- A View To Die ForJermoDined on 11/8/2014Cannons is always a treat. The view is one of the best in Southern California. The food is always high quality and the service top notch. Great for any occasion. With an expansive patio overlooking Dana Point Harbor the view is awesome both day and night. Great place to have a drink with friends and enjoy the surroundings. Can't go wrong with Cannons.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/7/2014View was great, food was very good, service was not good , she forgot the soup, we had to ask for refills , and water, I don't know how the other servers were as this was our first visit, so I am a bit dubious in recommending this restaurant because of the service, we were all quiet disappointedSpecial Features:
- Great View with Very Good FoodLLJ56Dined on 11/1/2014We attended the Breeders Cup racing at Santa Anita Park on Saturday. We drove up early from San Diego. We were driving home and made a special trip into Dana Point for dinner. Cannon's sits in a lovely location. We have dined both here and at the Chart House which is right next door. Cannon's and the Chart House have the same great view, but the food is WAY better at Cannon's. Our only complaint would be that the service was a little slow. It could have been us though...it had been a long day, we still had an hour drive to get home, so we were not your typical Saturday night diners. We wanted to have a nice meal and get back on the road, so we were a little impatient. I would recommend Cannon's over the Chart House.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- pleasant surprisecannonsDined on 10/29/2014Booked because of central location for business dinner. Wow Appearance, service. And especially the food - outstanding!! Calamari STEAK - personal favorite and theirs was best I have ever had. Everyone loved the soups. Main courses all were outstanding. For this food and service quality - unbelievable for the price. And what a view while dining! Will return for sure.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- 1rockymasDined on 10/25/2014Though the location was perfect for a first date. Service was just OK but not bad. Would definetley come back for a sunset dinnerSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderfully consistent!ockbDined on 10/24/2014We discovered this gem several years back and have enjoyed several special occasions as well as date night dining here. The food is always tasty and served promptly. The service is great; from the hostess greeting to the bus servers as well as wait servers. The atmosphere is enjoyable and the view is just breathtaking. Most times we dine here we do not pay valet as there is a large self-serve parking lot, which we appreciate. If needed you could always drop passengers off at the entrance and then park your car (a very short walk). All in all Cannon's is consistent and we have always enjoyed our dining experiences here. Give it a try.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OutstandingtablefortwoDined on 10/22/2014My wife is currently a G.M. at a notable restaurant in Laguna Beach so we know are food and restaurants, this is one of the best places we had ever eaten. Ambiance,service,food,and view were second to none, it was our 12th year anniversary and we had a great evening. I would recommend Cannons to anyone. Special thanks to Milou our server and the GM who visited our table to make sure everything was spot on.Special Features:
- great night outOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/18/2014Romantic view of the harbor, incredible menu, perfect for impressing the date. We will return during the day for a different view.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very RomanticscenicDined on 10/18/2014Celebrated my wedding anniversary. ...great food and excellent service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The View, not the FoodOpenTableTMMDined on 10/18/2014Paying for the view. Service was good, but the Staff didn't seem to like being there. Food was marginal for the price and was not light - plenty of cream, butter, oil, and sugar. Not really "heart healthy." Would I recommend Cannons to a friend? Only for the view. Better bet is to enjoy the view and have a drink, then dine elsewhere.Special Features:
- not up to pardatakompDined on 10/14/2014the food was not properly cooked. the waitress spent a lot of time socializing with one customer.
- Food was good but it was emptyCarmen19Dined on 10/3/2014I took my friend to dinner on a Friday night for her birthday. I had been there once before in the summer and sat outside which was nice. This time there was a wedding going on outside so we couldn't go outside and sat inside instead. The food was good, a little over priced. The place was empty for a Friday night at 7:00 p.m. What's happened?I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not as good as it waspeggymackVIPDined on 10/2/2014The view at Cannons cannot be beat and the servers have always been excellent. However, the food has really gone down hill. Although the food has never been the main feature of Cannons, it was always dependable. The chef has changed the menu, and raised the prices and the results are not good. We ordered the pasta with Day Boat Scallops but rather than with the lobster sauce, we had it with capers and white wine. We ordered a Caesar salad to start. The Caesar salad never arrived. There was so much garlic in the pasta it was inedible. The scallops were tasteless (except for the garlic). The waitress took it back and offered us something else. We ordered the prime rib sandwich which was o.k. They took the scallops off the bill.Special Features:
- Cannon's--lovely locationCMMTHVIPDined on 9/30/2014We had a very nice meal. Server was helpful, pleasant, efficient. The view--well, that's the primary reason to go--was spectacular. Food was fine--not excellent, not bad. If you're in the vicinity, this is a beautiful place to enjoy a good meal and an even better view.Special Features:
- Good But not impressiveOknotimpressedDined on 9/27/2014One of the first things that gave me an indication was when the hostess after seating us brought silver ware (since there was none down) and placed it, at times with her fingers on the eating end of the fork, spoon or knife where the place was opposite her or farthest away. I would expect a hostess, although this is not her primary job, to know how to do that even being taught how to do it at home. That right away put a dim view on what to expect. My son, whose 5th wedding anniversary it was, ordered the prime rib to see if a previous review was accurate about it not coming with the appropriate crusting as advertised, which it did not. The food was basically good besides the 2 items mentioned.Special Features:
- Great View!!!jeffDined on 9/27/2014The view is the best part about Cannons. The food is good. They were very busy the Saturday night we were there. Service was good considering how busy they were. It was a great evening out.Special Features:
- dallasDined on 9/26/2014Fantastic view and that is all. Mahi Mahi old and fishy; sword fish better but far from good. Service: the server showed up to pick us the order then never came to the table until we were ready to pay the bill. Never, Never we will go back or recommend the restaurant!Special Features:
- NormNormDined on 9/26/2014View is unbelieveal,service was great, food was great, but menus could be improvedo on.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great experienceNiceRestaurantDined on 9/24/2014I wrote a long very positive review on the response to a no show notice. I was there!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- RelaxingDelightedVIPDined on 9/24/2014Consistently good. Relaxing and beautiful environment and view. Lovely service and consistently terrific food.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- New lookLoReeDined on 9/23/2014This is an old favorite of ours, but it needs a facelift. The view is spectacular and the food is very good, however the service was very slow that night. The sauce on my Filet Oscar was awesome, but the filet itself was not medium as ordered, it was medium well. Our server was great, but the kitchen was slow. Over all a pleasant experience.Special Features:
- Will be BackMik2UDined on 9/20/2014I have seen the reviews good and bad- for my wife and I it was a pleasurable experience. I had the seafood skewers and my wife the free range chicken--both were excellent. The coconut shrimp appetizer was a little over cooked. The cocktails for me were great as they actually had some booze in them. The view was great. The waitress went out of her way to make sure we got good seatsSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- babsDined on 9/19/2014Our server, Will, was awesome---I appreciated that I could order just what I wanted exactly how I liked cooked---so nice to have a restaurant do that nowadays and have a server so astute to your needs :)Special Features:
- Great view, OK foodLindaVIPDined on 9/15/2014You cannot get a view much better than this! Food is OK - good, but not great. But if you are up for ok food and great view of Dana Point Harbor, this is the place!Special Features:
- Totally Awesome ExperienceBWLuvitDined on 9/13/2014New owners have allowed the great personality of years past to continue to flow. Taking a date or a lovely wife for an experience befitting a Queen..!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointedOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/6/2014First thing, that made me think of leaving was, that they only had valet parking. We were given a choice of the table, but it seemed only because we made a reservation. I did not find food worth coming backSpecial Features:
- Have more than a viewBlacksmithDined on 9/5/2014Great server, loud and obnoxious atmosphere. Food was adequate, best sauce on my filet ever. The restaurant smells like an old wooden ship and very outdated decor. The view is great and that is all the restaurant has in its favor. So I will go back for outside dining only and appetizers and dessert.Special Features:
- Enjoyed View and DinnerSandyDined on 9/5/2014Of course, the view is why you go here -- but the food is good too. On the day we were there, our Server was friendly, recommended favorites, didn't rush us, and even brought a special dessert for one of us with a birthday. We had very good jerk salmon salad, king crab salad with avocado, and coconut shrimp. Also a few rounds of drinks and refills. No complaints. We are locals and usually take visitors to Cannon's when they are in town. Their reaction is always the same: What A View!! And then they enjoy the dinner too.Special Features:
- BrianLove2eatDined on 9/1/2014Great view and great food made for the special dinner I was looking for on last night of vacation. Macadamia encrusted swordfish was unique and outstanding and grilled mahi was very good as well.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Delicious food and GREAT serviceAmanda518Dined on 8/29/2014My husband and I visited Cannons to celebrate our recent relocation to the area. In my Open Table res, I specified the reason for our (first) visit and we would like a table either outdoors/with a view. When we arrived, we were seated at a table on the 2nd level indoors, overlooking tables right next to the windows. While every table indoors has a view, it would have been nice had a window table been set aside for our first trip. We ordered crab beignets & they were delicious - I recommend them. I ordered the Skuna Salmon and my husband got the filet. Both came with scalloped potatoes and grilled vegetables. The salmon and steak were amazing, & veggies/potatoes were good. We took a (very small) slice of cheesecake home. Service was superb!Special Features:
- Our favMariDined on 8/27/2014We live nearby and this is by far our favorite restaurant. The food, the staff, and the amazing view all make it the perfect dining experience. Whenever out if town guest are in town. We mske sure to take them here. A+++ on all counts!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food not so hotfoodnotsohotDined on 8/23/2014Now I remember why, even though we live in the area, we don't frequent here - the food's not that great. The soup special of the day, Lobster Bisque, was an outrage. Although the actual crab in the Crab Louie salad I received for an entree was delightfully delicious, it didn't really matter, the puny and miniscule presentation of the entree was too disappointing to get over. I get it, you can't give people too much crab because you just wouldn't make enough money, but what about lettuce?! Lastly, not getting bread and butter quickly, up front and right away, is a pet peeve of mine. Let the bus boys do it, it's not rocket science! Lots of other great places to eat in our area. Won't be back anytime soon. :-(Special Features:
- FishVIPDined on 8/18/2014Good food and a wonderful view if Dania Point. Reasonably priced.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great RestaurantfoodpursuitDined on 8/18/2014I chose the restaurant for it's food and view. I couldn't have been more pleased. What a great place to relax and enjoy not only the food, but the spectacular view of the harbor and the ocean. I will definitely come back soon.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointedHBSunshineDined on 8/12/2014We have been to cannons starting in 1988. It just progressively gotten worse. Service was terrible. Took forever to get everything from appetizers drinks and dinner. It use to be a nice fancy restaurant on the patio and now it's loud and caters to younger families. We felt so over dressed and paid too much for the ok dinner. Food wasn't hot :( great place for a quick drink and appetizers. The view is spectacular! !Special Features:
- Great View....but not the foodOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/10/2014Hard to pay $32 for an entrée and have it not be good. Food was not hot and nothing spectacular. For a $32 dollar an entrée I expected more. Rice tastes like it comes from a box. And, my daughter who can not eat cheese and asked that it not be in her salad - got cheese in her salad. Being locals, we come here about once a year for the view and hope that they have improved their food. I guess we will keep hoping.Special Features:
- Amazing viewAnitaDined on 8/10/2014The food is good but not the best you've ever had. However, with a view like this it doesn't matter. It has one of the best views in OC. You could stay there for hours, just admiring the incredible view of Dana Point harbour and the endless Pacific Ocean. Also the service was good. Very friendly. We are definitely coming back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/9/2014WOULD GO BACK IN A EYE BLINK. THE SEVICE. FOOD AND SCENIC VIEW WAS GREAT.Special Features:
- Location, Location, LocationIlliniDinerDined on 8/8/2014to be honest, the food is very good. Totally enjoyable and worth the price you pay (which is not cheap), but not the best I have ever had. But you just plain and simply can't beat the view. So many restaurants along the coast are on the other side of PCH, so you are close to the beach, but you can't see anything. Here, you have a magnificent view of the harbor, with sailboats and so on. Our waitress was excellent, and the service around her was great. Food was delivered timely, we never needed to flag her down or anything. If all you care about is getting the best possible meal you can get, not sure this is the place. But, if you are looking for the total package (ambience, service, view, good food, etc.) I highly recommend Cannon'sSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Awesome viewOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/8/2014The view is the best feature. There was a wedding taking place on the patio so we couldn't sit outside and vacationing from the Midwest, this was a big disappointment. The lobster bisque was more of a cheese soup. The food was average (much better seafood other places). Two of us felt ill after the mahi mahi.Special Features:

