  7. Copycat attacks around Europe, who knows and who is going to stop them, there are some crazy folk about.
     
  8. Did you mean to say 2Mhz ?
    Never heard of a Drone operating at that Hz or any radio conntrolled device actually. Virtually all Radio controls these days are 2.4 Ghz or 5.8 Ghz. You might have noticed that these are the publicly available WI-FI frequencies.
    Even the averagely priced radios use frequency hopping to resist jamming, something only the military had at one point.
    If the drone is programmed to fly a specific course it needs GPS to do so, therefore GPS denial is an option. It might not be possible to get a fix on the transmitter but watching where it goes offers some hope. Unless the user is prepared to sacrifice the drone and not recover it.
    The "net drone" option only works if the target is basically standing still.

  9. So we drove to Gatwick super early Thursday morning to take the kids to Lapland to see Santa Claus. Total surprise once in a lifetime trip for them. Arrived airport at 4:15am for 6am flight. Long story short eventually easyJet hands out compensation vouchers, Santa hats and chocs for the kids early pm and then hires a bus and took us to Luton around 5pm and we took off around 8. Fair play to easyJet they didn’t have to. whoever this twat turns out to be robbed us of a half a day of a day and a half trip. We were the lucky ones, other Families headed to Lapland had theirs cancelled. On reading the compensation news feeds doesn’t sound like we or they stand much chance of getting anything back. I hope the tool doing this gets caught and spends some serious jail time being violated by some very large gentlemen. If half the mums on our flight got hold of him or her they would have been torn to shreds.

    Lapland though has been brilliant and the kids had an amazing time, albeit squeezing it all in to one day. Oh, also found out that huskies fart. A lot. !!!!!

    Knackered so i won’t drone on anymore.....

  10. Suck it up princess. You want a nice winter holiday. Think of the environment. Fucking ass holes flying off but drop a plastic in a bin and think you saved the planet.

    No sympathy here.

  15. Santa Claus is a famous old legendary figure in a traditional mythical story. By all means tell your kids about the stories, myths, and legends so they can enjoy the imagery and pass on the traditions. But there is no call to tell lies to children; if you do, one day they will find out you have lied to them and their trust, once corroded, will not recover.

  16. Utter folderol.
    So your trust in your folks will be irreparably damaged as they told you Santa was real?

  17. I meant 2.4 but actually I don't GAF....that last thing I would want to be doing at Christmas is travelling to where my oranges are or to some country where Santa is supposed to come from.....so I don't give a sh*t about people being held up by a silly idiot (or a so-called terrorist) messing about with a plastic pigeon over airports where the State forces are incapable of dealing with it.

    It wouldn't have happened if people had spent Christmas at home (I mean in the UK - but then, that isn't home to 75% of them).
