You obviously know nothing about maps or data. GMaps is a mapping product. OSM is a data storehouse. It has a minimal map structure to facilitate editing data. The idea behind OSM is to provide data which we can freely use to make our own maps. If you need to see examples of pretty maps made with OSM data, just look at Mapbox (https://www.mapbox.com/tour/).
They compared the flora to the period of the manuscript's assumed appearance - about a century after contact. Knowledge travels fast (as do people). The manuscript could have been written anywhere Europeans had gotten themselves into.
And we're talking the height of the Age of Exploration here.
Actually, science has been pretty clear about this. If there is any question, it's not whether global warming exists but whether humans are responsible for it.
What's really happening is that global warming - like evolution - is no longer a scientific argument, but a political one. These questions are no longer being asked in the arenas of logic and reason. In those arenas the questions have already been answered. In the political arena, however, "science" isn't governed by logic and reason.
About half of the American public currently thinks Snowden should be locked up. If he had taken responsibility for his actions at the outset he would have received overwhelming popular support. America loves rebels and whistle-blowers, but cowards are another matter.
I think Snowden blew his chance to affect positive change when he ran away.

Whatever point you were trying to make failed in the delivery. Check your links.
You're jumping to unwarranted conclusions. OSM usually has better detailed and more accurate data than Google Maps. Don't take my word for it, though - look for yourself: OSM: http://www.openstreetmap.org/#... GMaps: https://www.google.com/maps/pr... OSM: http://www.openstreetmap.org/#...

you might, GASP, just have to run a wire to it.
Screw you. I have put a great deal of time, energy and money into liberating myself from wire. I'm never going back.
Just Snowden's sad attempts to be relevant.

we could just treat code as though it were code.

because it's cold at my house.
There's a difference between privacy and anonymity. Get a dictionary.
Can't value it too much - you're connected to the Internet.
we can't trust our government.
If you don't like it, don't use any Google services. Problem solved.
I'll give you 50 bonus points for not quoting Franklin. I'll also subtract 100 points because you're an idiot.
Total points: -50
Google has always been in the data business. Putting sensors into our homes fits perfectly into that business model.
Just to learn that there's a place called Embarrass, Minnesota.

Unjust laws don't get changed by running away from them. Look at the American Civil Rights Movement.
releasing the information he has released doesn't count as that
Not your decision to make.
It's not logic. It's cause and affect. Break the law, pay the price.
Wrong. All adult human beings should take responsibility for their own actions.
I agree. But doing the right thing does not absolve one of taking responsibility for one's actions.
He may be a hero. He's definitely a traitor. If he's really the former, he needs to take personal responsibility for the latter.
Bill Nye: Show me scientific evidence of Creationism.
Ken Ham: Show me Scriptural evidence of evolution.
Debate over. Everyone loses.
