I sure wish one of you folks would cite your source for your definition of "Drone". I've searched the FAA site but came up empty, and doing a web search hasn't helped, so where are you getting your authority to say that the the word "Drone" is defined by the device's ability to operate autonomously ?
To those complaining about the use of the word "Drone", good luck with that. You'll get just as far as I did complaining about the use of the word "Billet", so you're just wasting your time. Terminology gets corrupted by the general ignorant public and there's nothing anyone can do about it.
There is an excellent site run by an attorney about Drone laws and regulations where he argues convincingly that the FAA lacks the authority to control most drones, and even argues that the San Jose Police Department is correct in their determination that the FAA lacks the authority to regulate drone use by Public Agencies. And he shows it in teh FAA's own words.
Seems to me like the only way the US can get away with doing this crap is if the EU allows it. It appears to me that very few (if any) Countries are willing to tell the US "No!", they all bend over instead.
I think you have your timeline a little mixed up. I started with a self assembled S-100 buss board as my first computer in 78-79 timeframe, and the BBS's came along much later. Hell, Fido-net didn't get started till 1984. So email pre-dates the personal computer.
"The ICC has been accused by many, including the African Union, for primarily targeting people from Africa; to date, all the ICC's cases have been from African countries"
You really think being white has any affect on the IRS? From personal experience I can assure you the IRS is truly color blind. The Prenda dudes are going down, straight to the Federal Pen. The IRS does whatever the hell they want, you may think they may be constrained by rules, but they don't think so. The IRS "Will" put these dudes in prison, but we won't hear anything until it's a done deal.
"Missouri Highway Patrol's Captain Ron Johnson, who grew up nearby, has taken charge of the operation.
He lost no time in making his presence felt, escorting a peaceful march through the streets of Ferguson on Thursday evening, shaking hands with protesters."
It's sure nice that you know "Middle America" so well and can tell everyone what they think. I'm in Indiana, is that Middle America enough for you? But unfortunately for you, and others like you, a shit load of us "Middle Americans" are former military that never forgot our oath to "Support and defend the Constitution", not the Government. And we know right from wrong, unlike the wackos on the coasts. You know nothing.
How about some links to studies that back up your assertions? Surely there will be many. Seems like everything I read about violent crimes says the frequency is decreasing, but at the same time I read endless complaints about the increasing amount of time spent watching TV by American families, claim is that the average American Family now watches 40 hours of TV per week. If your assertion were correct we would be awash in endless violence, instead we read and experience decreasing crime statistics.
Signed, but not ratified. If signing is all that matters, then the US Senate would be powerless and the US President could become the US Dictator via Treaty signing.
