ok, so just use an helicopter and load it with some random human and you'll be fine... no restrictions (as long as you don't crash). I'll use this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hughes-269A-Helicopter-/201447206828...

but tiny toy battery-operated "drones" typically fly at much lower altitude then any jet engine would be flying at... while some birds fly at much higher altitudes then toy quadcopters...

Drones are army planes that can fly for hours and probably weight hundreds if not thousands of pounds... Quadcopters are toys that can fly for minutes and weight only a few pounds...

They probably should require all birds to be geolocated as well... since they present about the same level of danger to real aircrafts..

If Obama had the opportunity to do the opposite of pardoning him, I'm sure he would. In fact, a drone strike might be what he is thinking about if he wasn't in Russia.

my guess would be that all stars would look about the same but be at different distances because of size (otherwise, no life)?

Re:Chattanooga to offer 10 gigabit internet service starting today

somewhat off-topic but 10Gbps would be pretty hard to fully utilize for the normal user... mosts sites/servers probably won't even send you small files at this speed.

I'm in Florida, English and Spanish are the only 2 languages and most are English but there is probably 10 to 15 Spanish channels. But to tell you the truth I only watch a few of those, just like I did when I had cable.

When Obama says something meaningful, you can assume that it is a lie... like stopping the militarization of local city police forces with MRAPs and such (or not renewing the (un)"PATRIOT" Act..

I would be using the phone as a backup of my main data and I don't care how long it takes to first transfer it because it would be fast to transfer the data changes using wifi-ac afterwards
Ask HN: 512GB flash is cheap and small. Why does high-end phones have 64GB?
Any reason besides trying to push cloud storage? Someone need to Kickstart a phone with reasonable amount of storage on it...

Health insurance is somewhat the same too... Hospitals and Dentists have special rates for insured patients (much higher)... you can end up paying the same as an uninsured patient... Which is why I was getting hospitalization-only insurance, but with Obama-care, I can't do that anymore.
Also, I have been told that it might be illegal to claim that you are uninsured, pay the bill and then get reimbursed by your insurance company to avoid surcharges... not sure if that is true.
