Sorry but currently this drone was considered an aircraft and you don't have the right to shoot down aircraft over your property. You can build structures that block them but not shoot at them. Edit: OK This is getting downvoted, so I

Cases like this could define how we look at drones in the future, whether you agree or not, drones need to have better rules and/or licensing. One of the main issues is that currently drones are considered aircraft and you DO NOT sho

Argh hate to fess this up but I think some of those features might be locked into MS stack. Just tried on my 2013 version on python and peek wasn't working. Will try 2015 later to see, but I'm not hopeful.

2013 was a pretty big jump (IMO) for Visual studio. It added some cool features that I use all the time. Filtering in the solution explorer. Peeking definition. Code Lens Parallel watch. (Ultimate Only) Number of references listed above

I just went and updated all my privacy options on windows 10. I'm actually REALLY surprised at how granular it feels. Just press windows type privacy and shut everything down if you want.

Didn't they actually try to slow people down from upgrading release day? I mean what I read everywhere is that (paraphrasing), "when windows 10 is ready on your PC you'll see a pop up, but register now." Then you could
