 Comparison of ERS altimeter and GPS heights on the Amery Ice Shelf, East Antarctica
The sides of the squares are scaled according to the magnitude of the RMS height difference; the inset square represents an RMS of 1 m.
For each track the mean and RMS errors using the 25% threshold value (all three repeats combined) are given in Table 4a, and the combined mean and RMS errors for all tracks at the three thresholds in Table 4b.
The total combined RMS error remaining after correcting for the orbit error, propagation delays, tidal motion and tracking error is 12 cm which, when considering the GPS closure error of 40 cm, does not fully account for the range of RMS values of height differences being obtained along individual ERS tracks.

 Slashdot | RMS Accused Of Attempting Glibc Hostile Takeover
This common misunderstanding is part of why RMS is so adamant about "GNU/Linux." A modern Linux system uses the GNU project's system libraries, compiler toolchain, and (mostly) command-line Unix tools (tar, gzip, etc.) Without any one of these, Linux couldn't function as a modern Free OS -- they're not "trivial" add-ons like Perl or Apache.
RMS takes NO responsibility that GNU stuff will work with any new version of the kernel, therefore he gets no mention except as Dell might mention Sony.
If you ask the people who were around rms on the early days of Linux, you will see that they tell a story from different angles: `Do not work on Linux, work on the Hurd, anything else is a waste of time'.
