Comment No Such Thing as a Nuclear Accident (Score 0) 50

I love studying nuclear "accidents," and have come to the conclusion that so much work is needed to make a nuclear catastrophe--that there is no such thing as a nuclear accident. A nuclear catastrophe is one that that keeps on giving--just get out a map, and start "x"ing off places where human beings will never be able to go ever again.

Comment American Drone Policies are Corrupt (Score 1) 69

It appears that the American dronespace(tm) is being preserved for companies, and not individuals. For instance, here in the SF bay area, there are very few legal places to fly drones; any attempt to change that for companies alone would be corrupt. Here in Santa Clara County, to fly a recreational drone, as a amateur, in a public park, requires a professional photographers license and insurance; that is insane. A person cannot be act as a professional photographer while flying a drone in a amateur sense. They state that drone pilots must be prevented from taking photos of children, so you need to apply for a $900 permit for that--WTF!?
Also, there is no Class E airspace here. All the airspace has been sold to commercial corporate interests, so someone flying a ultralight airplane, would have to go about 250 miles from here.

Comment Likely will not feel like a place (Score 2) 15

I still play through Quake II, now in pathtraced, because they were neat virtual places. Way back when, I used to play though "Cranky Steve's Haunted Whorehouse" levels, which were regarded as pretty bad, because they were creative. AI is not creative. AI steals; that is what it is deployed for.
