I think that Google Earth should have a temporal dimension as well as a spatial, going back at least to launch. That way one could specify not only a street address but a date one wanted to view it.
Maybe when data storage gets even bigger/cheaper.
>>I agree, McCain has some class..I've always known that...
Which makes it all the more contemptible how he sold out his principles, decency and reputation in his desperation to win.
>>Then vote for the godless heathen ticket, and while you're there, fuck someone.
Such an amazing coincidence, the pro-marriage brochure that lay prominently on a table the voting line had to walk past, given the nature of one of our ballot issues.
Seriously, this shit should be illegal and prosecuted.
McCain isn't Bush. (Sorry, I live in AZ and that's the best I can do.)
Although...
His entire life has been one of lofty expectations, whith both his father and grandfather being men of great accomplishment. John, by comparison, has been a failure.
Scarily familiar...

>>It's not the Bubbies and Zaydies in Florida that need convincing, it's the Bubbas and the JimBobs.
Oh, I disagree. Age is an even greater predictor of voting in this election than, um, education level.
>>After all the blunders and unorthodox choices, there's an odd feeling of the Republicans flaunting 'No matter what, we'll win'.
And the mindblowing thing is, they well might.
>>Obama Tells Press to "Back Off" on Palin
Not his call to make.
I believe this is being worked on by the guy who did Enso, which was majorly awesome (way better potential than Launchy, IMO...I'm still pissed at them for abandoning it). This is not as good, but it is very good.
No surprise. I've always said that the so-called "uncanny valley" was an overhyped, temporary phenomenon.
How long until the first politician (researcher, doctor, etc.) is revealed not only to not have the credentials he claims on his C.V. but to not exist?
There is no uncanny valley. There are only neurotic people.

The best presidential candidate of my lifetime actually WINS. Astounding. Pity it's too late for even him to save the U.S. now.
