good as the original trilogy of course; but if I only watched movies that were as good as the original trilogy, I would only have 3 movies in my library.

Oh man, not Disqus, it is fucking terrible...

Hmmm...Well, if you're referring to some other acronym that user maser, maybe you shouldn't link to the more common usage (repeatedly, even from your alternative definition). I've never heard anyone refer to an atom laser as 'molecular amplification by stimulated emission of radiation'; mostly because that doesn't…

That's what a maser is:
Microwave Amplified by Stimulated Emission of Radiation.
It's a microwave laser.

You know we built masers before we even built the first laser, right?

It would likely be more complicated than that. When you do an SVG conversion for an automobile, you need to include heating coils to get the oil up to the viscosity needed just to get it moving through the pipes, it's a solid at room temperature. You'd need an entire extra heating system until the engine was producing…

All good points, but those are all problems that we have some idea of how we might be able to work our way around. We don't even have theories about how to work around the problems of a pilot surviving (not to mention remaining in control through) a maneuver that exceeds ~8-9 G's (with a G suit). Secure, remote…

Maybe I can get mine to run on straight veggie oil?

I do have an opinion, and I stated it clearly and repeatedly. The fact that you didn't actually read my posts is becoming clearer by the moment. My opinion, restated in light of your ignorance and/or lethargy, is that you can tell someone they are wrong, as indeed the original poster probably was, without ridiculing…

Oh man, not even. I was reading an article on CNN a week ago that says an F-16 costs about $25,000/hr to fly. I know not all of that is gas, but I have to image it's a good percentage.

Yeah, I corrected my statement: it was the Navy.

What makes you think I have assumed that? Both the QF-4 and the QF-16 require quality software to operate. I have only assumed that a fly-by-wire system that is already controlled by computers will be easier to implement as an autonomous system then one that needs to have systems designed to manipulate manual…

Well, it was probably a US Navy F-16 since they have bases in the area and the army and air force don't.

It's not a designated military flight path either. I also launch rockets from the black rocket desert where we have an FAA waiver to fly to 200,000 ft. Technically, the military is supposed to stay out of our…

Since the F-16 was one of the first (if not the first) fighter designed with a fly by wire system and a flight computer to manage the fact that the design is inherently unstable; it seems like that converting F-16s to drones would be considerably easier than converting F-4's or other older aircraft.

If the army doesn't want them anymore I will buy one, I could go as high as $4,000 if I sell my Kia.

Heh, yeah this is the plane that the army used to buzz us with at Burning Man, usually during early arrival/setup week.

I'll give you a hint: if you've failed to find fault with me, maybe it's time to look in the mirror. Have a good night.