Re: The EV will be a rich man's toy for decades
Those cars have very short range and are expensive for what they offer. They are NOT mass products
The EV will be a rich man's toy for decades
The Tesla Roadster is a nice looking, nippy machine. With 1200 kg it is quite heavy, due to the battery weighing in at 450 kg. However, it is a toy, as many commenters have already said.
If you run the little two-seater sedately at 60 mph like a family saloon, it will give you a range of 200 miles. However, if you run it like the sports car it was derived of, say at 100 mph, the range is only about 70 miles. Then the battery is empty and needs charging, which will take some 8 hours on a 3 kW socket. If you force charge at double rate or more, you will bring down battery life from about 500 deep discharge /charge cycles to half of that or less.
For the environment it is not much of a boon; it needs to be driven 80.000 miles to break even with the emissions of a petrol car, taking into account production/recycling emissions of especially the battery. By that time you almost need a new battery and the whole cycle starts again.
Technology-wise there is not much that can be done about this. It is only the battery that needs to be much improved and unfortunately its development does not follow Moore's law. In 100 years batteries evolved from lead-acid of 20 kg/kWh to 9 kW/h Li-ion, about a factor 2. Only a radical breakthrough with new materials might bring a step change. Most likely it will be decades before the EV will become a mass market item. Until then it remains a rich man's toy with low range and very high cost.
Solar, wind, landfill to make cheapest power by 2030
Re: A small question
Just check out regularly http://www.gridwatch.templar.co.uk/ and you will see that for days on end ALL of the UK windfarms, on- and offshore, generate less than 5% of their maximum capacity. Currently wind is less than 5% of the UK demand, but if you continue to install more and get above 15% of demand, to prevent power outage you would need 100% backup for the windfarms (OCGT gas for rapid ramping up and down). When you have 100% backup planned, you might just as well do away with the windmills and run CCGT plant; cheaper and the same or less CO2 emission.
GPS spoofing countermeasures: Your smartphone already has them
Re: Differential GPS is already known for longer than 17 years
You do not have to tell me how GPS works, I was in charge of the team that designed the CARIN system and, later, the Caresse system in Philips, from 1988 to 1999, Your explanation is nothing but a lot of jargon, probably with the aim to come over impressive. It did not work, unfortunately. At an exam session I would probably fail you.
How is DGPS very similar to the idea used to correct GPS positions in smartphones and the like? Simple, the DGPS protocol is: A GPS position is acquired. It is verified with information from one (or more) local beacon(s), whose position(s) is (are) exactly known. The (if necessary) corrected position is then established.
Re: Differential GPS is already known for longer than 17 years
From the article:
Quote: Using ambient radio signals to confirm a location isn't "a real game changer" as BAE systems would have us believe, then, but it is quite a good idea: which is why Google, Apple and other rather faster-moving technology firms started doing it long ago. Unquote.
This is identical do DGPS
Differential GPS is already known for longer than 17 years
Differntial GPS, to compensate Selective Availability (SA), was known and in use since 1986. It consisted of a radio beacon with known position. This was broadcast to differential GPS receivers, so that the SA offset could be compensated for a certain range (at least tens of miles) around the beacon. It was used a/o in geodetics, to obtain very precise positions, e.g. to find out if a seawall was moving. It was also looked at in the contaxt of car navigation. I do not believe for a moment that this basic idea was patented by BAE Systems or Ploughshare, so I do not think their patent can be worth much.
The more science you know, the less worried you are about climate
Circular viscerality
The main point of Page's article is that the more you know about science, the less worried you are about climate change, according to a group of letter-writers to Nature. The letter-writers also assert it is harmful to collective welfare to form such individual risk perceptions in aggregate. This can only mean that the letter-writers somehow "know" that a low risk perception of climate change is [absolutely] wrong. How do they know that?
They then go on to say that ways should be found to make the public accept the best available [climate change] science. This can only mean that the letter-writers know what is the best available science. How can they know this? Looking at their affiliations, not one of them has any grasp of physics.
In view of the above it is almost certain that the letter-writers belong to the group of egalitarian communitarians, as defined in their letter to Nature. This group is supposed to be more concerned with climate change risks and since the letter-writers have no grasp of physics they have acquired their beliefs from their climate science peers using system 1 reasoning, involving rapid visceral judgements and heuristics. Hence they can believe that climate change is highly dangerous and they can "know" which is the best climate science.
Fortunately, this type of circularity is not likely to be very effective, nor is their type of science.
Green energy and jobs will cripple the UK economy
Britain's wind farms will have no effect on climate change
Even if the worst case scenarios of the IPCC are taken into account, a complete change-over of the UK to wind-generated energy will have no appreciable effect on climate change. So that cannot be the reason to bear the cost of the wind farms installation and operation.
If there is a fear of becoming too dependent on oil/gas/coal suppy, a far better alternative is nuclear power.
Yes, tell us when the non-renewables will be out
You say it will not be far away, so you must know....
It is very sad
It is very sad, the way the commenters have moved to climatology instead of keeping focus on the economics of renewable energy, which is windfarms for the UK. The point made in the report of Gordon Hughes is that the windfarms bring the UK nothing, apart from cost. This is nothing new, a similar conclusion was drawn on renewable energies in Germany (June 2010, Rheinisch-Westfälisches Institut für Wirtschaftsforschung).
The windfarms are not going to improve significantly, it is a technology that has been around for more than 30 years. The UK has no key assets in this technology area. The only thing the UK will learn from these windfarms is the installation and the running of them around the British coast, which is not something that can be exported. The lifecycle of a windfarm is no more than 20 years, by that time they will have to be replaced, by more expensive turbines of course. During their time of life they will always have been more expensive per kWh generated than other forms of energy (apart from PV and biomass perhaps). The only thing the turbines will have generated is the subsidy, needed to operate them. All cost, no benefit. But perhaps there is nothing better left to invest in in the UK. Again, very sad.
Wind power: Even worse than you thought
Out of 4000 Chernobyl thyroid cancer cases 9 people died
The title of this post says it all. Mr.Carter's post is exemplary for the wrong ideas hammered in the heads of the population by poltiticians and action groups.
The 9 people dying out of 4000 Chernobyl cases (mostly children) comes from an official UN report. Of course, this is a terrible situation still, so many sick people.
Also, the situation in Fukushima is totally different from Chernobyl, as has been commented time and again. Near Fukushima, most of the radioactive iodine is in the seawater. Close to the power station the values are pretty bad, but out towards the ocean the iodine gets diluted pretty quickly.

The discussion is just as crazy as the forced dismemberment of Bell Telephone. Is the world a better place without Bell as a prime company? No other telco now has any research that is worth mentioning.
The same goes for Microsoft. From the comments - especially out of the Open Source area - I get a strong impression that the majority is jealous of Microsoft's success and wants to vandalize the company, just like Bell has been. Well, especially the Americans had better be glad about Microsoft being a strong company. There are not many American companies in IT that are worth mentioning, or will be able to compete in the global market when China grows stronger. For sure Opera, Mozilla etc. will not be able to.
Let Microsoft keep their own browser bundled with the OS. If somebody really wants to use another browser for some obscure pathological or other reason, that is not difficult to do with Google advertising their joke of a browser. Or with the Open Source crowd loving Firefox for some strange reason.
Renault intros e-MPV
@ Christopher Hinton
As regards your remark concerning the Saudis: you don't really think that electric vehicles will be any more economical in use than current petrol/diesel cars do you? If so, check out the power generation efficiency and the losses in the transport-conversion-charging chain. What do you think will be used to stoke up the electric power stations? Wind power? Not very likely. That tecnology can supply 3% of our current energy need and won't be getting much better in the future. Coal? Gas? Also not very likely. So, with the majotity voting against nuclear power, most of the electricity of your electric vehicles will probably come from the Saudis.
Renault Unpopular (not like the old Ford)
15kWh battery for 100km range? It is not very likely that the 44kW motor gets you 100km/h using only a third of its power, with a normally loaded vehicle. So, to get that range with 15kWh, you probably have to creep along at 25 - 30 km/h average speed. Lovely, it will take 3 - 4 hours to cover 100 km.
And, if you want to quickly charge your car with the 400V 32A socket, you had better not stay in the car but do be sure to hold your fire extinguisher ready. With 25 kW charge power going into the batteries and a charge efficiency of 90% you will have a 2.5 kW heater heating up the batteries. It will get hot under that dashboard, very hot.
To put it very mildly, this will not be a very popular commute vehicle. More like an enclosed electric shopping vehicle for disabled people.
Honda executes 180° turn on plug-in e-cars
Electric cars: the new hype
I do not understand the enthusiasm for electric cars. A short range of 100 km @ 100 km/h needs about 50 kwH energy for a current medium size car with normal load. For 50 kwH one needs about 300 kg fully charged Li-ion batteries (1300 kg lead-acid, which certainly is prohibitive). Carrying 300kg of batteries is about the same weight as 4 persons; not very efficient if you have to carry so much dead weight as default, but it is feasible. Also, thinking of what sometimes happens with laptop-sized Li-ion batteries (about 0.4 kg each), I would not much like to sit on 300 kg of those unstable batteries.
Recharging the batteries after a 100 km trip requires a 6 kW charger for 10 hours, or so much more power to get shorter charging times. That probably means a new power connection to your home. Some people say that with standard batteries you could get a battery exchange at "energy" stations. Lugging 300 kg from car to shop and back again is not something I'd like to do every day. And all that for a measly 100km range. I quite often drive 600 km distances...
Is such an electirc any good for the environment? I don't think so. Instead of waste gas produced by the exhaust of the car where it rides, more waste gas is produced at the site of the fossil fuel electricity plant, due to lower efficiency of the power generation-transmission-conversion-charging chain. In addition; what are we going to do with tons of batteries scrapped after 500-1000 charge-discharge cycles?

