True, i guess i just don't like the atmosphere created within NWN. I agree it has potential, but as always its down to your personal tastes. for example, i much prefer looking at halflife than quake 3, but i agree the quake3 engine has more potential, and certainly has been improved upon the create some fine games, such as MoH.
This isn't relevant to the article, but frankly i was disgusted with NWN. Comparing it to baldurs gate is rediculous, i would much sooner take BG over NWN. NWN proved that flashy 3d graphics don't make for an interesting game. NWN was much more like diablo than BG, a hack and slash adventure with some role playing thrown in for laughs.
I believe it has already been stated above that it is unlikely to affect gps readings in the US, since the area of affect is regionalised, and GPS requires line of site between satelite/reciever, hence it's unlikely any of the affected satelites around the middle east would be used in calculating locations on the other side of the world, ie, the US.

Well the section is called slashBACK, meaning followups and information related to previous articles.

It's certainly viable, I don't think the US would disrupt a service such that it would affect services such as its own emergency services.
