  Drone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A drone is a humanoid assimilated by the Borg in the fictional Star Trek universe.
John Twelve Hawks' fictional novel 'The Traveller', describes drones as being citizens that have become exhausted and overwhelmed by the struggle of living and fight for survival; in a world controlled by the Tabula, who's plans are to control the entire human race by means of intense and intrusive electronic surveillance.
Drones differ from the majority of 'ordinary citizens' by way of not being ignorant to the truth of what is happening outside of their own day-to-day lives.

 Banjo - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
It is played in a number of different styles, the most common of which are called clawhammer (or "claw-hammer") and frailing, characterised by the use of a downward rather than upward motion when striking the strings with the fingers.
Frailing techniques use the thumb to catch the fifth string for a drone after each strum, or to pick out additional melody notes in what is known as "drop-thumb" or "double thumbing." Pete Seeger popularised a folk style by combining clawhammer with "up picking" without the use of finger picks.
The fifth (drone) string is the same gauge as the first, but it is five frets shorter, three quarters the length of the rest.

This is done to achieve the self expressed goal of "perfection." The Borg function as automata; the minds of all Borg drones are connected via implants and networks to a hive, a collective mind (the Borg Collective), orchestrated by the Borg Queen and controlled from a central hub, Unimatrix One.
In the episode "I, Borg" (the title highlights the contradiction of an "individual Borg" and alluding to I, Robot), the Enterprise-D crew captured a single Borg drone in 2368 who appeared to be detached from the collective with its whereabouts unknown.
Given the collective nature of the Borg, it is possible the virus could have infected every drone linked to the hive mind; however, the Borg are also highly decentralized, have relentless adaptability, and have demonstrated the ability to sever dysfunctional units from it.

 Bee - Wikipedia Light!
She is the only fertile female, and deposits all the eggs from which the other bees are produced.
Except a brief mating period when she may make several flights to mate with drones, or if she leaves in later life with a swarm to establish a new colony, the queen rarely leaves the hive after the larvae have become full grown bees.
Drones find the queen by sight and mate with her in midair.

The last generation of summer includes a number of queens who overwinter separately in protected spots.
In the autumn, young queens mate with male drone bees and hibernate over the winter in a sheltered area, whether in the ground or in a man-made structure.
In the early spring, the queen awakens and finds a suitable place to create her colony, and then builds wax pots in which to lay her fertilized eggs from the previous winter.

Look, I'll try to make this as easy as possible: all I've been trying to say is that any approach to lexical disambiguation that asks: ``How do we disambiguate this word?'' will not work.
The more adequate approach to lexical disambiguation is one that asks: ``How do we disambiguate this word in its given context of use?'' In my previous message, the aspects of context of use that I talked about were the utterance it appeared in, and, further, the text/dialogue context in which that utterance appeared.

 Neu! - The real meaning from Timesharetalk wikipedia
Although on paper this might seem a recipe for monotony, in fact Dinger's discipline and flair as a drummer generates a very powerful, focussed groove, with a great sense of continuous forward motion (the analogy is often made with motorway driving).
In terms of traditional western and rock music harmonic form, Rother would complement Dinger's rhythm by eschewing chord changes, and instead opting for a harmonic drone – a single chord, layering numerous electric guitar overdubs.
Timbral change takes over from harmonic change as the main focus of interest.
