  1. Reverse engineering painter/photographer location on Ideas For Exploiting NASA's SRTM Data · · Score: 1

    We have no idea where many photographs were taken. Also, there are many old paintings with poor titles such as "Landscape at Dawn/Sunset".

    By scanning images with definable features (e.g. two hills, river in the foreground, somewhere in France), it shouldn't be that hard to exhaustively search the SRTM data for possible location matches- especially if individuals could enrich the scanned data by providing height or distance estimates?

  2. Deliberate. on Obama Helicopter Security Breached By File Sharing · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Funny how this should happen so recently after Obama and McCain publically agreed that the plan to replace the aging Marine One fleet should be cancelled...
