Stability in the past has meant pressure building for a rally. Not sure what it means now though. I'm sitting tight for now.

So far, stability has meant pressure building. It will be interesting to see if this bucks the trend this side of the high.

Scarily stable. I think we're about to bolt upwards. I'm too gun-shy to buy though.

Per Wikipedia, a drone is any unmanned (that includes programmable and remotely operated) vehicle.
So the Predator is a drone, and technically so is a toy airplane or a quadcopter.
As are underwater ROVs and the Google Car.
I like wikipedia but I wouldn't necessarily trust it for definitions. Dictionary.com says:
drone
1 [drohn] Show IPA
noun
1. the male of the honeybee and other bees, stingless and making no honey. See illus. under bee.
2. a. an unmanned aircraft or ship that can navigate autonomously, without human control or beyond line of sight: the GPS of a U.S. spy drone.
b. (loosely) any unmanned aircraft or ship that is guided remotely: a radio-controlled drone.
3. a person who lives on the labor of others; parasitic loafer.
4. a drudge.

Oh yeah, and, despite Iraq being a huge clusterfuck, started based on bs and lies, and is something I was absolutely against, the people in Iraq did actually want USA's help to get them some "freedoms." They just weren't expecting that USA would be so godamn incompetent about it. (Source - multiple interviews before and during the run-up to the war, where Iraqi citizens, on promise of anonymity, were complaining that things suck and were asking when are we going to come in to take Sadam out). I do agree that, even if all the USA did want to do is give Iraq freedomz, it may not actually have been their fight to stick their noses into... Maybe libertarians should start a mercenary-type charity where they could raise funds for a private elite team of ex-Navy Seals to go around and fuck assholes all up.
Forget the navy seals. All you need to do is find a way to support the dissidents. (Something the US gov managed to startlingly fail to do in Iraq and did in lamentable ways in Libya). Much as I hate and despise the IRA, there's no arguing that to the degree that they got what they wanted, a lot of that was possible because of support from sympathizers in the USA. |

ever use of the definition from the media to the Pentagon is incorrect.
And your point is?  |

True. But I think that's mostly not what people are talking about when they're talking about "drones" in the hands of the public or the police.
Then the difference lies in the camera and two-way communication capabilities. I think the difference is more in the "cool factor". I knew a guy who was doing this stuff 3-4 years ago and the word "drone" never came out of his mouth. Yes, but what came out of his mouth was probably considerably longer and harder to say than "drone." Yes. But I think the gain in accuracy greatly compensated for the extra 500ms I think Rassah is correct. If it has a pilot, whether he be onboard or on the ground, it's not a drone. Though I may be missing the definition. I should look it up. |

Co-worker has just told me someone was arrested. A "dark skinned man". No other confirmation as yet.

Has anyone actually looked at how often walls are eaten away as opposed to cancelled? I think the incidence would be very low.

Nazism is based in science.
Not to be unkind but this is the dumbest thing I've seen on the net in the past month. It is suspiciously quiet. Other than the "foreign looking type" in the hospital which has now been dismissed, we aren't hearing about surveillance footage and the like. No "persons of interest". No "Did you see a man with an orange backpack" type stuff. Though it's possible I've just missed it. |

You are comparing apples with oranges. Or Apples with PC. Islamic traditions have religious roots. Nazism is based in science.
It really doesn't matter the roots. To an individualist, it all looks the same. Of course, that doesn't mean you just go charging in. If a man beats his wife and children, you don't firebomb his house. But that's not really the reason America went charging in. It doesn't care about the people of other countries. It doesn't care about democracy. (and by "it", I mean the government, of course). There are some evil, greedy people at work. I'm not thinking "grand conspiracy" though. I think it is much more mundane than that. |

How to auto-fan and auto-gpu interract? I'd rather run up the fan than drop the clock speed so I have been using only auto-fan but I'm wondering if that's the best way or not.

You wake up, you feel a lightness in your stomach. You reach out and feel wicker around you. It continues up the walls and forms an arch over your head. It seems to be getting warmer. Did somebody fart?

Hey everybody,
I have a Netflix account (the streaming kind). I'm wondering if anyone has any good recommendations as far as movies, tv shows and particularly documentaries. I am not into any of the prison/solitary confinement documentaries as I find they depress me (sersiously). But I loved Cocaine Cowboys I and II the documentaries. I watch old CSI episodes (getting a little tired of those). I'm not really into the "legalizing marijuana" documentaries (there are a lot). I'm also not into watching anything thats too extreme or could be depressing (a documentary I watched about meth comes to mind). I love Boyz in the Hood type movies, Godfather or any Mafia type movies (keep in mind I've watched most of the mainstream ones on there), and especially documentaries. I don't really have an interest in starting a new TV show (unless its really good). Kind of all over the place, but does anyone have any recommendations?
Thanks
Full Metal Alchemist. |
