  1. Other solutions the group might want to consider on India Forms Expert Group on Google Earth Images · · Score: 2, Funny
    And I was thinking, why should Google go out of its way to blur the Indian buildings ? You want your buildings blurred ? I say build them blurred in the first place... !
    On the same note, here are other solutions the Indian experts might want to consider:

    • Cover your nuclear reactors with huge shades, paint them with clouds from below and trees from above.
    • Paint your airport buildings roofs with reflective paint (effective in daylight sweeps only !)
    • Create a "building cover" by sewing together thousands of car covers. Cover your governmental buildings before Google sweeps (need inside information here...), remove afterwards.
    • Place a huge magnifying glass over your atomic establishments (Risk involved).
    • Place a huge mirror over your submarine base, reflect the bastards.
    • Place a huge monitor over your Prime Minister's residences, facing the sky. Broadcast what a second satellite views just a few kilometers away.
    • Cover your police stations with small mountains.
    • Build your army bases over modular wheeled plates. Shift them around regularly.

    On a more serious note (?) Google should definitely have a "blur API" you can use to request to blur your buildings. What about painting a huge crossed "G" over required rooftops ?

  2. The Wales/Sanger Wars on Digital Universe a Wikipedia Alternative · · Score: 1

    I found it quite interesting to follow the latest Wales/Sanger wars, initially on real topics as the effectiveness of the Wiki model and deteriorating to Wiki-update wars on who really came with name Wikipedia... But the bottom line as I see it is simple - I hope that when these silly bashing cease, the general public will benefit from a new publicly available source of scientific/historical information. But as always, only time will tell. If you're interested, a summary of the latest Wales/Sanger wars is available here.
