I bought mine directly from the KSP store back in March 2013, and never migrated it to Steam.
After this announcement I went and made sure I'd downloaded the latest version from the store, just in case. Sadly I haven't played the game in quite a while (since Science arrived I think). Maybe I should correct that.
I likewise switched to Feedly when Google abandoned Google Reader. I have a couple hundred feeds in my list. I won't go so far as to say I wouldn't be browsing the internets without RSS, but I certainly wouldn't have time to cast such a wide net of interests.
RSS is one of the best things on the net, which is why I would not be surprised to see it wither and die.
This rocket was brand new it was the first that would have been SCHEDULED TO REUSE later after this launch.
Wrong.

For SpaceX, the private space company owned by Elon Musk, it was the "first launch of [a] flight-proven first stage," the company says. The mission was using the same rocket booster that sent the Dragon spacecraft to the International Space Station earlier this year.

Sorry, but that quote is wrong. The first reused booster is (was?) scheduled to launch SES-10 later this year.
Exactly, and I think this is what the AC was trying to say in one of the earlier responses.
The headline seems as if it is trying to tie this story to all the recent reports of the agency actively weakening crypto algorithms.
It would have been insane to allow classified algorithms to be published along with TCP/IP (unless of course they were willing to declassify).
I didn't watch the video, but read TFA. There, Cerf is quoted to say:
1. “If I had in my hands the kinds of cryptographic technology we have today, I would absolutely have used it,”
2. “During the mid 1970s while I was still at Stanford and working on this, I also worked with the NSA on a secure version of the Internet, but one that used classified cryptographic technology. At the time I couldn’t share that with my friends,” Cerf said. “So I was leading this kind of schizoid existence for a while.”
Maybe he said it in the video, but in TFA he does not say "I wanted to use the classified technology in TCP/IP but the agency denied my request."
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).

And you missed the perfect opportunity for a "Be seeing you" reference.
Clearly he's unmutual.

It's very likely the used rockets will have micro fractures everywhere that are nearly impossible to find.
This was not the reused booster stage. That was scheduled to launch later this year.
It was PRN 32 that was retired, not PRN 23.
PRN 32 happens to be SVN (space vehicle number) 23, which was GPS IIA-10 launched in November 1990.
PRN 23 is SVN 60, which was GPS IIR-12 launched in 2004. It is still part of the constellation.
That was a planned re-retirement of a really old SV (launched in 1990!) in anticipation of next week's launch of GPS IIF-12.
Galileo launches use a Fregat fourth stage (also Russian) to move the satellite to its mission orbit.

Soylent Corporation is always hiring.
If we are going to build a Death Star, it would be entirely appropriate to build it with Imperial units.
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?

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".
They are at a slightly higher altitude than that, and not particularly close together, either.
The number of nations that can launch payloads to that altitude is much smaller than the number of nations that have nukes.
If a company did advertise this way, would you think they were more or less likely to be trustworthy?
