    Whoever decided that the new wave of remote controlled helicopters should be called drones, when everyone knows that "drone" typically means an unmanned military aircraft capable of surveillance and/or killing people.

    This really, really bugs me, because a hobbyist with a quadrocopter is a threat to nobody really, but the media is has helped establish that they are called drones too, and all these scared-of-the-government types are getting up in arms about something quite harmless. Their real dislike is for the drones that they think the government is going to use against them.