Windows 7 UAC shutoff 'bug' leaves Microsoft unmoved
UAC is NOT annoying
I have used Vista since December 2006 and have not found it annoying in day-to-day use. When I have to install lots of programs in setting up a new PC with legally obtained software, I shut down UAC but for normal use on my own PC I always leave it on. How often do you have to install a new program? I also find it satisfying that the UAC prompts come on when ActiveX controls manifest themselves for updates and downloads. It is a good moment to check and does not happen too often. I do not understand Microsoft have given in to "professionals" whining about UAC in Vista. You see what comes of it in Windows 7. Perhaps those "professionals" like to slip in the occasional script. I have known those in my own organization.
I'm a sceptic now, says ex-NASA climate boss
@Mark, about Arrhenius
Arrhenius, that mediaeval fellow, proved "a" CO2 effect, but not for the atmosphere. In the atmosphere gases are not stationary. Hot gases move up and cool down. There is nothing in the climate computer models that take account of this. In any case, computer models are no good for predicting anything, because they only contain known mechanisms. It is clear that you have not yet come to terms with this in your research.
@ Mark, conspiracy
"Do we have any proof that intergovernmental, international conspiracies occurred like the one supposed with AGW?"
Yes, we do. We got "An Inconvenient Truth" - I beg your pardon, pack of lies - that mostly served to line Gore's pockets. So he could keep on driving his Lincoln.

Windows Vista Ultimate has a backup and restore utility, both for entire computer disc images and for files. Media to be decided by the user; external USB drive works fine.

