Too late now , some scally's nicked it .

They'd have a good job trying, the alternator broke on Thursday. It's rubber ducked. Just won't start.

Managed to get it going using jump leads yesterday but I can't be arsed with all that, I need to get it replaced ASAP.

Google has revolutionized cartography in the past few years. Google Earth is a monster of an application--both in terms of what it can do and in terms of the RAM it burns up!--and Google maps has changed the way the public uses cartography. Hell, they've even shared the code, allowing anyone with spatial data to create their own mash-up maps using Google maps for base maps. If anyone's curious about these mash-ups, there's an great little site devoted to them HERE.

Just today, my wife was using Google maps to plot promising houses in Halifax...are soon to be new hometown. We've never been to the city but just by mapping the houses that appeal to us from real estate sites, we already have a pretty decent sense of the interesting neighbourhoods.

(Sorry, if I get a little excited on this topic...I've just been lecturing to my students about digital maps and the Google revolution!

The satellite pics of Liverpool city centre are well out of date on Google Earth/Maps. Considering they've been doing the Paradise St. project for the best part of 2 1/2 years Chavasse Park is still on there as is the moat house hotel.
I know that there was a story on Radio City last year that said some business leaders were well pee'd off because all of the major changes taking place in the city were being missed off when fecking London was getting updated everytime a cockney goes the crapper or something.

I've just spent the past hour feckin' about on Google Earth, 'push-pinning' all of the places that mean something to me. I'd done this ages ago on my old laptop but the thing kept crashing with Google Earth up so I had to bin it. Got myself a new laptop today, though, and it's got the horses for that program! :cool:

Go onto Google Maps and type "Mount St. Helens"

Crystal clear spectacular image.

not sure how google came to get this technology, if its ex military but there are places where the resolution is so great that you can make out people very clearly, these are not the type of places you would expect but places where somebody was definitely looking for something or someone.

I have long suspected "THE MAN" was monitoring me.

That's why I wear a tinfoil hat and I shaved my testicles.

The shaved testicles don't prevent being monitored. But I find it to be refreshing.

Yeah its awesome. Drove there in 2001. You can actually drive to an observation post very close to mountain. the view is spectacular, plenty of trees still lying flat, like a giant hand swatted them.

If you type "Pearl Harbor" into Google Maps, you can actually see the USS Arizona submerged under it's memorial, all rusty but still visible.
