I SO need to get myself close vote rights here.
Being a low rep user sucks ;p

Yeah, going from a mod on a site to 101 rep on another can be really jarring

Oh, I've had nearly modlike powers on SU for ages.
I can close stuff on SF too
Its not mod-ship, its just general rep related power-lessness

Sounds like one of those class-action lawsuit commercials: "If you or someone you know has been diagnosed with any form of rep-related powerlessness, call now"

@Undo "Have you or a loved one suffered from chronic migraines or even death after experiencing 101 rep? We can help."

I understand that. Nothing to eventful happening in my cornfield either.
Actually, it's just a field now. The corn is down

sigh I guess I'll have paperwork to fill out when I get my new toy. grumbles about irresponsible people

I do not know how that will solve the problem of people flying them where they shouldn't
Andy
Andy
It'll be easier to find who owns it
Cfinley

Are they going to require something like a license plate on them?
Andy
Andy
My guess is that at some point, there will need to be a transponder with ID on them to make it easier to identify when they are in the air. As it stands now, you either force the thing down or follow it to the landing area and then confiscate it and check who owns it
Without the registration, someone could crash it into a crowd/thing/white house lawn and simply walk away. There are fewer options to tell who it belongs to
(I don't recommend the last one...and if you do, don't be a drunk secret service agent that shows up to investigate later)
Cfinley

I know it makes it easier to find the owner once it crashes, its while it is in the air that doesn't make sense to me

Eventually they'll need transponders. That's how they will ID them in the air. I don't think that's part of the discussion yet though

The government isn't capable of keeping up with technology. I doubt they'll work this one out.

@Andy oh that's laughable
people who will actually register them will not be the people flying them into airports, etc
Adam

Sounds a lot like how gun registration works.

Time for another advertising blitz! Do we have ads only posted on a few sites?

@Cfinley: for some reason government has the idea that if you regulate things, things stay regulated

@Adam: I'm chuffed I don't need to flag stuff for closure like a peasant any more. ;p

@Andy I'm considering making an ad for Information Security that plays off of the TEMPEST question...
@Journeyman One small step for HW, one giant step for your social class.

@Adam: Its more... flagging on a site with no mods feels like shouting into a deep hole ;p

That's exactly how I feel. Where are the heroes we deserve?