Scientists warn on climatic 'tipping points'
The graphs, and a lot more
I have seen the IPCC stuff, not convincing at all. It has all the marks of a promotional document produced by a heavily managed political ideology group.
You will find the graphs and a lot more in here:
http://www.rabbitlink.com/www.rabbitlink.com/GlobalWarming.html (the repeat in the URL is not an error). More entertaining than Al Gore's movie, with a lot fewer lies.
An example of many things you have wrong: I am not a boy, I am a professor emeritus. Easy to check my age by by doing some simple research...
@Mark, again
Yes, the graphs showing atmospheric CO2 lagging the arctic temperatures are explicitly from the 20th century. Since this shows CO2 concentration like being just an effect, this probably also happened in prehistoric times, although I don't think we have such nice records from prehistory.
If you are such a scientist, why are you so excited about these data? Are you already committed to a theory? Not very stringent, I think. Neither is calling people names.
@ Mark
Nobody disagrees that the earth is warming up. But there is significant disagreement among top class climate scientists that the climate change is caused by humanity.
The IPCC who are lobbying this - as I am sure you know, as a Scientist - do not use the Stringent Scientific Method, because they remove people who disagree with their general consensus. Their peer review does not mean anything. That leaves us with proposals that are ineffective and harmful for many countries - especially developing countries. Not to mention tons of money going into this process.
Oh, and about CO2
A couple of nice graphs on global temperature change in the 20th century shows that atmospheric CO2 lags the arctic temperature graph. Typical of the political/IPCC establishment to address an effect of climate change instead of the cause. Of course, it is not so easy to turn down the sun...
New religion
"Global warming" is not just a fad or hip cause, it is a new religion, with new high priests scaring many people into paying them lots of money and respect which they would otherwise not get. While cleaning up you environment is a good thing, most things advocated by the high priests to "save the earth" are pretty ridiculous, such as hybrid cars (great big batteries, extra weight, wasteful charging processes producing pollution in other places, lots of waste lead scrap), the silly tree planting to compensate CO2 emission and especially all the braying talk producing even more CO2.

EU data ruling slaps filesharers with red herring
The analysis is not complete
The court did not only rule that the member states have to ensure "especially in the information society, effective protection of industrial property, in particular copyright". The court also ruled that "such protection cannot, however, affect the requirements of the protection of personal data" .
The court stated that the Directives allow member states to make exceptions [to the protection of IPR] to ensure confidentiality of traffic data.
So, yes , it is up to the member states: they can lay down an obligation to disclose personal data in civil proceedings, but they cannot be compelled to do so by any EU Directive. If in the UK the government is already commited to dance to the pipe of the BPI, then perhaps for file sharing one had better move to another country...
Microsoft ruling may not bolster Europe's new case, warns lawyer
@ Anonymous Coward
Thanks for your point, which I agree with. Keeping Opera alive on phones and mobile equipment is something else than unbundling of Windows. The article speaks of unbundling of Windows, however, which was the reason for stressing my point that I do not want Windows unbundled for my home PC. I suspect the majority of ordinary PC users feels the same.
OS on home PCs is a different market from systems for mobile equipment, TVs etc. I do not believe Microsoft is very strong there, so there should be no cause for alarm. It is much better to keep the regulators out of the market; they are at the mercy of lobbyists, they really do not know what they are talking about - although some think they do because they have a PC - and there is a danger that they will regulate the market to death.
I must say I am surprised by several of the comments, showing a great deal of fear-mongering and hobby-horse riding.
I don't think you tried what I did, nor that you tested it, so how can you be a judge? I have this running for 6 months now. It is fine for me and there is nothing "lurking in the background".
And let's be precise: I don't wish to use a virus scanner anymore, since it does nothing for me now. Having no virus scanner running does not mean that there is no malware protection. I have a much better firewall than I used to have, there is defender (also takes up CPU cycles for not much reason) and I use the browser in protected mode.
Anyway, this is beside the main issue, but it is my fault for being explicit about not wanting third party software - or as little as I can manage - on my PC. My apologies for doing something many of you clearly do not like very much. But these posts have not changed my opinion about the Commission, either.
@ Karl Lattimer
I was already aware that IE7 is not secure, but this does not matter so much in Vista. Since you, Sir, are obviously very well-informed, judging by your treatise on this side issue, perhaps you can let me know which software is definitely secure. And by the way, the qualifications in your post I will not take personally, since you did not spell my name properly.
The Commission doesn't have a clue
The Microsoft cases are the same kind of stupid power play as the break-up of Bell Telephone in the past. Ms Kroes does not have a clue as to what she is doing. She only listens to the whining of piddling little dot-com's.
I am quite sure I do not want Real Player or any other on my system, including Quicktime. I also do not want any other browser than IE7, thank you very much. Windows Vista with IE7 works fine for me on my main PC, even without virus scanner.
Western Digital drive is DRM-crippled for your safety
Yes I can read
I hate DRM, XRML etc. without restriction. I do not have a parrot or hook. However, when I buy something, I own it, whatever company parasites aka known as lawyers write down. When I cannot use something I bought and want to use for whatever novel purpose I think of, the product goes back and/or there will be hell to pay. Companies writng DRM in their products have to be very careful that customers using this for their own purposes really do not notice DRM in any way. At the most they should be notified when they inadvertently break some kind of law - which most customers do not have time for anyway.
IPCC's final report on climate change due tomorrow
Scare stories
If there are 2500+ scientists working in this area they must be of very low expertise level, since they still cannot prove that humanity is responsible for the climate change but can only enthusiasically say that there is 90% probability for this. It seems that the 2500+ are beginning statisticians who have "found" a correlation between temperature & sea level rise and population increase, both of which are well documented since the 1600's. The trouble with beginning statisticians is that when they find such a correlation they really believe there is a cause and effect relation.
For me, unless a statement is proven it is only a hypothesis. And don't come to me with proof derived from any computer model, because they are NEVER a substitute for reality.
Unfortunately this climate change - which has been happening for hundreds of years - has been taken up by politicians and other bodies as an effective scare story to build themselves up in public opinion and to subsequently coerce a lot of money from people's wallets. Talking climate change is a lot more effective than preaching traditional religion, nowadays. And for some reason people are lulled by curious actions like those coming from the Kyoto protocols. It is very strange that nobody from those 2500+ "scientists" is able to show exaclty what the effect is from the proposed actions, in lower temperatures and sea levels. People are happy as long as "something is being done". Unfortunately, the only thing that is really being done is that the public's tax money is being squandered for no clear effect.

Don't let Windows Indexing Service know too much
This will really slow down your Vista system
This advice will really slow down a Windows Vista system. I'm sure the statement will elicit funny remarks like "does anyone use Windows Vista?" etc. but those one or two people that use or plan to use Vista had better not follow the advice. I have had a broken index on my system, due to a previous paranoid "advice" to wipe clear space. My PC took far too much time in finding files for programs to use, in finding directory items, thumbnails etc. Very annoying. After rebuilding the index, which takes time, the machine was as fast as ever. Lovely.
Clearing swap and hibernation files properly
Don't use security advice from enthusiasts
Although wellmeant, security advice from enthusiasts is largely untested, so should not be used. If someone e.g. would try BCWipe on Vista - and inadvertently had paid for this software - this person would pretty soon ask the money back because this program pass by pass breaks down the system.

