101st birthday today, and it nicely refers to Ms. Lamarr’s contributions to the fields of military and communications technology. Which were apparently considerable; and a reminder (if you needed one) that fascists are, generally speaking, also idiots. I’m sure that the Kriegsmarine would have loved to have had Ms. Lamarr’s frequency-hopping anti-jamming technology, but Adolf Hitler was too busy trying to force as many brilliant and politically unreliable scientists/engineers out of Europe as he could manage.

(C’mon, you knew it was inevitable.)
“What are you worried about? This is 1874. You’ll be able to sue her!”
Oft evil will evil LAMAR, you mean. (high-fives self)
