<GSTRF is so low now with high short positions. It can't go lower. > Veiko, while a nice thought, we should bear in mind that things are never so bad that they can't get worse. Unless we make things better, the natural tendency of entropy and random bad luck is enough to make things worse and worse until everyone is dead.
Usually, things don't go that far [despite the shroud-waving by environmentalists that we are going to destroy the world with pollution]. After a population is decimated in famines, wars or disease, the remaining people are so in fear of their lives that they start to take some serious action to fix things up.
Evolution didn't give us the big bump over our eyebrows just for fun. It was so we could see what was happening in complex threatening systems and figure out some escape and means of success.
So far, the signs are that the Globalstar Marketing people are the "missing link" between homo sapiens sapiens and Lucy.

Lucy did NOT eat her Wheaties, since agriculture and genetic selection of grains had not been established, so her nutritional status was low which perhaps contributed to her early demise. Globalstar staff should all be sure to eat their Wheaties each morning!
Ever hopeful,

PS: BobRealEstate, I've had a couple of nice days away in beautiful weather and return to find stormy conditions. You can be sure that not many people here are too prone to idolatry [in regard to Valueman]. I think you are mistaking appreciation and respect for sycophancy.
People respect Valueman's knowledge and opinions, with very good reason. We are happy to find gaps in thinking or facts and you should feel free to do so too. But you reduced your commentary to personal criticism, which you will have noticed nobody here appreciated [feel free to personally attack Dumb Deeber, Anthony@Pacific when he gets out of gaol and a few others].
We've had a couple of people who were valuable disappear. We depend on knowledgeable people who have contact with Globalstar information sources and management. We don't want to lose them [or "loose them" as a most highly venerated poster spells lose - we even allow hopeless apostrophe's sometimes]. It's not that people are overly sensitive, but unless they feel they get as good as they give in these discussions, they figure 'why bother?'
Already, you now have to figure out for yourself why IFN likes the Globalstar uplink. Pierre is puzzling [I haven't paddled all the way down the stream yet so maybe we have the answer already].
If you've read Andrew Viterbi's comments about voice and data, you'll see that Valueman is correct about Globalstar and data. Incidentally, the technology which you like so much is QUALCOMM's, not Globalstar's. The Loral people just bent a pipe, hooked on some photovoltaics and a battery, then stuck some satellites in a rented rocket. Some satellite engineers will whine like a fleet of 747s that satellites are more sophisticated than that.
The way Globalstar will be used for data is as an uplink request from Globalstar gadgets and the download will come via data satellites [that's my understanding anyway].
We do pull apart venerated posters' comments [for example Gregg Powers and George Gilder and they have had their share of valid criticism - GG got stuff wrong about Globalstar and so did Gregg Powers about some Q! things, and their errors were pointed out].
Sorry if this is all redundant and has been done to death already [if such an expression is not out of place in the Globalstar stream]. |
