    Because Europe is crammed full of tightassed little frog queers that hate anything to do with the USA. They're like the jealous, retarded brother that's been banished to the attic.

    d00d. Give me a base station, couple remotes, and some telemetry and I can do it in an afternoon. Once built an opto-isolator with two radioshack walkie talkies. But do you know what an opto isolator is anyway?

    The only reason your brother has been banished to the attic is so that you will finally stop slurping the green cheese from his ass, you little clam fucking twittering snotty insignificant bug.

    You are a stupid choade licker and I truly wish that you get back to tossing salads for rent money. Really, wo cares, you fucking butt pirate? Go back to your fucking raves and let your limp wristed pantywaists ride your Hershey Highway all night long. That would certainly be more productive than the drivel you contribute to the information superhighway.

    Please don't take this wrong but ... um ...

    HAHAHAHA trust me inertial guidence / positioning can be made VERY accurate with nearly NO drift.

    When I say nearly I mean ... well ... lets just say it is more accurate than military grade GPS. But I'm also talking about military grade inertial guidence which as another poster mentioned, is rather classified and expensive.

  12. you know, the Bible predicted this. by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    More evidence that fits the prophetic pattern. Of course they're building a GPS rival - they'll use it as a tracking network for all the chips they're going to implant in everyone's hands or forehads...you know, the Mark of the Beast.

    The EU is the Revived Roman Empire spoken of in Daniel, Ezekiel and Revelations - this has been known by Bible scholars for some time.

    Watch Jack Van Impe sometime...it's fascinating stuff - even more fascinating seeing prophecy unfold before your very eyes.
