'I used a laser cutter' becomes 'I used a light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation-based cutting tool.' You have to put 'beam' or 'machine' or 'device' after it if you expand it. If you try to expand LASER (Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation, an acronym that has now graduated to full-on official 'it's a word' status), it doesn't make sense. It's actually very easy to find obvious examples. Just because the name of this system is derived from the phrase 'Automated Teller Machine' doesn't mean you necessarily get to treat it like a plug-in replacement or short form of it. There are ATM cards, and ATM servicepeople, and ATM locations. But 'ATM' is the name of an entire process. Most people know this intuitively, so they don't have a comeback when a pedant gets snotty. An acronym is not the phrase it replaces. What I realized reading that bit of text is actually obvious to most people, at least ones who aren't pedantic. I hope you're not one of those people, because I'm about to slap you down hard. Now I should explain that PAM is an acronym for 'Pluggable Authentication Module.' The author is apologizing for saying (or so he thinks) 'Pluggable Authentication Module modules.' Just like pedantic smart-asses like to say 'Don't say ATM machine, it's redundant.' I just ran across this bit of text in a introduction to the current standard password-validation-and-verification system used by Linux: 'There are many PAM modules (yes I know that's redundant but saying “PAMs” or “PA modules” is awkward)'

However, because of this magical massive data pipe, CenturyLink offered this new PRISM service whereby one's 'cable' programming came over the fiber rather than through a dish. Which, although plenty fast nonetheless, is not gigabit. *I* eventually discovered that, although (as I learned later) the fiber was actually theoretically capable of >4 Gb/second service, we nevertheless had only been allowed 40 MB/sec (roughly 400 Mbits/sec) for our pipe.

I will skip over most of the stupidity associated with the initial install except to mention that when they didn't show up to install it the first time on the date _they_ had scheduled, and Margaret called to find out why, the person at CenturyLink who answered said 'What? But we haven't even deployed the fiber backbone to your neighborhood yet! It won't be installed for a few more months!' In theory, (and what Margaret had ordered from them when this service went in) was gigabit-speed Internet. Our network connection is glass fiber right through the wall of the house and into the back of the transciever. One of them is to move us from their fancy-schmancy Prism television service back to DirecTV. So after not quite two years of fairly unsatisfactory media service from CenturyLink, they're coming tomorrow to make some changes. operate at low-altitude without trespassing. property owners to grant low-altitude Right-of-Way access to, there is no practical way. 'Without an efficient mechanism to enable. And the uncredited author at Hackernoon clearly believes that this is a real problem for drone operators. Now, the current (as of this writing) FAA rules on drones say they can't go above 400'. It's probably up to at least 85', according to the Supreme Court. It's definitely up to the top of the tallest thing on your property either the top of your house, or the top of a tree if you have one, because that's airspace you're demonstrably 'using.' It's below 500', because that's where the FAA says planes can fly, and all navigable airspace is theirs. Legally, homeowners also own the airspace over their land up to about, well, nobody's really sure. You see, there's this interesting puzzle. It's rather amusing, but it reminded me of the 'solution' to drone overflight that I'd thought of a few years ago. 04:30 pm - 'Hey, you kids get off my d*mn cloud!'Ī friend of mine posted a link to an article in Facebook about Tokyo police capturing drug-running drones with net-bearing drones, and then the crooks using their own capture-drones to bring down the police drones.
