If you are an avid late-night radio listener (goerge nory, art bell), you'd know about this already, or read slashdot, actually I just heard it on our radio here at work, but we have a large 9k (the biggest) space storm coming, they said it could mess up our GPS navigation

I noticed nothing this morning, but I'll check the sat count on the way home, anyone notice anything?

Nothing apart from my hair being a bit frizzy this morning. Sat counts are good for me.

well... it's space... how long will it takes for the effect to travel all the way to the earth?

Well, my 22" Dell CRT monitor did flickered out of no reason this morning @ approx 8:15am EST. I was saying WTF??? lasted about 4 seconds.

heheh, if this wasn't a .gov website, I'll have to call Bull*****

Call bull**** anyway, being a .gov website you might be half right!
