well, that's a waste of a fountain pen. The bot doesn't use variable pressure so the writing looks just like it was written with a ballpoint pen.

Ahem, that memo you asked about? If one is Christian it's called the Bible. And it is antigay in a number of places.

Your post is longer than mine, so I think that makes you more pedantic than I am, and a hypocrite.

I happen to know that there are whole crowd-sourcing sites set up and funded (mostly by smaller law-firms) just to find the kind of "evidence of prior use" or "evidence of prior invention" that the self-mailed, registered, sealed envelope would be a prime example of.

Using a common term does not denote ignorance, it's a simplification.

It's just some old karate footage—or is it kung fu or some other martial art?—overlaid with the song's lyrics.

I wonder what responsibilities GoPro as a sponsor has in the case of illegal BASE jumping? Having go pro logos all over their parachutes kind of makes this a little bit dicey in my mind.

Makes me a bit concerned for the guy who's bent over in picture number 2. :-0

What makes you think that that's his job? He looks more like he's wearing an video exhibitionist / voyeur's cobbled together version of a fur suit.

Needs a companion version has the back half of a unicorn for your other hand. :-/

Seems more like this should be on Fleshbot than Toyland... :-0

Seems like an "article" based of of a CES press release...

Video recording a *vertical* jump in portrait mode? Yeah actually that's kinda okay.

Dueling is just a way to describe rich people doing what gangs do right now - fight to injury or death over perceived slights of "honor" ("disrespect"). This is part of the damage that "honor" based societies do, where it is better to kill or be killed than to have your honor besmirched (or that of your family).

Typically, I hate the book at this point.

That is probably the most over produced video for a niche product I've ever seen. It is pretty clear that the fireball effect isn't actually that impressive, hence the over dramatic video - it's really, really pretty, but it is all misdirection. A nice looking product, useful, perhaps, if you are a professional…

'All sci-fi is really fantasy.'

No, Harry Potter is not a Mary Sue (or Stu). He gets by with his perseverance more than his innate power, and a lot of help from his friends. In the early books he constantly had to go back and live with the Dursleys.

The title reads "How Ross Perot Saved the World's First Electronic Computer". It doesn't say "Helped Save". It doesn't say "Parts of". So, yes, alan_marchman is correct. Misleading title.

Yes, requiring a full maned aircraft pilot license for tiny camera drones is totally nuts, especially considering you can climb into an actual 254 pounds pound powered ultra light plane and take off in it, no license required. From the wiki:
