Oh, I'm sure when he says that they'll shut down the GPS they aren't talking about for military. The satellites have always had a discriminator for military signal use. And the military signal has always been much more accurate for positioning. Or maybe it's better to say that they intentionally fudged the numbers sent to non-military recievers. Recently they decided that there were more benefits, particularly for commercial and general aviation, to allowing the public to have the better data.
So my guess is that when they "shut down" GPS they'll actually just cut off or reduce the accuracy again of the public signal. -Kevin On Thu, 16 Dec 2004 18:25:20 -0500, Jim Davis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Of course my real question is: "how, if it's a national emergency, can > shutting it down hurt the terrorists more than it can hurt us?" > > It seems to me that our modern armed forces are MUCH more dependent on GPS > that "the terrorists". > > Jim Davis > > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Special thanks to the CF Community Suite Gold Sponsor - CFHosting.net http://www.cfhosting.net Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:140396 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