WASHINGTON - Taking home an Olympic medal can cost elite athletes a pretty penny, and there's a movement in Congress to try to change that.
It might sound surprising that athletes have to pay to win. But they do. Each medal comes with prize money, and that money, plus possibly the value of the medal itself, is taxed.
(Note: Mark Jones, the communications director for the U.S. Olympic Committee, tells Salon medals have no "value" and no taxes are associated with them. Other reports differ.)
Gold medalists win $25,000, silver medalists win $15,000 and bronze medalists win $10,000.
The tax rate for a win can be 35 percent.
That means a gold medal win is taxed approximately $8,750, plus possible taxes on the $675 gold medal. Held to that standard, Michael Phelps may have paid well over $130,000 for his wins.
On Wednesday, Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., introduced a bill that would waive the taxes for certain winning athletes.
Rubio, who is being vetted by the Romney campaign for vice president, says the tax code is "a complicated and burdensome mess that too often punishes success."
Olympic athletes "shouldn't have to worry about an extra tax bill waiting for them back home."
The topic of taxing Olympians has spurred some debate. The Tampa Bay Times' PolitiFact.com points out that many athletes likely don't meet the required income level to be taxed at the 35 percent rate, and deductions could lower the burden.
The group Americans for Tax Reform, meanwhile, calculated that U.S. Olympians can owe up to $9,000 to the IRS.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Il Porcellino (Italian "piglet") is the local Florentine nickname for the bronze fountain of a boar. The fountain figure was sculpted and cast by Baroque master Pietro Tacca (1577 –1640) shortly before 1634,[1] following a marble Italian copy of a Hellenistic marble original, at the time in the Grand Ducal collections and today in display in the classical section of the Uffizi Museum. The original, which was found in Rome and removed to Florence in the mid-16th century by the Medici, was associated from the time of its rediscovery with the Calydonian Boar of Greek myth.[2]
Tacca's bronze, which has eclipsed the Roman marble that served as model,[3] was originally intended for the Boboli Garden, then moved to the Mercato Nuovoin Florence, Italy; the fountain was placed originally facing east, in via Calimala, in front of the pharmacy that by association gained the name Farmacia del Cinghiale (Italian for "boar"). To gain more space for market traffic it was later moved to the side facing south, where it still stands as one of the most popular features for tourists. The present statue is a modern copy, while Tacca's bronze is sheltered in the new Museo Bardini in Palazzo Mozzi.[citation needed]
Visitors to Il Porcellino put a coin into the boar's gaping jaws, with the intent to let it fall through the underlying grating for good luck, and they rub the boar's snout to ensure a return to Firenze, a tradition that the English literary traveller Tobias Smollett already noted in 1766,[4] which has kept the snout in a state of polished sheen while the rest of the boar's body has patinated to a dull brownish-green.[citation needed]
The sculpture appears in literature as well as onscreen.
The Porcellino figures in Hans Christian Andersen's "The Bronze Hog" in A Poet's Bazaar.[5]
Appearances in films include the 2001 film Hannibal (Chief Inspector Rinaldo Pazzi Giancarlo Giannini cleans his hands in the fountain) as well as Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II (2011).[citation needed]
Copies of the sculpture can be found around the world. Some of the locations are:

Chattanooga (AP) -- The US Forest Service says it's moving tanker airplanes used to fight wildfires from Knoxville's airport to the one in Chattanooga.
Forest Service spokesman Terry McDonald says the Southern Appalachian Air Attack Base outgrew available space at McGhee Tyson Air National Guard Base.
McDonald says Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport has room to expand and the planes will be relocated there by autumn.
The operation will continue to serve East Tennessee, Virginia, Kentucky, South Carolina, North Carolina and Georgia, and may be called to serve parts of Alabama and Mississippi.
Forest Service Fire Management Officer Eddie Holt said that during the spring and fall fire seasons, there is always one and sometimes up to five air tankers operating out of the base.
The aircraft are privately owned.

Assemblyman Joseph Saladino joined the New York Committee for Occupational Safety and Health by urging all workers and volunteers who aided in the rescue, recovery or cleanup efforts of the World Trade Center site, to safeguard their workers' compensation benefits by registering with the State Workers' Compensation Board prior to the August 14, 2007 deadline.
Thousands of dedicated New Yorkers worked at the site, and now, five years later, many of the responders are becoming sick and worse. There are many long-term health effects associated with breathing this dust, according to a study coordinated by Mount Sinai Medical Center.
"The brave men and women who aided in the rescue efforts, recovery or cleanup did so with a sense of duty," said Saladino. "Now, years after their efforts, many are experiencing health problems related to this exposure. If you assisted in any way, you may be eligible to register for workers' compensation benefits. I urge everyone who participated in the efforts to review the eligibility requirements and file your claim before the deadline."
If you performed paid or unpaid rescue, recovery or cleanup work in Lower Manhattan during the year after September 11, 2001, you may be eligible for medical and wage replacement benefits. Individuals need to register with the New York State Workers' Compensation Board before August 14, 2007 if you worked or volunteered:
- anywhere in Manhattan south of Canal or Pike Streets, or
- on the barge operation between Lower Manhattan and Staten Island, or
- at the Staten Island landfill, or
- at the New York City morgue; AND
- are currently sick, psychologically distressed and have not filed a workers' compensation claim;
- are not sick, but were exposed;
- have filed and been denied; and
- have filed a successful claim but are concerned that you might develop a different illness in the future.
For complete information, eligibility requirements and to obtain all the necessary registration forms, visit the New York Committee for Occupational Safety and Health Web site at www.nycosh.org, or call toll-free 1-866-WTC-2556.

