HaRDCoRe2xtrEmEs (11:33:42 PM): KVH makes the US military's gps systems, the A5 (in car statilite dish etc)
Biga5872 (11:33:47 PM): first thing is to ask are any of these companies already involved at all

Biga5872 (11:35:44 PM): ibm for instance
Biga5872 (11:35:55 PM): anyone know about any involvement at all

PooPsHoOt893 (11:36:14 PM): they are probably involved
Biga5872 (11:36:21 PM): I would think
t 0 n Y 1 2 7 (11:36:26 PM): i havent heard anything about ATI being involved
PooPsHoOt893 (11:37:10 PM): we could
PooPsHoOt893 (11:37:16 PM): but Linux is a main stream push now

Biga5872 (11:38:39 PM): get on delphi and ask around
PooPsHoOt893 (11:39:06 PM): with Linux-they will be attracted-because they know its all computer people-and thats a huge market to tap into
