Did you ever get an answer to your question? I'm wondering the same thing.

"erupted?" Guns are not passive volcanos.

I talked to an employee as he was locking the place up today and he said they are shooting for a February 13th opening.

Robert was definitely running the show the last years leading up to the fire.

They didn't fly it over the park. They were over their own property. Calm down.

Re: Man Crashes Drone Into Farmers' Market, Then Gets Mad About Being Photographed

Flying over a crowded area is already illegal. The FAA doesn't take kindly to endangering people and they do issue citations to people who fly recklessly. Also, if he's registered, which he will have to do, he will have signed off acknowledging this rule.

We don't need more laws restricting drones, we need enforcement of existing ones and increased education on the rules to noob pilots.

Thanks for your response. You get it! CC is a wonderful system when respected and used properly. It's sadly true, most people just don't care.

Sounds highly improbable.

Nope. You completely missed the point.

Micro-Documentaries does great work! It's inspiring to see the humanity that these support organizations bring to SF's neglected population.

I know you're just trolling at this point, but I'll humor you.

'The real issue is YouTube’s remix tool is horribly broken. Of the 68 videos that users have “remixed” from my video, 36 are wholesale reposts of my entire video (many of which are monetized with ads). 28 are by accounts that have since been deleted by YouTube for various TOS violations and a whopping THREE are actual original new works in which a sample of my video appears.

How YouTube fulfills CC’s attribution requirement is also broken. CC BY license stipulates, “If supplied, you must provide the name of the creator and attribution parties, a copyright notice, a license notice, a disclaimer notice, and a link to the material.” To find this info on YouTube, you must go a video’s landing page and first click the “SHOW MORE” text in the description below the video. Here the Creative Commons Attribution license with link is clearly displayed. Below this, there’s a “View attributions” link which needs to be clicked to discover the original author’s credit and source video link. There’s no way the average YouTube user is going to go through these steps to learn what they are viewing was partially or wholly created by someone else.'

If you had actually read it you would know I AGREE with you. I have no problem with CC, I have supported Creative Commons for years and still do. The issue I have is with YouTube's BROKEN implementation of CC. It's not about Creative Commons, it's about YouTube.

Re: New: Get Paid Upfront with Deposits

This is excellent, what I've been waiting for. I ask clients for deposits all the time, so this is a huge win for me (and Freshbooks!)

Did ya even read the post? CC is great, I support it. That's not the issue.

Re: The Cars Uber Shows You Before You Hail A Ride Are Bogus

Yes they do. Ghost buses are alive and well on Nextbus. I've more than once waited on a T-line platform only to see: 3 minutes. 2 minutes. 1 minute. Arriving. 53 minutes.

Thank you! I love container ships, shipping cranes and our beautiful skyline. Glad you liked it! (btw, this is Eddie)

Thanks for the post, Jay! In my universe, the cranes will always be the inspiration for the AT-ATs.

Re: Southwest Pilots Spot Five-Foot Drone While Landing At Oakland Airport

ekai — Tue, 16 Jun 2015 05:05:33 -0000

No way it could be a quadopter. 2,000-3,000 is well above range and 5 feet is extremely large for a quad. Likely it was a fixed wing airplane drone.

Little Star on the corner has a bar, but calling it a bar would be a stretch. And they close at 10pm.
