While the radius may be "double", the area covered by the ban has increased tremendously.

Did that line work?

Actually, that is rarely the case. While individuals may end up paying less in taxes, they're still paying. Most of such installations are subsidized by tax breaks or use portions of already existing public infrastructure.

Other than spinning off and closing all of the former Yahoo and keeping only Alibaba, there was no saving Yahoo at the point she took over. SImple fact is, she's doing what she was hired to do - save Yahoo.

I think I'm kinda obligated to pick Star Trek over Star Wars (my sig explains why, since I am the producer for that online web series).

...nah, in all seriousness, I like them both, for both different and overlapping reasons. I never understood the "one or the other" rationale of some fans.

No, they do NOT, and never have, included upstream in your "quota". EVER. We have been with them and their predecessor for over a decade. Only two years of that have been on their unlimited plan.

And, there's no quota on their unlimited plan. But, as I clearly said, tethering (which includes tethering another phone via "hotspot") is NEVER unlimited, regardless of the phone's data plan.

You DONT have the same plan. I have the *unlimited* phone data plan. How can one hit their limit if there isn't one on the plan?

T-Mobile, unlimited plan, and never been capped. The only things I don't like about their unlimited plan is that roaming data has a lower cap and tethering has a lower cap, but direct data on the phone has no cap and no slowdowns.

The thing I like about T-Mobile specifically, is that I've had them change my plan for the period of a few days (when in the boonies roaming on AT&T) to increase my roaming allotment (while decreasing the on network unlimited data to 5GB) and they set the system to automatically switch me back on the requested date. No hassles, no surcharges, no loss of contract standing.

On this point, with a small to medium sized heli, BostonPilot is likely right. I know this, because I'm a responsible and experienced UAS operator, and actually did my best to figure out worst case scenarios to see what I absolutely must try to prevent happening.

My Inspire 1 can hit 60mph. The rotor wash wind velocity (in mph) for the Hughes 500 can be up to 46mph. While a Phantom 2 may be pushed out of the way by a copter that size at full wash potential (with no momentum into that direction), that does not account for a myriad of other scenarios where the P2/P3 (or as noted above, the Inspire 1) can push right into the copter or be sucked in.

And yet the FAA does. 400 feet or below is the requirement.

The CEILING that the FAA has established for UAS ("drones") is 400 feet, so, as they are now deemed "aircraft", I would suspect that the floor is actually a lot lower for their class of aircraft. It's "(ground) up to 400 feet."

There is no federal law, and only the SCOTUS "determination. There are various state laws, most of which allow overflights.

Which would be many of us who do (or want to do) such things commercially, and like the idea of getting paid without risk of our assets being seized and without the potential for criminal charges. ;-)

...agreed, which still brings us back to my question, which, in short version, is "what's so fucked up with some people that they think such reprehensible things are worthy of celebration?" ;-)

I don't want to stop them - I want them to label themselves by flying such symbols. But I also want to understand what demented rationale they use to sleep at night.

And had you lived at the time, assuming you are white, you would have been just as racist as everybody else was back then. You might have even been a slave owner. Makes you wonder what our great grandchildren will condemn us for.

Perhaps - but this is not that time. Nor is this issue about "that time" - it is about now. Here and now.

No, not necessarily. Rallying symbols are a central component to spreading any such message. They are the very symbols of such messages spreading and the mindsets behind it. As a matter of fact, without the revisionist history and without honoring symbols that stand for racism and slavery (as if they were good things), such attitudes would have died down a lot quicker. It's a vicious circle of racism propping up such sick symbols, and such symbols being used to prop up and spread racism.

So, no, those people may not be dead and the f...tard who shot them may not have grown up to be a f...tard.
