Restart ? Seriously ? In 2014 ?[^]

Yep, that is a classic

I'll know about it when my laptop catches fire. I have windows updates turned off to avoid auto restarts in the middle of the night. But I have to remember to go update.

That has little to do with the year we're in.
So, your application updates DLL's without the need to restart your application, yes?

Well, you could think that in our century one could have come up with an operating system that does not need a restart every time an application updates.

In our century, we could feed the world - but we don't.
If it was worth the money, someone would. It's that simple.
..and the thing that pissed me was the argument that it is 2014; that's not an argument. It wasn't in 1602, and it is not now. The fact that something feels outdated does not mean it is.

For one thing, the prison may have signals intelligence, or staff with eyes in their heads: [^].
That's an expensive drone-kit (US $20+K) got wasted there, not to mention the high street-value of 4kg. of crystal methamphetamine, the in-prison market value of the mobile-phones, etc.

Perhaps they need remote control rocket launchers to start shooting them down?
That could be a fun game: RC heli vs RC missiles.
Sort of like Missile Command[^] for real!

Then get ready for a challenge. That's a T-Rex 700 and I have seen some with more powerful motors or even twin turbines that reached 250 km/h and more.

I wonder how prisoners can sell things to each other. They don't carry any money, do they ?

Seriously expensive. Not like the ones you see selling in Buriram for 500 Baht.

Expensive, but nowhere near 20000$ I looked up a kit for the same helicopter on Ebay and would love to get one.

That's not an 'expensive drone kit'. On the tail boom you can see the manufacturer's name: Align.
It's an Align T-Rex 700 model helicopter. Here[^] you have the first offer I found on Ebay for € 529,95. They come in many different complete or partial configurations. Let's say that you can get very good quality parts for € 1000 - 2000.
Then you might need this[^] to get first person view when flying it. € 369.00 no more.
That's it. The mechanism to release the cargo is just a little practical model building. The sender and receiver have free channels which can be used for this.
And now I take a closer look at that 'Rex on Ebay. I'm not quite ready yet for a bird this size, but the price looks good.
Edit: The 'Rex 700 is a kit and contains just the mechanical parts and the motor. You need to get four servos, a receiver, motor controler, stabilization, batteries and rotor blades of your choice. So yes, it will be at least € 1000 until it is ready to lift off. Still a good price for a heli of this size.
Edit^2: I took the 'Rex for a little flight in the simuator. I hope the sound of the motor and the blades is anything like in the simulator. It was as stable as a heli this size should be, but especially roll and yaw were much more direct than I expected. I think I'm going to book an hour with a flight instructor and a T-Rex 700 to try out the real thing.

It takes a lot of courage to go down that slope and at precisely the right time to toss yourself off.
