And certainly don't stop here either.

oops:
here's the corrected link

For those who don't know where Wilkes Barre is:

Here's a map

There appear to be two addresses for Heather MacDonald in New York, NY (her bio says she lives and works there, so perhaps those are the two addresses).

Clicking on the "Find out more about Heather Macdonald" link, it says the resident at both addresses is 28 years old. From her picture in the bio link, it appears that this could be her (she looks to be in her 30s but perhaps all that negative thinking has taken a toll on her appearance).

I tried finding the address of the Manhattan Institute from their web site, but it appears not to be listed. Another Google search ("Manhattan Institute address") found the following page with their address on it, which differs from the two previous addresses, so apparently Ms. MacDonald owns two residences.

Here are maps for both locations .

Note that this took all of a 5-minute search (it is taking longer to write this post than it took to do the digging).

Now, if I wanted to do more damage I could follow the "Search Public Records" link from the White Pages page. This allows you to download Online Detective 3.0, which allows you to search various databases (marriage/divorce, criminal records, DMV records, social security number traces, federal/state records, driver's license reports, asset search, and more). I downloaded this and installed in a roll-backable VM (trust noone) and nowhere on the site does it mention this but (as I assumed) you have to pay for the service. However, for just $9.95 I could have access to the service for 1 day. Imagine the kind of damage you could do in 24 hours, for under ten bucks.

She's gotta be out of her freakin' mind when she says we don't need to worry about privacy. I suppose she has a point -- why worry about what the government can do, when for under ten bucks any Tom, Dick or Harry can do it themselves?

that Bill Gates's house is very close (approx 19 min) by in Medina.

lol...

reminds me of a joke a friend used to tell everyone. he's from just outside cleaveland, and would say he's from Hicksville OH.

that is, until he learned there really was a Hicksville OH

He's right - the average Vulcan thinks the average Romulan is a troll because he lives under the bridge.

I'm thinking of the one on Van Ness that's part of the UDC campus. It's just west of the main quad, and south of a football field. The mapquest photo make it look like it's still there...

To be honest, though, I haven't been back there in years.

Unfortunately, at mound that road is known as Metro Parkway.

it's really only known as Big Beaver for the little stretch in troy by I-75.

this map shows both the Metro/Mound intersection, and exit 69 from I75 south onto Big Beaver.

For anyone interested in Texas or Louisiana geography when hearing about reports of debris, this MapQuest map may provide some helpful orientation. The towns I've heard mentioned so far are Nacogdoches (TX), Palestine (TX), and Shreveport (LA). The shuttle was heading southeast to land in Florida.

Almost all debris reports so far focus on Nacogdoches. Palestine and Shreveport stories seem to be more focused on hearing sound from the incident. Here's the best article on debris I found just now while searching Google news.

And programmed it to hit this target ;)

I thought this was a book about rednecks!

Kiln, MS - Hometown of Green Bay QB Brett Favre

This isn't troll/flamebait - I come from the area, so I have the right to say that. :)

For the geographically challenged: a map

Speaking of never having seen one of those things in real life, I just happened to see someone using one of those a couple months ago in Bel Air, MD. I was driving down through and did a double-take as the guy was crossing the road on an intersection crosswalk. Looked like he was leaving from the supermarket (which was rather close -- and he had grocery bags) and he was heading towards a residential area.

I thought to myself "Bastard!" Man was I jealous...

Looked pretty cool.

ok slashdotess, who REALLY lives there??

I say let's subscribe postmaster@ebayupdates.com to a bunch of OPT-in mailing lists. Also, we can also let the credit card companies know that who ever lives at 1742 Bolton Village Lane, Niceville FL 32578 is open for receiving junkmail. We should also send qspam52@aol.com lots of junk email as well as subscribing it more junk email lists. Though, it would appear that it is just a spam email account someone used. Though we could, however, call 713-552-6332 at all odd times of the day just to bug the crap out of the person. Or better yet, let's just go down there and TP whoever lives at that address and put a bag of crap on their doorstep and light it on fire. :-)

Hate to do this to y'all, but OnStar has been carrying vehicle tracking capabilities on only one of a long list of available functionalities through their product line. They use it exactly for stolen vehicle recovery and routing assisstance (think MapQuest for your car).

The other features that they provide can be impressive.

As for the Big Brother problem of people being tracked by this type of unit. It doesn't happen. Sure their might be requests to give out the location on people, but they just don't do it. It's easier to tap a phone line or read someone's email than it is to track a vehicle.

One benefit was that since the my tripped spanned two weekends I was expecting to be completely bored. Instead, I got a few invitiations from local employees. One in which involved a stellar house party! Call me crazy, but if I would have been wearing a suit I don't think I would have gotten the invite. At least let's hope not ;)

Really, I think that Peculiar, MO may be most appropriate...

But if you visit Mangas, NM you might want to bring some air freshener.

Doesn't "Mangas" sound like something Crow, Tom Servo and Mike might have enjoyed?

Crow: Mike, have you ever had Mangas?

or Blueball, MD

...which should always be visited before Intercourse, PA.

A bit OT, I know, but appropriate for htis thread :)

Obviously, the town they should target is Freedom, OK

And it is right near Protection, KS.

Which just goes to show, you can have either Freedom or Protection, but not both.

1. The Big Dig won't actually be completed for another ten years.
2. It's tiny compared to New York. (Notice that all of boston could comfortably fit in a tiny portion of Manhatten.
3. The silicon valley still has better tech jobs.
4. What the hell is chowda? No I don't want to have some.
5. Yes, the Yankees suck, but so do the Red Sox.
6. Boston Drivers

Take a look at this map The Church of Scientology is on the corner of Bel-Red and 24th. The land in between is owned by a hospital (not affiliated with Microsoft.)

