back in the 1920's, ships (and aircraft, at least some of them) had RDF,
specifically to avoid the dangers of DRing.

shen, think of it this way. what would *you* do IF 25% of ALL commercial
aircraft crashed before making it 20 years?


If it was back in the teens or twenties, I'd probably create the FAA.
How'd yer planes life span look back then?

Prime example of the way things rattle around in jax's mind and come out as
statements, unrelated to the question.
It's almost like jax goes into "brain freeze" everytime he's asked a question
he has no answer for or doesn't like the answer to.

I just love the way you admit you're wrong.

way to go, schlackoff, you are beginning to understand. soon you will

realize

that you need more than one reference point, but certainly the sun can be

used

for one of them. In fact, the sun has been used as a reference point for
sailing for maybe a thousand years.

Ah, very good joxitchby. Now you are beginning to understand. Soon you
will realize that if you are standing in a forrest, can see the sun and
the moon at the same time (very possible certain times of the month and
day) and can even see a jetliner passing overhead (3 ***reference***
points) then you can still be lost. Of course, you'll have to admit to
being wrong to also admit it's still possible to be lost with those 3
known reference points I listed.

After all, according to you if you can see a reference point then you
know where you are.

so, you do NOT know what a noon sight is, right schlackoff?

hint: it is a measurement of a reference point and is used to termine
position.

You idiot, of couse I know what a noon sight is. But according to you,
if you can see a reference point then you know where you are. So you
said that if you can see the sun at noon then you know where you are.
That's just one of the many idiotic things you've said and can't admit
to being wrong about. And here you are again telling us that all you
need is a noon sight and you can determine your position. It's plainly
obvious that all you're doing is regurtitating information you find with
a web search and you really have no idea what you're talking about.

schlackoff? are you purposely trying to appear dense, or are you really,
really stew ped? It appears you don't understand one word in five in any
normal sentence.

As we all know by now, that's your way of admitting you're wrong, and
you cannot determine your position simply by seeing a reference point as
you have claimed.

Steve

schlackoff, *you* were the one claiming that reference points were not needed
to determine position, and *you* were the one claiming that the sun could never
be a reference point.

little boy, it seem apparent you have not a clew what the word "reference"
means, most certainly not in the context of a point.
