Intentional GPS Jamming On the Increase
benst writes "Here's yet another way to measure the success of GPS: by the efforts to negate it. While unintentional jamming continues to rise, intentional jamming by both foreign military forces and at-home miscreants of various stripes has shown increased vigor in the past six months. Related here are recent instances of intentional jamming on each side of the border, and (briefly outlined) one initiative mounted by the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency (NGA) to counteract it. Also, here are some ways to detect and prevent jamming."
How could they be jamming us if they don't know... that we're coming... Break off the attack, the shield is still up.
Raspberry...only one man would dare to give me the raspberry...LONESTAR!
Tic-Tac-Toe, Global Thermonuclear War, and relationships all have the same winning move.
Shooting down a U.S. military satellite doesn't sound like a particularly well-thought out plan to me.

"Were jamming, jamming, and I hope you like jamming too"
Anyone with the capacity to down multiple satellites (losing one wouldn't do much) 20,200 kilometers above the surface of the Earth is not going to be posting about it on slashdot.
So many lawyers, so few mad scientists...
If your driving examiner tells you to mow the old lady down or speed up to 80 in a 30 area, you wouldn't do it
Clearly you didn't get your license in Spain, where some people spend up to 3500e ($5514.95). Where each fail after the first four can cost you 1500e. Where some people offer money, sexual favors, etc to the examiners.
If the examiner tells you to mow down a lady, you ask "HOW HIGH!".
True Story - Some years back at the Telco Supplier that I worked for we had one of those Corporate awayday things at a Hotel in Bristol - We were all instructed to use the Multi-storey car park nearby. When I drove the 4x4 I had at the time into the car park I noticed one of those hanging signs notifying low headroom and drove slowly under it, relieved not to hear any scrapes..
Later, during the presentations from the PHB's, one of them confessed that he and another PHB had arrived in his new BMW X5 and when they saw the same sign he asked his passenger to get out and make sure they could pass beneath it safely.. He started edging forward as the passenger called out 'Ok, Ok, keep it coming etc.' And then they were through but he was quite disconcerted at how close the ceiling seemed to be as they drove up through the car park and he commented on this to the passenger and asked how much clearance there had been between the car roof and the hanging sign. The reply was something like "Oh none, so I just held the sign up a couple of inches.."
I think he was the Technical Services Manager...
Not familiar? Oh, your /. account has SO been revoked. n00b. :)

After all, they deny lots of junk up there.
Just shoot one of them down and see who complains and THEN you'll know whose it was.
