lets see how their map server handles a good old fashioned Slashdotting !

exactly what I was thinking - basically a Tesla oil - high frequency, high voltage. Didn't know that when I was a kid messing with high voltage I was also killing bacteria on my skin....
why should I listen to a government organization that thinks my GPS should not have a moving map - it's laughable....
Hoverboard !
if they thought they could tax the air we breath they'd do it....
it's also a little bit of BS - there is a tremendous amount of spectrum, not only is there spectrum that is inefficiently used there is also spectrum that is just beginning to become useable due to advances in technology. I hardly believe that white space TV spectrum is the last bastion of wireless communications.....
on the road to higher priced software.... as soon as Insurance and lawyers get involved we're screwed
yup, a little stale - there several different ways that is done now
omnistar, egnos, and Starfire are all satellite based augmentation systems that allow increased GPS accuracy
couldn't have said it better - excellent post ! If I had mod points they'd be yours parent !
its pretty frightening - not sure I want my spinal column along the vertical acceleration vector, I have enough back problems as it is !
I'll pass on this - I like thrills but this seems slightly insane
I started to post on a similar vein - couldn't agree more. You couldn't pay me to put this guy up in my house, although I have cats, children and a host of other things that he find displeasure and disdain in - think I'll go out and pick up some diet coke and a couple of pounds of blue cheese.
As long as it wasn't made in a third world sweatshop, stuffed with cat hair, or Coca Cola branded you'd probably be OK....
I gave up this battle a LONG time ago my anonymous friend - I have always loved the technical interchange on Slashdot and have gotten a lot out of it in the many years I've been a reader , and I think it would be fair to say that engineers who design drones to kill terrorists are regular subscribers - but Slashdot has become more of a political platform in recent years and it is quite left leaning - I truly wish stuff like this would NOT get posted to Slashdot - it only serves to divide the group and breed hate. The level of technical content for this story so far has been non-existent so in my mind it has thus far no redeeming content including this post.
don't forget the Millennium Falcon can fly too - I've seen it on the big screen !
also its 5 millions dollars per checked bag - no carry on
