Nothing in the foreseeable future can stop a coordinated nuclear attack from Russia, except for the common sense of the Russians, which was shown to be quite present. Even during the cold war, for all the hostilities, they have shown to care enough for their own well-being, and are not suicidal at all.
As for shooting down Katyusha rockets? (I think they mean "Grad" and "Uragan" systems). All you need to disable this system - is some morning fog. I would not rely on it functioning.
Overall, IMO, this is cool technology, that can make for some nice congress presentation and a hefty paycheck for R&D (which is always good), but it would be irrelevant in the foreseeable future..
..it came back up.. all the IPs, gateway, DNS, trace to my office machine, download rate, ping time stayed EXACTLY the same. Makes me wonder what were they doing all this time.
Oh, wait.. my IP was changed 2 months ago.. Maybe THAT was the time they switched me?
That's probably cheaper then they paid to the consultants who came up with this graffity idea. Plus all the free publicity of being in the news: now all the country saw this graffity in prime time. I am afraid this is clever enough that we see this marketing done again and again. Not that I like it..
..and you sure there are no root exploits available ever, and you can not modify you shells to log what you type after "su", etc.etc.
Do not live in a dilusion..
Look here, mathematician..
You can determine the position of the sattelite down to 1m. That means if you have two sattelites 15,000 km away from each other (opposite on orbit) you will completly lose any accuracy when (distance between satellites)/(distance to you) ~ (1m / 15000m), i.e. 225,000,000 km - so being on the mars you will be able to determine that..you are on the Mars.. Not really interstellar....;-) in the real world, errors have to be taken into account - but do not worry - look at my post below for a truly global solution..;)
Satellites are low. Just order them not to transmit above that other nation.
That still leaves the Russian system, but I am not sure it is going to be maintained - probably they may use their expertise to kick start the European system.
Look it up. Many civilian receivers now come with it. You are wrong.
But it works only in North America (relevant to the article), and it requires a view of the WAAP satellite - on GS orbit - not always good visibility, especially in towns, there DGPS is needed for corrections..

192.168.x.x is indeed a private subnet, what something behind Linux Firewall/NAT should look like, doesn't it? ATT gives an esentially static IP.

Left me wondering - what was the dowtime (three days) for, and what actually changed..
Politics of business..
You know, when something is in the coffin, somehow I do not mind few nails to close it down.. Will even throw a handful of dirt into the ditch.. ;-)
Dead is dead.
Change is good. (evil grin of survivor of 70% layoffs :)
What will it cost you to get your logo in all the prime time news? Hundreds $K's to start with?

This is fucked up..
Also, if you have GPS on GS orbit, they will form an almost straight line - BAD for triangulation, not to mention visibility.
In short, no, you can not have a GPS system "over China". Journalist was sloppy, and you, likely, a bit sloppy too.. ;-))

One guy got his Ph.D. on a proposal on using galactic pulsar as navigational aids. That's a big ass network of transmitters.

Here is a link WAAS
Two sigma: 3 meters..But it works only in North America (relevant to the article), and it requires a view of the WAAP satellite - on GS orbit - not always good visibility, especially in towns, there DGPS is needed for corrections..
Ever heard of China on equator? Or GPS sattelites on GS orbit? Dummy, do not try to look smart - take that class. ;)
Now every country need a sattelite over its own country..you see? ;-) (that was a joke, but the quote real.. dumb journalists.. ;)
The Beidou navigation satellites sit in an orbit over China. .
If you did not get it.. mm.. enroll in a basic physics/astronomy class.. journalists sure skipped'em .. ;-))
This one is a semi acoustic and sounds quite OK. I do know what an electric guitar is (and play traditional Spanish one..)
Now, THAT'S low.. ;-)
I lived in it. It is not what they teach in schools.
Hardly an old quote - definitely less than a month old, you one-legged donkey ass mite.
Would be to flip a bird.. Never can resist flipping one to ATM camera.. ;)
