Only because major U.S. corporations complained, which tells you who owns congress.

It was most likely a licenced and insured pilot - looked like battery failure to me, but usually large unit (this was an X8) would have had dual batteries for redundancy. Being an X8 it would have dual motors and props, so if one failed it could still fly.

The media shouldn't blow this out of proportion - if quads are banned they will regret loosing such awesome aerial footage.

Can we get Adobe to open source the flash player plugin as well? Can anyone think of a reason Adobe continues to refuse?

Would we live longer if gravity was higher than 9.81 m/s2? I think it might be difficult to actually test this, but it is a fun question.

I would assume that registration would be free, but now that I think about it I wonder if it will be that way (or stay that way). It seems like this may be less about the "protection" of people and just another revenue source for the government.

I got hit by two of these (1/27 to Feb 4th and 6/4 to 6/22), and they were relentless. It was difficult to know where the attack originated because many proxies were involved - most inside the USA). We only managed a 62% uptime during the whole affair, many customers were upset, and it really hurt business. We ended up refunding everyone for the month and sending out a huge apology, for which many customers were understanding. Still, it hurt our business dramatically.

You get what you pay for.

It is true that small amounts of pot has been legal in Alaska, but my concern is geared towards greater accessibility. Now that it is legal and will be sold commercially it will be much easier for young adults to attain. Usually the youth will steal from their guardians, just like alcohol.

I've been teaching 21 years and I can tell when a student has started smoking pot. When a young person begins smoking their grades usually drop and they do not seem to care. This may not be the case with adults, but it is VERY obvious when working with youth.

I live in Alaska as a high school teacher.

We lead the nation in welfare, alcohol abuse and fetal alcohol effects, suicide, sexually transmitted disease, credit card debt, number of women murdered, and domestic abuse.

Now we are all going to be high as a kite, too.

This does not make my job any easier.

I remember asking my father why he never drank alcohol. He said, "My dad (your grandfather) and three brothers couldn't leave it alone, so I figure I wouldn't be able to either. If you are wise you will do the same." I'm 46 and never had an alcoholic drink.

I'm a teacher and this is great practice for students learning to type. I thought a full screen mode would be helpful. I had a hard time reading the words at times.

Sounds like taxation without representation to me.
