Yeah except aiming a firework would be as accurate as trying to use a sling to hit something moving 30+ mph hundreds of feet in the air- its not gonna happen. The folks doing this are pos bringing in anything they can from out of state or illegal purchases from large scale manufactures. Its not safe and if you live anywhere near the action, these explosions are wrecking any quality of life for residents and pets, setting off alarms, and risking personal injury and property damage. The reality is though that these surveilance drones are only going to catch the low hanging fruit because its dark, people are hard to identify, and proving they were responsible is nearly impossible.

Comment Re: I like Nintendo (Score 2) 103

Buying Nintendo like Apple products is a choice consumers make when they want to be locked into whatever a company has to offer in hopes for exclusivity or better servuce. However, if said company wants to raise software prices, suddenly make a product obsolete, use your info for marketing, youve already signed the waiver so too bad. Id love to believe locking out those USB ports means better company support but funny thing is, it never does.

When people cant merge correctly on the highway, they will stay all the way right in their lane, have their left blinker on, so you slow to let them in, then they slow, then you slow, then they slow, at which point you say- im not getting killed for this dipshit and hit the gas. Whey they have 100 yds of clearance....then they commit to a lane change.

Comment In a nutshell.. (Score 3, Informative) 32

Check your accounts daily, report unfamiliar transactions immediately, and remain vigilant. A friend of mine had 6k disappear from her Bank of America account when a stranger walked into a branch with a washed check stolen from a postal box and they simply honored it- no questions asked. They gave her the run around, sorry nothing we can do, and left her to twist in the wind because the last thing they wanted to do was admit their mistake. I showed her how to get a resolution and they caved. Banks are in business for profit, not take care of you.
