Yeah, that's a funny old joke. I read it in the Navy Times in the 70's, and it was prolly hoary then. The joke has more versions than Firefox. I'm glad it made it to youtube. Those arrogant Americans! What a country!

I'm not sure I want to follow the link, but googling it let to this interesting tidbit from the Army's OPFOR guide http://www.apd.army.mil/epubs/... "Note: A GPS jammer the size of cigarette pack transmitting 4 Watts, can effectively deny use of GPS in an area ranging as far as 150-200 km. It is extremely simple to install one of these lightweight GPS jammers into a small UAV. Off-the-shelf remote controlled aircraft can also be modified to provide this capability. "
Yes. "By 2003, Spam was sold in 41 countries on six continents and trademarked in over 100 countries (except in the Middle East and North Africa)." - wikipedia
Nice excuse. Military vessels are supposed to have radar you know? What if they had to, shudder, fight an actual war where the enemy doesn't have their GPS transponder on to begin with?
Mmm. Not to mention, in boot camp they're all issued with personal sets of Binocular Integrated Optical facilities Mk 1.
I mention this in tribute to our favorite russkiy komik, a funny guy from the Cold War. It occurs to me, there must have been some expat Americans over in the USSR doing the comedy circuit. Is anyone aware of anyone?
wikipedia: His humor combined a mockery of life under Communism and of consumerism in the United States, as well as word play caused by misunderstanding of American phrases and culture, all punctuated by the catchphrase, "And I thought, 'What a country!'"
Yes, I saw those items later, as well as speeches and writings by popular confederates. Slavery was the key issue, and arguments for states rights supported that doctrine. An early example of a "pivot".
"Has the NSA infested the community?" NSA motto: "In God we trust. All others we monitor" They have no interest in taking part in the conversation. So we have to think: who else might be interested in sowing dissension?

"Long term traffic is knowable via VHS."
Well, there's the problem. They need to upgrade to CD at least, if not BlueRay.

Interesting. And they can track the exact machine used by its keystrokes, a nice little side benefit.
The US Navy seems to be doing a pretty good job at colliding with things without any help from the Russians.
Or...are they?! (Cue Twilight Zone riff)
Oh, come on, comrades, this is a funny old tech meme! Lighten up a bit on the mods.
Hormel has regional SPAM?

In the past I think a lot of the guessing was by scientists that were not engineers.
And then there was Erich von Däniken. Great fun for pubescent minds.
