Alibi's name should be changed to "Kidnapping Bait," because that's her main purpose in life.

Why, yes she does."Not again" indeed - Lung's messing up again. Does Alibi still explode if killed?
At this rate Pwnage should make "Taylor Hebert" their 'un'official 'fourth' member as their designated 'innocent bystander' and then mention the benefits package she gets for it, it would be a great way to increase viewers and help turn their 'shows' into possibly actual shows.
Complete with a publicity shot of Uber and Leet as Mario and Luigi, with Hax guest starting as Samus, saving Taylor as Princess Peach, from a Hologram of Dragon!Lung dressed up as Bowser...
Maybe a bonus picture of Hax glaring at a cowering Uber and Leet with a Yoshi costume behind her, possibly burning/in tatters.Complete with a publicity shot of Uber and Leet as Mario and Luigi, with Hax guest starting as Samus, saving Taylor as Princess Peach, from a Hologram of Dragon!Lung dressed up as Bowser...

Über and L33t had domino masks on, while I wore my multi-mode goggles.
Even with modern GPS, it was still not uncommon to have an error of dozens, even hundreds, of feet.
Well, for all anyone knows, Uber and L33t are just normals. Anyone can wear a mask, after all. They wear more complete disguises when out and about as criminals; this is more to keep people from getting a good look at their features while they're here.I know domino masks are shorthand for being disguised in superhero stories, but this still bothers me. In Worm canon they're specifically implied by Tattletale's costume to require a considerable amount of effort to make reasonably effective. Otherwise all you're really doing is putting a giant neon sign on yourself revealing your face and that you're a parahuman.
When I use my phone GPS to pinpoint my location, it wanders all over the place sometimes. Ten to twelve metres is not uncommon.Simurgh satellite interference? I know Aleph has far more accurate GPS than that.
(Also, blech, feet as a unit of measurement. Bloody Americans.)
Hey! It's an international accepted and used system! Myanmar and Liberia use it, too! Which is weird, because you never really think of those two as having their shit sorted out, but....(Also, blech, feet as a unit of measurement. Bloody Americans.)

She should ask Lung for a stamp on her frequent kidnappee card.
The accuracy of a GPS fix depends near-entirely on the receiver. A naive receiver that uses ephemeris positions and default ionospheric models only will get within 10-20 meters; the addition of more-sophisticated ionospheric models and/or dual-frequency can get within 3-5 meters; if you have an external data link for a DGPS/PPP fix, you can get within 5 cm. Cell phones usually have something closer to the former.When I use my phone GPS to pinpoint my location, it wanders all over the place sometimes. Ten to twelve metres is not uncommon.
Isn't there an accuracy limit of something like 5m unless you have a military-model GPS, because the data channels that allow accuracy better than that are encrypted?The accuracy of a GPS fix depends near-entirely on the receiver.

If that were the case, then this is what your car GPS would sound like:Isn't there an accuracy limit of something like 5m unless you have a military-model GPS, because the data channels that allow accuracy better than that are encrypted?
I've never had a GPS that could accurately determine the lane of a moving vehicle without additional information.If that were the case, then this is what your car GPS would sound like:
GET IN THE LEFT LANE.
NO. NOT THIS LANE. THE LEFT LANE.
GET IN THE LANE FIVE METERS TO THE LEFT OF WHERE YOU ARE NOW.
OH GOD WHAT IS HAPPENING. HOW DID YOU MAKE THAT TURN. THAT SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE.
EVERYTHING I KNOW IS A LIE.

Artificial errors may result from jamming devices and threaten ships and aircraft or from intentional signal degradation through selective availability, which limited accuracy to ~6–12 m, but has been switched off since May 1, 2000.
Right, but they mentioned something else. They mentioned something that is the case, there are encrypted secondary channels that allow for more accuracy via comparisons between them, and while it can used without the ability to decrypt the channels it's not quite as good and more significantly it's too slow to be widely usable.There used to be artificial error inducement, but that was switched off back in May, 2000.
My GPS just assumes I'm in the correct lane until I prove otherwise by not doing the thing that I needed to be in that lane to do (e.g., by not exiting the highway). Then it recalculates and tells me to smear bread across my forehead.If that were the case, then this is what your car GPS would sound like:
We shall see.Interesting set up there. Can the Undersiders hold out long enough for the cavalry to arrive, or will this be one teleport too far?
