Didnâ(TM)t read the source article, but, âoeone of the most distant moons ever spotted from the planet.â Ever spotted from Earth, or from Saturn? And wouldnâ(TM)t the Moon be the most distant moon ever spotted from our planet? Wouldnâ(TM)t the moon they found either be the most distant or not the most distant? âoe...swings around the planet at 45 degrees.â Donâ(TM)t they go a whole 360 degrees, or did it forget to throw in the word inclination? âoe...named after [Inuit, Norse] mythologyâ. What are the words for Inuit mythology and Norse mythology? And Inzelloâ(TM)s âoverly decorative languageâ(TM) thread.

Comment Re:Why do phone (cell) systems need accurate timin (Score 1) 46

I keep getting logged out... The GPS needing the timing I got. I just couldn't think of what else. I was thinking the phone could just get the timing from there, but I guess phones didn't always have GPSs and you can't get a GPS signal indoors. And the whole "warn start" thing. We use a lot of GPS receivers in the field and it's really annoying when the internal battery has quit and you have to wait for a cold start every time. Ugh. Thanks!
