<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In fact, Inuit has about between one and two dozen
lexemes to mean particular types of "snow", but so does English:</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT size=3><FONT size=2>The point about the
original article that spawned this was that there was no "blanket" term in Inuit
to mean "all types of snow". There were, however, two blanket terms, one which
means "any type of falling snow", one which means "any type of settled snow"...
but heh, that's the same situation as classical
greek!</FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Outstanding - Satcom's! actually something on the list
that I have knowledge of(that's if operating a quadruple cdma - twin channel,
on a moving platform - a ship, counts)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>This is where you have to find a spoken language a bit
like "Inuit", except instead of having 43 different words for snow, you need
the same for rain/airbourne moisture, because of the reflective properties of
rain/water - the rain in "big lumps" isn't a problem, but you should try it in
dense fog/mist, and even better, snow - now that really tests software error
correction abilities!</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Those of you who are "sky'd up" will have observed the
phenomena when the picture "pixelates"!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Still, I say you had it easy. You should try maintaining
a good signal when the stable platform mounting of the downlink antenna has
gone "breasts vertical" and you have to track the satellite by hand for 8
hours in a mission critical environment (a warzone i.e.
Yugoslavia!)</FONT></DIV>
