    Good Idea.

    You need

    a. an eagle
    b. Circle shape
    c. American flag (or obvious representation)
    d. Gold color somewhere
    e. Star/s
    f. cloth banner or rope (something material)
    g. emotionally evocative name (based on 3 letter acronym)
    Use words like, protection, family, prevention etc.. so as to play people emotionally and also to exude an impression. Who cares if the impression is false, the official name will ooze out so much impression that people will be fooled.


    optional naming additions to the 3 letter acronym:

    1. add "national","international","federal" or similar, to beginning of name.
    2. add "center","institute","agency" or similar, to end of name.

    Just wondering...is there a "FBI anti-corruption WARNING", graphic ?
    Considering how corruption is far worse for the people than copying worthless legal content is. And copying worthless "legal content" is not bad at all for people.
    Must be a reflection of who the FBI work for.

    inB4 .."corporations are people my friend". They are not.

    White Knighting - twice in one day - I'm tired

    We already have The Pirate Party, MEP's and local political officials. But We still need a president...
    Pirate Mike for president - 2012 ?
    Sounds like a good choice.

    What's it feel like to be on the wrong side of history, where pirates are proud and anti-pirates are shameful scum that hate culture ?
    I probably "spun it wrong"
    Spin it right and the Anti-pirates are proud, kind people.
    cough...cough...not sneaky...cough...greedy bastards at all...cough...bullshit

    Thank you

    That is "funny" that I appreciate, didn't see it until you pointed it out.

    Re: Re:

    Calling a site that users upload images to "thieves" ?
    I think you will find Inman done that.

    Getting the law involved is all Carreon, he is a lawyer after all.
    "It certainly is true that no lawsuit has been filed here"

    no.... More of an Inman than a Carreon.

    Re: Re: Re: Re:

    I don't really get it either. It was her cartoon that she found funny, so I just twisted it back at her.
    It doesn't mean I find it funny or unfunny. But "knowing" her humor (via her comic), she will find it unfunny.

    There was also the unrelated point of, is criticism by copying "theft".

    gone !

    quickly went to cache.
    Got quick screencaps of the link mentioned, but its gone from google cache already. ( as I was looking at it)
    Screencap One
    Screencap two

    http://opedcartoons.com is also now gone.



    She tried an Inman and it didn't work.
    She shouldn't be calling people thieves for criticizing her work.
    But she doesn't deserve a world of hate for it.

    Hey ... you forgot to mention trolls.

    OH wait.... they are all trolls. OK then , this is my response.

    No probs, I like looking into things. Don't mind facts changing my opinion either.

    I assumed wrongly that the "cost" was cash.
    The "cost" of GPS to other countries is actually... lesser accuracy and control by a foreign country.

    cant tell if troll OR has Humor Tourette Syndrome

    Keep on saying it, eventually it will be true.
    It will happen on the same day that I stop laughing at myself. The day that my humor dies.
    When did yours die ?
    I would like to know, how long I have got left before I am compelled to tell people they are not funny.


    It wasn't directed at you anyway... WHY do you care ?

    A Butthurt fan maybe ?

    White knighting for a change ( I have sword )

    You make so much sense that I think I just shat myself.
    Or is it the frequency of your words that resonate at "5#17 Hz".

    Either way.... there certainly is an increase smell of shite since your comment appeared.

    Put the Shoe on the Other Foot (still legit)

    my ignorance.....too quick to jump to false conclusions, my bad.
    The subject of space tech is fascinating, definitely worth lurking into on your day off.



    GPS = free ( funded by US tax payer ) but the US military control it.
    The patent filed in 2003. Designed to make Galileo and GPS Block III satellites compatible.(due for launch in 2014). Recommended for adoption by Europe and the USA in 2006.


    Galileo ( funded by nearly every other country )
    Galileo is intended to be an EU GNSS civilian system that allows all users access to it. GPS is a US GNSS military system that provides location signals that have high precision to US military users, while also providing less precise location signals to others. The GPS had the capability to block the "civilian" signals while still being able to use the "military" signal (M-band). A primary motivation for the Galileo project was European concern that the US could deny others access to GPS during political disagreements.[7]

    Since Galileo was designed to provide the highest possible precision (possibly even greater than GPS) to anyone, the US was concerned that an enemy could use Galileo signals in military strikes against the US and its allies (some weapons like missiles use GNSS systems for guidance). The frequency initially chosen for Galileo would have made it impossible for the US to block the Galileo signals without also interfering with their own GPS signals. The US did not want to lose their GNSS capability with GPS while denying enemies the use of GNSS. Some US officials became especially concerned when Chinese interest in Galileo was reported.[35]

    An anonymous European official claimed that the US officials implied that they might consider shooting down Galileo satellites in the event of a major conflict in which Galileo was used in attacks against American forces.[36] The EU's stance is that Galileo is a neutral technology, available to all countries and everyone. At first, EU officials did not want to change their original plans for Galileo, but have since reached a compromise, that Galileo was to use a different frequency. This allowed the blocking/jamming of one GNSS system without affecting the other, giving the US a greater advantage in conflicts in which it has the electronic warfare upper hand.[37] However, the frequency difference also makes it possible to jam the GPS without affecting the Galileo.

    One of the reasons given for developing Galileo as an independent system was that position information from GPS can be made significantly inaccurate by the deliberate application of universal Selective Availability (SA) by the US military; this was enabled until 2000, and can be re-enabled at any time. GPS is widely used worldwide for civilian applications; Galileo's proponents argued that civil infrastructure, including aeroplane navigation and landing, should not rely solely upon a system with this vulnerability.

    On May 2, 2000, SA was disabled by President of the United States Bill Clinton; in late 2001 the entity managing the GPS confirmed that they did not intend to enable selective availability ever again.[40] Though Selective Availability capability still exists, on 19 September 2007 the US Department of Defense announced that newer GPS satellites would not be capable of implementing Selective Availability;[41] the wave of Block IIF satellites launched in 2009, and all subsequent GPS satellites, do not support SA. As old satellites are replaced in the GPS modernization program, SA will cease to be an option. The modernization programme also contains standardized features that allow GPS III and Galileo systems to inter-operate, allowing receivers to be developed to utilise GPS and Galileo together to create an even more precise GNSS system.

    TL;DR (nontechnical version)

    The patent is for something to make two systems work together (GPS and Galileo).
    US claims that the UK had insider info because of their work on Galileo.
    The US hate the idea of global satellite positioning systems that they don't control.
    The patent seems legit, but America don't like it, they want control of Galileo.

    The U.S would never...force *British consumers to pay more for GPS navigation devices and even affect the operations of the *British military.

    OH wait...who currently owns GPS
