Re: Malaysia Airlines MH370
No. GPS devices that are commonly in use are receivers not transmitters. They receive a signal from a number of GPS satellites and from that data they work out where they are.Bruce Rioja wrote:Well yes, but can it not pick out where folk, or rather their appliances are?Lost Leopard Spot wrote:GPS is beamed BY satellites, it's not beamed to them...Bruce Rioja wrote:What about GPS though?Hoboh wrote:Along with no mobile masts are out to sea.Wi-fi of the sort found in US planes, using a ground-to-orbit system called "Go-go", is not yet available in Asia.

Some of you, no doubt are thinking "he's talking bollix"Lost Leopard Spot wrote:My second theory is (if it's not in Sinkiang) it's in Somalia.
But. Here's the thing: this satellite that had hourly 'handshakes' [technical note: not pings] with the engines could only calculate the incident angle the handshake arrived from, hence these two corridors that ignorant journalists are talking about.
1. The incident angle forms a circle above the position of the satellite (not two arcs).
2. As the satellite is well high, this circle cuts down through the atmosphere. The further west, the higher.
That's not a leopard!

3. The maps published show only the centre line.
4. If flown south, above the ocean, at high altitude, the plane can easily have made an undetected great circle to land in Somalia.
5. The higher the easier the jet stream carries it east to west.
6. I'll let yourselves work out why that might not only be feasible, and possible , but a motive.

Not wise for anyone to take on the Chinese, really.
Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.

In fairness whilst I think it's distasteful, it's pretty good. I don't know how it is in Canadia, but that's exactly the sorry of corporate bullshit we get!

Re: Malaysia Airlines MH370
It's doomed now!
David Cameron has telephoned Najib Razak, the Malaysian prime minister, to offer his support.
Mr Cameron's spokesman said:
It was very much inviting any specific requests from the Malaysians. Prime Minister Najib said he would think about that and let us know if they have any specific requests.
Mr Cameron wanted to "make clear his thoughts are particularly with all the relatives of those who were on board the missing flight" and to "offer any support which the Malaysian authorities might find helpful", said the spokesman.
Prime Minister Najib thanked him for that and they agreed to stay in touch on this issue.

Was there an accompanying photo of him looking serious/constipated whilst on the phone?

You can judge the whole world on the sparkle that you think it lacks.
Yes, you can stare into the abyss, but it's staring right back.

This story is getting weirder and weirder...
Apparently now some of the families of the passengers are threatening to go on hunger strike.
