A device using an electric field to affect gasoline vaporization is particularly dubious: gasoline being a non-polar fluid, it is entirely unaffected by electric fields.
People talk about this like it's something new, but bad posture while sitting has been around for as long as chairs have.
Next time you have to take a long drive, try setting your seat upright. Move the seat forward until your fingers can reach the dash, set the height at a comfortable level and adjust the mirrors.
You'll probably find that you need to stop and stretch less often. Most travel-related back problems are easily cured this way.
Legislating away the "analog hole" has always been a wet dream for content owners. Until the consortium for the DRMed video interface previously mentioned on slashdot manages to screw us permanently, the signal will always be available, and this is just another attempt to jump the gun. Problem is, how are we supposed to edit video without a capture card?
Who's up for subjugating a third world government to get a hold of a shipment of these?
On a more serious note, what's to stop the third world government from filling its coffers by, say, selling these things on ebay? Assuming these are ever even produced, there remain huge challenges in getting these down to the people they are meant to benefit and training educators to be able to use such a device.
Which would you choose?
Help the third world by expending millions to distribute these to third world countries and assist in training educators in their use -or- Rake in profits that would make Steve Jobs drool by selling these units for $199 a piece in the developed world
From the article: "GPS 2R-M1 will assume the Plane C, Slot 4 position, taking over for the GPS 2A-20 craft launched in May 1993."
From the designation of the old satellite, I presume that this position is number 20 on GPS receiving equipment. Just a guess.
By the way, does anybody know how they plan to move the old one out of the way? According to info found here the origional was a 3-axis stabilized NAVSTAR, but I doubt it will be able to move significantly with only its thrusters.
Another interesting point: the page lists the design life of this series at 7.5 years. Which means this satellite was replaced a mere 4 years, 10 months, and 13 days beyond its expected service life.

Old hat. Even the 20% economy improvement has been ripped off prior scam-device claims of similar variety.
The entire class of vaporization enhancement devices has been thoroughly done away with: http://www.fuelsaving.info/atomisation.htm
