My suggestion was in jest, however, would it truly be harassment? The drones wouldn't be directly affecting him, just moving in the public space around him and not even in his way.

Or you could just invest in some curtains... If the guy is truly a nuisance, get all the neighbors to pitch in and buy tons of drones and just take a day off work and follow that guy around constantly.

The most I've seen about Hadfield being Canadian is on YouTube where there are comments that basically amount to "Go America". There is the standard reply that "You know he is Canadian, right?". As a US citizen, I'm uncomfortable with the c

I would love to be able to buy individual channels, however, I don't think that this is something the government should get involved in. I would suggest working on a bill that would try to increase the prevalence of affordable high speed in

I don't think I was clear with my comment on the simplicity. What I meant was that the solution to avoid the laws of a certain country is simple, leaving as not being in a physical jurisdiction prevents you from being held accountable (pre-

I never suggested people do that, I'm saying that that is the only surefire way (for the most part) to escape the laws in the country that you are currently in. If you live in a country, it is generally expected you follow those laws. That

The problem I see with this is that one doesn't need to agree to be bound by the social contract of an individual government to be prosecuted. In the physical world, if you don't agree to the laws of a country, don't live there. It is that

My question is what happens if a state's API is down? Are the businesses supposed to eat the cost of whatever tax will be charged? Would the transactions be allowed? It seems like a decent idea, but there is potential for disaster depending

It seems the most likely scenario is that she underestimated the legal system and the lawyers took advantage of that. If she had taken the time to hire an attorney, she probably wouldn't be in this situation. That being said, it is hard to

In a world of sensationalist headlines, I'm glad that I ended up clicking this. To be honest, I truly thought that this was going to be about getting funding so that a developer could pay rent and eat while they make the next big thing. The

First off, switchblades are legal in some states in the US ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switchblade#United_States ). I can see some logic behind making switchblades illegal. They are easy to conceal both pre and post crime, as well as bei

They aren't doing that though. They are refusing to advertise ads of a smaller company meanwhile allowing ads of large companies that sell the same (or similar) product that caused the smaller company to be banned.

This is ridiculous. The OP said he was going to dispute the charge with his credit card company at which point the customer service rep said if he does that they will ban his account. This is so people don't buy the game, dispute the charge
