  Re:

  Not necessarily applicable to this one, but my neighbor has one where he uses a headset to see what the drone sees. Using a handheld controller without looking is arguably much easier than a touch screen interface.

  Of course that is what he is saying, that is exactly how it works for cops.

  The filing says he was represented by Steven Abrams.
  
  I'm guessing it is this guy across the river.(warning "Cyber") http://www.abramsforensics.com/
  
  That website tells me that the doctor found the perfect firm to represent him.

  You know that was the thing that was puzzeling me, howis that the cop hit a dog that size with only one shot.
  
  I'm glad you explained how that happened.

  Well that explains it

  In the Salt Lake Valley one of the major outdoor advertisers will periodically post billboards with random trivia facts along with phone numbers and or website url's.
  
  They do this so they can show prospective clients how effective their advertising is.
  
  On a recent trip into the city I saw a billboard that said Cosmo is porn! with a phone number.
  
  Silly me. I thought it was one of the signs from the advertising company.
  
  It never entered my thought process that it might be a legit attempt to convince people to support Todd Weiler.

• On the post: HP Brings Back Obnoxious DRM That Cripples Competing Printer Cartridges

  Eco Tank

  I needed an inkjet to print some books with lots of photos for a family project.
  I bought the Epson Eco Tank. They sell you bottles of ink instead of cartridges and you can even throw in cheap no name ink if you want.
  
  Like supporting an artist you like, buying this printer and the ink from them sends a message that I'll support this business model.
  
  We have been thrilled with the way it works. Sometimes need to run a clean when it sits for a couple months but when that isn't wiping out a $35 cartridge it becomes a trivial mater.