Need a conspiracy theory? Just south of 24th is Uwajimaya, the local Japanese grocery store. That can only mean one thing: Yes, Sony bought Microsoft! That's why they need modchips for the X-Box--they're turning it into the PS3!

Check out Point Roberts, WA to see an example of an outcome of treaty-making without good surveying. The outcome of the war of 1812 caused the Americans and British to firm up borders. Finally, in 1846 the border between the US and what is now British Columbia was established at 49 degrees North. Apparently they didn't realize Point Roberts would be an isolated outpost of the US!

Apparently the border markers along this part of the world were done with 1800's technology, and the generally accepted border in the area is about 300m too far north. So there is some strip of "Canadian" territory being "occupied" by Americans just south of Vancouver. This is an academic joke because both countries have since agreed that the border stands where the markers are. However, the State of Washington, until fairly recently, had officially defined the border as 49 degrees North, and a number of court cases for crimes committed in this 300m strip, notably illegal fishing just off-shore, were thrown out due to lack of jurisdiction!

In my father's home town of south royalton, i-89 (the only major interstate in VT) was built to not interfere with a particular landowner's property. He was told this by a childhood aquaintance, now working for as a Historian for the state, whose land got divided by the interstate.

The wearable offers you what you can't get out of a PDA. Instant access.

The PDA has an appointment book, but if you want to check it, you have to pull it out, open it up, turn it on, go to the appointment book, and then look at the days. This takes time. A wearable is already on, you just have to bring up the appointment book. The alaram feature reminds you when a meeting is going to happen. Your wearable could keep your next 2 appointments in view, and with GPS and access to MapQuest or something similar, could tell you about how long it would take, with approximations for traffic.

Pulling out your PDA and trying to take notes in Graffiti is painful - it's very hard to keep up with a conversation. But with a wearable, you can type instead of write. Bringing a keyboard may not be an option, but a Twiddler allows you to type quite quickly with one hand, far better than Graffiti, anyway.

Imagine access to financial reports at the meeting with the boss without a laptop. Imagine in-view access to directions as you look for a client's office. Imagine sending someone an e-mail when you remember to do it. Imagine updating your to-do list while on the phone on the subway, without fear of dropping something. Imagine making changes to the database while the meeting is going on. Imagine never worrying about forgetting the CD you burned becuase you have the data with you. Imagine never worrying about someone else using your computer and messing up your settings.

If none of these things interest you, how about: Imagine reading slashdot during the meeting. Imagine reading slashdot on the subway. Imagine looking for new jobs while during the new policy meeting. Imagine being able to correct people by getting actual data at your fingertips. Imagine watching the Simpsons while you stare at a monitor covered with Excel sheets. Imagine organizing your MP3 collection during business hours. Imagine EverQuest.

In related news, the Pentagon has revealed the location of the first test target.

Well, Albany is nicely located in NYS. Its also close enough to Canada that drawing people over the border to work there is feasible.

Add to that the fact that its not a terrible part of the country weather/climate wise. (We dont get earthquakes, typhoons, torrential flooding, mudslides, wildfires a-la the west, and damn few tornados) and you have a safe place for your busines.

As for tornados, I can remember over a dozen tornado warnings during the years I lived on Long Island, though I don't recall any of them destroying anything. However, the northeast is not immune: less than a year ago a tornado in Washington, DC picked up a car and smashed it into the trees in front of the dorm where I used to live, killing both passengers.

Economically, upstate NY is so dead the state government is lending credence to a man who wants to build a $2 billion mall in Syracuse (next to the large Carousel mall he built several years ago) simply so his grandchildren will have a reason to not flee New York. No one knows where the money's going to come from, but Gov. Pataki and the Post-Standard treat the proposal as though it's just a matter of time.

As a NY native, I recognize that New York isn't a bad place to live. But I posed the question because the article says the consortium didn't even negotiate with any other U.S. cities, whereas last time they talked to 36. I was hoping someone might have some insight into what makes Albany so much more important than the rest of the country that it would preclude the consortium from considering anyone else.

Albany sits on a pretty nice conjunction of Interstates running to NYC, Boston, Montreal & points west, not to mention the Taconic Parkway running to NYC via Armonk. The city may be dreary, but the countyside in every direction is quite fine, surrounded as it is by the Adirondacks (one of the largest parks in the country), the Catskills, and the Green Mountains of Vermont, so the second home and ski-ing opportunities are wide open. It's also a good distance from any terrorist target (unlike NYC and Boston), and it's not in Texas.

Get a clue, people. The crime is committed by the person who does the killing, not the people spreading info.

Now, if these people were offering incentives to kill the doctors, it'd be a different story. But theyr'e not, and if some twisted psycho kills one of these doctors, it's not the fault of the website operators.

Once again, you're placing blame for other people's actions on a third party, and punishing the third party. Kinda like abortion. Parents screwed up, so let's kill the kid. Everyone's happy, right?

Check this map to see our really wacked beltline. Notice the small "triangle" of freeway at the left side of the city between Raleigh and Cary. The uppor portion is the Wade Ave. Extension, which lets people going between north Raleigh and I-40 make the transition without going to the southwest corner of the beltline.

Now, if you look at the interchange marker right above the words "Piney Points" and to the left of "Caraleigh", you will see where our beltline meets itself at a 90 degree angle. At this point, if you are going southwest on the beltline you literally have to take a right hand turn onto a one-lane clover-leaf to get back onto the interstate. If you don't, you find yourself passing through Apex :) If you are on the southern portion of the beltline going west, you have the advantage of avoiding the clover-leaf design, but you still have a one-lane switch, or you find yourself headed north on I-40 until you reach the Wade Ave. Extension, where you head back west.

I've been here almost 2 years, and it took me a good 3 months to get used to that.
