    I do not wish to profit. The opportunity to perform my art is reward enough.

    I don't think an enemy country would care as long as it saves there ass. "Oh you want to bomb us?" "Yeah they're guided by GPS, suck it!" "GPS? Damn... bomb away."

  5. This is a solution to the WRONG problem ! by forged · · Score: 0, Offtopic
    Apart maybe for the military or civilian personel working in transports, I fail to see why this has any uses at all for most of us. I mean, if you want to know where you are, just look around ! Or ask somebody with clue.

    The REAL problem they should have considered in the first place is how to effectively jam mobile phone. I'll be among the first to buy one of those when they will be readilly available for $50 on the streets !
