As another commenter said, I don't think cryptography is the main problem.

You've got to be able to modulate some numbers out of the radio signal first before you need to be concerned if it's encrypted or not.

GPS signals from power conserving satellites are so weak that I'd imagine that overwhelming them with noise on all frequencies would be the easy answer. (Although there's a Big Brain hyper-cunning answer to that...).

So you could hava "Delta decent airlines" and "Delta fucking shit piss-stained seats threadbare aircraft $15 50ml Coke cans" then?

Totally different market sectors.

If it's all in writing you can't just force another company to do what you want. What you can do is wriggle, twist and delay until it becomes too expensive for the smaller company to continue to pursue.

However judges are more than well aware of this technique and will allow the plaintiff to accrue costs against Legal Aid (paid for by government).

So what usually happens:

  1. Small co files against large co for using same name
  2. Large co produces huge response document which is all piss and wind
  3. Small co says they can't afford the costs to answer each point
  4. Judge permits Small Co to use Legal Aid.
  5. Large co offers to settle. (E.g. you're a 3 person sandwich shop. They offer you £10m. No more work, no more hassle)

If Small Co is energetic, young and courageous, they may choose to fight to the death. But Legal Aid has a limit...

Thank you, I've saved that for a quiet moment.

Presumably the pilot would have been ordered to do this. To what end? Why?

Yes China, we know you want Taiwan back. Either commit to solid action or don't. This bizarre behaviour just risks lives and expensive aircraft.

Seriously, what's the point?

Yeah man, that scratches the itch!

Fun (albeit personal) fact: I'm a Brit who was sent to work in Texas in '96. I've still got a "Don't Mess With Texas" t- shirt from that time.

Yorkshire here. Get a train on the east coast mainline to Leeds (they're hourly) and increase your sample size to include Northern accents this improving the quality of your report from "being south of Watford".

Probably what happened was that scraps were scraped off.

Yeah I also wondered if "nuclear gravity" was some fascinating new branch of physics.

Got real disappointed when I realised that it meant dropping 'em.

58 Gen X Brit here. Even I know the correct response. It was a popular tune.

I stand corrected.

But regarding tabs, according to these guys...

The glory belongs to InternetWorks by BookLink Technologies, an old-time browser from the early 1990s that you've probably never heard of.
