Post by: Novus on Mon, 26 May 2014, 05:37:59
If you were a drone pilot protecting our freedom. What keyboard would you rely on to kill some terrorists?

"protecting our freedom". That's flame bait right there.

Pilots who used armed drones who kill people are cowards. It is dishonourable to be such a drone pilot.

Not to mention they're the smart ones not risking their lives and letting the robot do the work. Cowards? So what? If the drone dies at least the pilot can rely on another drone to fight and live another day.

Awesome, so they can kill a few more innocent civilians

And a trusty Model M. Rugged and reliable

That's already what each individual keystroke sounds like.

They would probably use some Amazon drones - filled up with mortal CDs (death metal?)
and Dominos drones feeding the army with pizzas!!

Cammon, the first time I heard people talking about the use of drones in public like that (to provide cheap services) I though "these guys are rich, talking about drones like they were kites and such". Here a guy would kill to steal a drone (or even the camera).

Holiday in Cambodia ...

They don't use keyboards. They use joysticks
