They call the USA locate number and have it marked on the ground. We use GPS for our Telephone system data collection, we've always tried for sub-meter accuracy (Some places it's better, some places it's worse.) Overall the data is very very close to reality, but not so close that we still don't send locator technicians out when someone wants to dig.
I also agree with the ruling, if the state/county/feds did it, they used taxpayer money to collect the data and build the GIS. And there are tools available that would allow the censorship of the publicly displayed data by simply not allowing that layer to be viewed by John Q. Public.
I just have a garden hose running through the window...whenever I think the computer might be getting hot I hose it down. It doesn't seem to complicated or expensive...and nothing says stylish like a garden hose running through your window.

NO. If the site was up I'd link you to the comic about stealing money from the people gabe kills to buy xbox 360s. Crazy AWESOME.

Now, why isn't there some big news story about how bit torrent is being used legally to distribute free software? So frustrating.
