A11. The challenge vehicle is free to use publicly available signals. This includes differential GPS receivers in towns or counties along the way. A team may establish a private differential GPS receiver, as long as it is fully autonomous, at a checkpoint.

If the ribbon severed, say at 100 km, it would react to "inertial drag"( probably the wrong term) and spread out in the path of Earth's rotation, thus spreading across a large area of the equator. Atmospheric drag would effect this but I'm guessing that the material is heat resistant so wouldn't we see a red hot "whip" slam down? The path seems safe in som eqitorial ares, but I'm only a caveman.

Just space several hay bales at the bottom several feet/yards in front of the obstacles. Break them apart a bit so they'll cushion the shock enough. It'll still smart to hit one, but you'll likely walk away unharmed.
I bought a 36" standard set last week. I also bought a year of sattelite(sp?) service. I would assume a set top box would be made available, hopefully an open source solution as I'm buying a TV card. Almost ten years ago I chose to either pay for Internet access or Cable TV access. I chose the former and have been more than happy with it. My life is in no way lessened by not seeing "The Sopranos" or any of the other shows out there. If all of TV moves to a subscription model, so be it! I'll only miss the news that is deemed to be fed to me while continuing to recieve what I find important. The "great" shows will be better targeted and I'll miss them no more than I do now. No big whup.
I'll have this Satelite thing for a year(I can afford both Internet and Satellite now). I doubt it'll make a huge diference as I have a laptop to work in while I engage my couch.
