Atlassers who used a GPS receiver over Easter will have noticed the
stability of the location displayed. I understand that this is because
the US Dept of Defence has turned off GPS selective availability to
assist NATO's operations in the awful war in Yugoslavia, as they did
during the Gulf war. It is also said that they intend turning off
selective availability permanently (quite independently of the war) in
August this year. Does anyone have information to confirm this?
