There are already regulations in place that control the use of drones in certain areas but no practical way to enforce them.

Very cool site

Just happened upon the site by accident when I was doing some research. Just wanted to let the people in charge know I thought it was awesome.

The planned addition of a “Leap Second” this June may disrupt the Internet and satellite navigation systems.

Warning: Serious tech content.

Interesting read for those who follow the aspects of global time.

New user - question (delete existing files in the GPS folder?)

Just signed up here and want to be sure I have this right -- when I download the latest safety/cam file(s)do I need to delete the existing files in the GPS folder or can I just leave those in?

Thanks
