"Cows' milk for the calves" according to google without going through translate

Is that for the whole sentence or just part of it Jon?

That specific phrase I think - but I didn't look that carefully

[Geo the Sarge]

look up the juice of the barley on wiki

Yes. It all makes sense now.

Cow's milk for the calves,
And the juce of the barley for me.

[kinboshi]

Yes. It all makes sense now.

Cow's milk for the calves,
And the juce of the barley for me.

Cows' milk for the calves (I'd assume)?

[Karabiner]

Yes. It all makes sense now.

Cow's milk for the calves,
And the juce of the barley for me.

Cows' milk for the calves (I'd assume)?

Only if you assume that there is more than one cow.

Yes, that was my assumption.

Does GPS need actual sight of the satellite, i.e. no obstruction, or is the signal on a frequency that will pass through some materials, like your 3G signal passes through your jeans pocket for instance?

[RED-DOG]

Wow!

These are some of the problems they had to solve.



Transmitted GPS Signals

The principle of position determination by GPS and the accuracy of the positions strongly depend on the nature of the signals. A variety of criteria was considered in the development of a suitable signal structure. In consequence the GPS signal is quite complex and offers the possibility of determining the following parameters: one-way (passive) position determination, exact distance and direction determination (Doppler effect), transmission of navigation information, simultaneous receiving of several satellite signals, provision of corrections for ionospheric delay of signals and insusceptibility against interferences and multi path effects. In order to fulfil all these requirements, the signal structure described below was developed.

 
Choice of the carrier frequency

To transport data signals, a suitable carrier frequency is required. The choice of the carrier frequency is submitted to the following requirements:

Frequencies should be chosen below 2 GHz, as frequencies above 2 GHz would require beam antennae for the signal reception
Ionospheric delays are enormous for frequency rages below 100 MHz and above 10 GHz
The speed of propagation of electromagnetic waves in media like air deviates from the speed of light (in vacuum) the more, the lower the frequency is. For low frequencies the runtime is falsified.
he PRN-codes (explained below) require a high bandwidth for the code modulation on the carrier frequency. Therefore a range of high frequencies with the possibility of a high bandwidth has to be chosen.
The chosen frequency should be in a range where the signal propagation is not influenced by weather phenomena like, rain, snow or clouds.

The clocks in GPS satellites have to take into account the effects of general and specific relativity (that crazy stuff Einstein came up with), otherwise they would be inaccurate. They have to compensate for the curvature of spacetime and different relative motion of the earth and the satellites.

Hi Red, i have fitted a few trackers on vans that use gps, they will work thru plastic , but you cant put them under metal parts of a dashboard.

That's interesting, and it answers my original question.

I can't get over how all the millions of radios, TVs, phones, sat nav's etc manage to broadcast at the same time.

Lovely stuff Rich.

I considered getting a trap camera and I still might, but I have reservations. For me, a photograph should say, "I was there, I saw that, I took this photo."

I'm just eating something called Irish whiskey cake. It's delicious. Very heavy and extremely potent.

I've decided the recipe requires only two ingredients: Dark matter and Mooshine.

It's a dangerous thing to eat though. I mean, I could break my foot, go blind, or be killed by Mrs Red for not saving her any.

If I have another piece, I wonder if I'll be OK to drive?