Opening soon: MyUrbanFarm.com - A beginners guide by a beginner
by Anne Robert
|After the rise of wide spread Eco consciousness, it seems the next wave to hit us is 'Urban farming' i.e: food-producing activities at home, be it edible gardens, livestock or aquaculture.
The aims include: increasing self reliance, combating the ever increasing number of food miles we use to feed ourselves and ... renew our sense of connexion to the earth.
This is a big leap for the true urbanites... When I set out to explore what was out there , I was reading about skyscraper green acres and new sci fi techniques. It struck me that many ideas are just too ambitious for the mass of us socialising /clubbing /office working urbanites who feel for instance that radically giving up all design ambitions a bit too steep a challenge!
I would like to let you know that I am creating a blog to help those who are perhaps less thoroughbred Eco warriors ;-) but who do want to change. It is focused on the baby step approach adoptable by the very urban types.
My focus is how to jump on the band wagon in style when possible.
And good news is out there too: designers are starting to invade the field. You can check out a few of my first finds at www.MyUrbanFarm.com
Call for submissions:
I'd love to hear about new products designers are thinking about or have developed to help in this field:
- new water harvesting objects ?
- new containers to grow vegetables ?
- new harvesting/storing devices?
- new tools ?
- new technologies (for example hydroponic cupboards) ?
- have real life examples of growing plots/urban farms that have incorporated a design twist
Love to hear from you : contact me via mail at firstname.lastname@example.com

Life & Faith
Spirituality for Busy People
For those who think administrators are no more than "empty suits," with nothing to teach us spiritually, the early medieval Pope Gregory I ("the Great") is the great counter-example. Gregory (ca. 540-604) was a contemplative mystic at heart who struggled all of his days with the conflict between busyness and intimacy with Christ. And this struggle gave him great pastoral sympathy for a group of people who had become "second-class citizens" in Christendom: married layfolk. His meditations on the busy life-the life he associated both with Jesus' friend Martha and Jacob's wife Leah-led him to formulate a spiritual theology that blasted monastic elitism and freed busy laypeople to enjoy the contemplative life.
Some reflections on Confession - Protopresbyter Alexander Schmemann
1. For each conscientious priest confession is without any doubt one of the most difficult and frustrating aspects of his ministry. It is here, on the one hand, that he encounters the only real object of his pastoral care: the human soul, man, as he stands sinful and miserable, before God. But it is here, one the other hand, that he realizes to what degree nominal Christianity has pervaded our Church life. The basic Christian notions of sin and repentance, reconciliation with God and renewal of life, seem to have become irrelevant. If the terms are still used, their meaning is certainly quite different from that, on which our whole Christian faith is based.
Fast and Liturgy - Protopresbyter Alexander Schmemann
The liturgical rules of the Orthodox Church prescribe that the Divine Liturgy is to be celebrated after Vespers on certain fast days. These days are: Thursday and Saturday of the Holy Week, the eves of Christmas and Theophany and the Feast of the Annunciation. Likewise the Liturgy of the Presanctified Gifts is always celebrated after Vespers. If we bear in mind that our Typikon determines the time for Vespers according to the sun and not by the clock, then the prescribed time for these evening Liturgies should be approximately from two to five in the afternoon.

Representation Theory of Finite Reductive Groups
Preview (read now) Add to my own site Give this ebook to a friend Add to my wishlist Author's page Publisher's page
moreAt the crossroads of representation theory, algebraic geometry and finite group theory, this 2004 book blends together many of the main concerns of modern algebra, with full proofs of some of the most remarkable achievements in the area. Cabanes and Enguehard follow three main themes: first, applications of étale cohomology, leading to the proof of the recent Bonnafé–Rouquier theorems. The second is a straightforward and simplified account of the Dipper–James theorems relating irreducible characters and modular representations. The final theme is local representation theory. One of the main results here is the authors' version of Fong–Srinivasan theorems. Throughout the text is illustrated by many examples and background is provided by several introductory chapters on basic results and appendices on algebraic geometry and derived categories. The result is an essential introduction for graduate students and reference for all algebraists. less

"All non-believers who have a comfortable lifestyle had better be glad there's something that provides at least 90% of these 2.1 billion wildebeest, a/k/a Christians, with pleasure and gives them a reason to hope for a better deal next time. There isn't a safe place on this planet to raise a family now. You take Jesus out of the equation and we'd no longer live in homes and drive cars…we'd live in compounds and drive tanks."
"The point of religion seems to be to start with something as simple as thou shall not kill and end up with something so inconsistent that no rational mind can entertain it."

Clinton condemns attacks on Syrian protesters
Vilnius, Lithuania — U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton says she is disheartened by reports that security forces and government-organized thugs attacked protesters in the Syrian city of Aleppo.
Speaking Friday at an international democracy conference in Lithuania, Clinton said that President Bashar Assad's regime wasn't sending a coherent message.
On the one hand, it allowed an opposition meeting in Damascus this week. Yet it has pressed on militarily in the north.
Clinton says a single meeting doesn't amount to a serious effort toward democracy. She says Assad's government is running out of time. It must advance a serious political process or face increased resistance.

Should College Go Online? 261

from the time-to-level-up-my-calculus dept.
An anonymous reader writes "The Atlantic has a story about the slow pace of technological innovation in higher education, highlighting the reluctance of many universities to take parts of their curriculum online. '[L]ack of funding isn't the only reason that the traditional universities and colleges aren't responding with their own strategic acquisitions. In all industries it's hard to convince successful incumbents that innovations at the low end of the market really matter. That was true even for Sony's Akio Morita, whose top executives didn't like his Walkman, which had no recording capability; it seemed smarter to focus on more-sophisticated products for the high end of the consumer electronics market. Regard for tradition and academic freedom make it particularly hard to undertake apparently low-quality innovations in higher education. But that's true to varying degrees in all industries. Whether the business is computers chips or steel, successful incumbents have difficulty responding to disruptive technologies, often until it's too late.'"

