"navigatio eccere necessis" - that's what the ancient Romans said when hitting the Mediterranean sea to conquer foreign countries.
Today's navigational systems work much more precisely than their (Romans) compasses and coastal lighting systems.
Just for comparison: GPS has a position accuracy of 10m and a height accuracy of 35m.
Galileo has a position accuracy of 4m and a height accuracy of 8m.
These values are valid for any public navigational system.
The NASA did not like the European precision (giving the required accuracy to drop weapons at full impact power hitting bull's eye), but now a marriage is due.
NASA and European space technologies will join for better navigation of vehicles.
Galileo offers accuracy to a DIN-A4 size paper sheet for military and puplic services, such as land measuring (of course for extra payment)

DO NOT VOTE !! - Section 49-0
DO NOT VOTE !!! - says who?? says Section 49-0 of "Conduct of Election Rules, 1961"...
Did you know that there is a system in our constitution, as per the Section 49-O of the "Conduct of Election Rules, 1961", that a person can go to the polling booth, confirm his identity, get his finger marked and convey the presiding election officer that he doesn't want to vote anyone!
Yes such a feature is available, but obviously these seemingly notorious leaders have never disclosed it. This is called "49-O".
Why should you go and say "I VOTE NOBODY"... Because, in a ward, if a candidate wins, say by 123 votes, and that particular ward has received "49-O" votes more than 123, then that polling will be cancelled and will have to be re-polled .
Not only that, but the candidature of the contestants will be removed and they cannot contest the re-polling, since people had already expressed their decision on them .
This would bring fear into parties and hence look for genuine candidates for their parties for election. This would change the way, of our whole political system... It is seemingly surprising why the election commission has not revealed such a feature to the public....
Please spread this news to as many as you know...... Seems to be a wonderful weapon against corrupt parties in India... Show your power,expressing your desire not to vote for anybody, is even more powerful than voting... So don't miss your chance. So either vote, or vote not to vote (vote 49-O) and pass this info on...
I VOTE FOR NOBODY !!!
