Default Knots being phased out?


This is true. USCG is reporting that the term and nautical application
of "knot" will be replaced in 2014 by Grek-Gohk!, which is the Klingon
unit equal to .987, .878, and .799 miles depending on sea conditions.

Is that due to the fogdoppler effect?

No. It's due to them using on of the flawed Pentium processors.