Rumor has it that this new LaserMax for the S&W J Frame will mount to the sideplate of the revolver. The LaserMax units are VERY tiny micro miniature (in general) so I'm best guessing that these WILL NOT be in the "handgun grips configuration" but, that you'll be able to keep your preferred grips of choice and still have your J Frame laser outfitted.
Anybody see the prototype yet? Just curious.
LaserMax's New Revolver Sight to "WOW" the Industry
February 6, 2006
by Celia Crane
LaserMax Equipped J-Frame Revolver
Rochester, NY (February 6, 2006) – After two years of compiling feedback from Focus Groups and user surveys, LaserMax, Inc. has announced the unveiling of their totally new laser sighting system for J-frame revolvers. Prototypes of this new product will be on display February 9-12, 2006 at the S.H.O.T. Show (Shooting Hunting Outdoor Trade Show & Conference) in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Popular for concealed carry because of its diminutive size, the J-frame revolver was an obvious platform for the world's most high-tech miniaturized laser. With two distinct prototypes still being considered, LaserMax declined to speak about the exact specifications for the final product, but it is clear that the new revolver sight will be quite a departure from LaserMax's mainstay line of laser systems, which all reside in the guide rod of semi-auto pistols. "We will be offering our customers a rugged and innovative product at a significantly better price than what is currently available," stated Cyndi Baker, LaserMax's newly appointed Director of Sales & Marketing.
Tentatively scheduled for release by the end of the year, the new revolver sight will feature LaserMax's distinctive pulsating beam, which is far easier to pick up than a continuous wave beam. The LaserMax sight will allow for faster target acquisition and accurate shot placement in low light, the environment in which most shootings occur. Installation will be a simple process that can be performed by the end user in minutes with no special tools.
Although the LaserMax revolver sight has been developed primarily in response to requests from the company's growing consumer market, the J-frame revolver is believed to be the most common police backup weapon in the U.S., and the sight is expected to quickly become a popular accessory for law enforcement as well as civilian use.
LaserMax, Inc. is the leading manufacturer of laser gun sights for law enforcement and the shooting sports community. The company was founded 16 years ago in Rochester, New York. In addition to providing high quality, precision laser systems to the Law enforcement, military, and self-defense communities, LaserMax is also world renowned for its industrial and scientific laser solutions, which serve the semiconductor, biomedical, aerospace, and telecommunications industries. All LaserMax products are designed and manufactured in the U.S.A. For more information, contact Celia Crane at 1-800-LASER-03, ext. 307.

Unmanned US drone strikes killed hundreds of people people in Pakistan, Yemen, and Somalia last year as part of the never-ending war on terror, a war that apparently necessitates the continuous bombing by the world's only superpower of malcontents in faraway countries. Western governments cite the assassinations of such huge terrible guys as Hakimullah Mehsud, the leader of the Pakistani Taliban, and Abu Yahya al-Libi, al Qaeda's deputy leader, as success tales. While attacks like these are in scheme weakening global Islamist terrorism, it's been reported that less than 2 percent of drone strikes in Pakistan hit high-profile terrorist targets. Many more attacks have been known to kill children, civilians and suspected combatants.
With this hit-and-miss campaign in mind, Ruben Pater, a designer from the Netherlands, just place together the Drone Survival Guide, which can be downloaded in 27 uncommon languages and includes silhouettes of the most commonly used drones—from the Reaper to the Killer Bee—along with information on how to hijack, hack, and dazzle them.
"Many people are mystified and intrigued by drones," Ruben told me, "but don't really know what the capabilities and weaknesses of such a technology are. Once we know what a drone can do, we stop being worried and instead come up with ways to protect ourselves."
The Drone Survival Guide has two main sections: Hacking Drones and Hiding from Drones. "Spreading reflective pieces of glass or mirrored material on a roof will confuse the drone's camera," it advises. "By broadcasting on uncommon frequencies… the link between the drone pilot and the drone can be disconnected." While Ruben insists that the Drone Survival Guide is more an art project aimed at educating people than a practical guide for taking down Predator drones, he was careful when constructing it for dread it could be used spitefully. "I was very deliberate in [only] collecting information that has been publicly available on news websites," he said. "The [techniques] I chose for the guide are about dodging surveillance and tampering with their sensors—it's not about shooting them down."
Which is excellent to know, as Ruben tells me he's seen jihadists sharing the Drone Survival Guide on social media. It's dodgy they will learn anything new from it though, as some of the instructions in it were full directly from documents found inside an al Qaeda building in Mali, which fussy a lot more technical information than what is found in the Drone Survival Guide. I did bring up to Ruben, but, that the guide does say that some of the techniques "can be used… to steer drones into self-destruction flight paths or even hijack them."
"Excellent top," he laughs. "The technique in question is GPS spoofing, which is a very hard tactic you could use to hijack a drone. Some say the Iranian government used it to hijack the American drone they captured [in 2011], but it's more likely nobody has ever been able to do it. That's why I left it in: because it's next to impossible. But the thought is very fascinating—that by just fooling the drone's GPS system you could take control over it."
The Federal Aviation Administration has predicted that there could be over 30,000 domestic drones operating in US airspace by 2020. By then, rather than being exotic weapons of war, drones will be mundane small robots. Thus the Drone Survival Guide is marketed as an aide to "21st-century bird-watching," though, yes, some of these "birds" can blow people to bits from 50,000 feet using laser-guided bombs.
Ruben told me that only after giving the Drone Survival Guide to a friend did he realize how perilous the European-built Barracuda drone was. "[My friend] used to work at the company who makes brake systems for the Barracuda," he said. "[He told me] it's designed to do everything independently, from taking off, to striking targets—all without human intervention. You just tell it what to kill, and it will go out and do it for you. Pretty scary." According to the company that makes the Barracuda drone, new missions can be uploaded to its system from the ground—giving instructions that it "immediately responded to" during a 2012 test flight.
One issue with the Drone Survival Guide is that the drone industry is advancing so rapidly that it makes Ruben's work instantly out of date. "The US defense giant Lockheed Martin just announced a new develop," not listed in the book, Ruben said. "The SR-72 is a hypersonic drone that would be the fastest business in the sky at six times the speed of sound." On their website, Lockheed clarification that "at this speed, the aircraft would be so quick, an adversary would have no time to react or hide."
"Imagine bringing up the rear control of a drone when small at mach six," Ruben said. "A robot so quick we cannot even catch it if it goes rogue. Splendid thought." (This is pretty much the plot of 2005 action movie bomb Stealth.)
Ruben hopes his Drone Survival Guide will at least start a conversation. "The goal is to make awareness of what drones are competent of," he said, "and hopefully spawn discussion about whether or not we should allocate the use of drones for surveillance and military purposes. Most of us have governments that already use drones for these purposes, paid for by our tax money. We have a right to know what this technology is competent of so we can judge whether it is [used] correctly or not."
