This is so stupid since they can be forced to give information with no hacking involved...

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...
Re:U.S. Will Require Drones to Be Registered on Saturday October 17, 2015 @10:23PM (#10406984)
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...
Re:U.S. Will Require Drones to Be Registered on Saturday October 17, 2015 @09:26PM (#10406888)
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.
Re:Photos of sunset with the sun replaced by other stars on Saturday October 17, 2015 @01:02AM (#10403448)
my guess would be that all stars would look about the same but be at different distances because of size (otherwise, no life)?
sorry for his loss... Twitter appears to lack something from management.
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.

I get about 50 free over-the-air channels ... most are HD.

of course if you pay for everything on-demand, you don't need anything else...
Re:The Drone Papers on Thursday October 15, 2015 @02:21PM (#10394936)
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..

That sure ain't less the Internet service alone, I pay $25/month for 25mbit/s download
I was thinking mainly of infrastructure...
Re:Laser Razor suspended by Kickstarter on Tuesday October 13, 2015 @01:28PM (#10381982)
that policy is probably about a couple years old.
this kind of thing gives me hope that Google could be replicated on a low budget
Re:How to Download a List of All Registered Domain Names on Sunday October 11, 2015 @12:53PM (#10369994)
would it be easier to download a list of available domains?
Don't worry, it will become more limited as it become more popular. Limited Internet is bad.
I haven't thought of that, just another reason to get much better batteries. But to tell you the truth, I would trade very high definition 6" screen for more storage and a smaller screen.
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
Re:Mercury Spill on Thursday October 08, 2015 @10:13PM (#10357734)
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.

Re:Show HN: Yet Another Log Viewer on Wednesday October 07, 2015 @03:28PM (#10348408)
I submitted a link to HN and by the time the page refreshed, this link was posted and already had an upvote, seems fishy... (milliseconds between the submission and upvote)
