An anonymous reader writes "The WASP, or Wireless Aerial Surveillance Platform, has been built out of a hobby-grade airframe and open source Ardupilot autopilot, reports sUASnews. In the words of the Rabbit-Hole website, it's a 'Small Scale, Open Source UAV using off the shelf components. Designed to provide a vehicle to project cyber-offensive and defensive capabilities, and visual / electronic surveillance over distance cheaply and with little risk.'" Want a drone of your own? The makers have some pointers to helpful resources.

How about a hunter-killer drone that sniffs out other drones, homes in on their telemetrics and blows them up in a blazing fireball of glory!
That's the kind of shit I want to see.

if the drone finds an open network it tends to crash because its too busy looking at roboporn to actually control itself.

Did you forget about the great features of Flash? If you choose Flash over HTML, you get:
- up to 90% shorter page loading times, because Flash is compiled and HTML is not
- increased security, because browsers are insecure, and plugins are secure by default
- unbelievable and very powerfull accesibility features
- a page which works and looks the same in any browser running on any computer
