  1. cleaning the SA signal on U.S. May Reduce Non-Military GPS Accuracy · · Score: 1
    Actually it is possible. Has nothing to do with triangulating, though.

    If you have one receiver in known coordinates and another at an unknown position (quite near the first one), you can 'detract' the error of the first receiver from the signal of the second. This way you get an error-free signal for the second receiver.

    This is usually done in post-processing, but I have seen it done on the fly.

    I would be irritated if a CGI character was put in the same category as me (even if a real guy was behind the inspiration of the character).

    I agree with you when you say that awards are important as a way to show appreciation to actors. But your logic fails when you try to prove that Serkis did not act LOTR: His every move is visible on the screen and his every word can be heard. That is hardly 'inspiration of the character'...

  3. Re:UK switching to Linux on New Antitrust Complaint Filed Against Microsoft · · Score: 1
    How can a foreign country sue a corporation that does not reside within its borders?

    But it does reside within EU boundaries: MS has offices (and fully owned subsidiaries) in probably every EU country. The gambling sites, on the other hand, do not.
