he needs to practice his 'stern but compassionate' listening face a bit more in the mirror imo

Tim Pool: Well, everyone's seen that Polish video, the "Robokopter," right? We got lot of emails from people saying, "Why don’t you guys use an aerial drone to get overhead shots?," and it was really interesting to see all these coming at the same time. Someone actually donated, just a few days ago, $500 towards the purchase of the AR.Drone toy from Walmart. But it can’t stream and it can’t broadcast the video to a computer in which I could do a desktop capture.
So I spoke with Geoff Shively, and he said, we have got plans for a hack that’s going to make this essentially the most badass drone— "The SkyWitness," is what he calls it. But it’s going to be able to travel between wave points, so that I can send it to Henry based on whatever signals he is using, get an aerial overhead to fly over Zuccotti park. I think Geoff may build it with Noisebridge and with help from other hackerspaces. It looks like we are going to have a drone soon with an aerial camera to add to the mix.
a promising hackathon project for occupy-affiliated hackerspaces?

Pike, who was placed on paid administrative leave pending an investigation into the Nov. 18 incident, last year emerged from a bankruptcy where creditors took possession of his pickup truck, his wedding ring, his barbecue grill, several handguns, and even $265 worth of clothing.
Pike earns more than $110,000 a year as a UC Davis police lieutenant. But federal court records and county mortgage records reveal that Pike and his wife, Erica, borrowed heavily before the 2008 financial crisis, and were left insolvent when the value of their Roseville home declined.

the whole thing was kinda weird to watch but I didn't see any confrontations while I was out. probably just how this area is
stocks are still dropping so I assume sales data is mediocre so far
I been wanting to get skyrim but it wasn't on sale or anything so I didn't buy anything

is it that hard to pirate games like skyrim that you dont need an online component for?
it's super-easy but i could see wanting to pay for it on the grounds that it makes getting updates easier + bethesda games are notorious for being really buggy at release (but better after patches)
me, the only video game i've paid for in the last decade is dwarf fortress

meanwhile, back at the batcave, everyone wants to breathe, just breathe, and nobody can and many say "we will breathe later, gator." and most of them don't die b/c they are AMC'S THE WALKING DEAD
yeah, i always pirate it, i was wondering if lately they rolled out some sort of online verification system that was a hassle to overcome
