I guess that makes this the militarization of the Sneakernet.

Yes, sorry, I should been less terse and followed with "their effective radiated power is even less than that!".

That would essentially reward them for trying to buy unsuitable spectrum on the cheap.

GPS uses a MEO orbit. They are about 20,000 km above the surface.

I wish you were joking...

Google bought a Dornier Alpha (German/French) to use for research. Maybe they wanted something to fly CAP over their Google Maps car?

Apologies if you're not in the US, but here any statement that is not 100% supportive of religion is considered an attack on it. That's why atheist billboards and bus adverts lead to righteous indignation and vandalism.

She did not state that she lost her job due to the photos. She stated that she lost her job due to her own OCD and anxiety.

How anxious will she become when she learns that photos of her undergarments have been posted to Slashdot?

I suspect that far more people saw her clothes on the wash line just by walking down the street than would have seen them on the net if she hadn't sued.

I have to agree with the praise for TMG. I've been using it for several years now (version 4 then version 6). I have found it to be incredibly flexible in handling conflicting evidence, and it also generates some nice reports. I had moved my data from Family Tree Maker, so it did take me quite a while to "clean up" my database to change from a fact-based system to an evidence-based system, but I think the results have been worth it.

To be clear to the OP, it is definitely not an Open Source program in that it costs money and the file formats are (IIRC) proprietary as well (but there are plenty of export options so you are not locked-in).

Pressing one key (two if you count going back to the top) is exactly the kind of effort that most people don't make. :-D

The problem with that little notice is that if you have a lot of email in your inbox, you have to make an effort to scroll down to see it.

Most people don't make efforts.

Maybe if the last activity notice were in the sidebar or near the top of the screen it might be more effective.

I also love how the lead-in to the story discusses a woman who apparently became jealous because her "married boyfriend" was cheating on her...

Actually, it's more like "nucular", "gubmint", and "librul".
