Just had to post this....

32° 9'22.89"N 110°50'0.03"W

Lot of planes, lots and lots of planes.

This may be slightly off topic but it has to do with google and doesn't warrant a new topic.

Has anyone here who uses googles jee mail noticed an increase in the allowed attachment size?
It used to be 10MB but I have just recieved and then sent an attachment of 14MB.

Just curious because I haven't seen or heard it mentioned anywhere

I know that they're slowly increasing all the storage for Gmail - it used to be a gig, then 2 gig, and now it just grows with time. Perhaps the same is true of attachments?


I dont use Google Earth - I just use Google Maps -

I think is where you mean -it's an amazing place. I saw a documentary by Jeremy Clarkson about it once - trashing B52's with concrete blocks. Hundreds of Harriers, F15's, 16's - just about anything you'd want - enough to arm an entire nation... - go down and right a little from that link - and you can see B52's - Unbroken and Broken in rows.

This place amazes me as well

Quite possible, I guess they might not publicise it immediately so as to be sure
their systems wouldn't be badly impacted by the upped limit.

I guess giving people 2.6 GB++ and an attachment size of 10MB can't last

That's it alright. I think I saw that with Clarkson too.
I love the way they are all so neatly arranged.
The amount of money just parked there waiting to be scrapped must be phenomenal.

I still prefer google earth, it has updated imagery compared with google maps, espeicially over Dublin.

Didnt know it was more up to date - also didnt know it was 3d

I'm getting it now

Oh man, you're missing out without Google Earth. A little bit north from your link and with terrain maps turned on, in 3d it would give you a view like this:

(that's Sedan Crater, the biggest above-ground nuke test crater)

I'm waiting for the OS X version...

Unfortunately the maps are different resolutions in different places. Urban/suburban locations in the US seem to be covered at really high res. In my own backyard, I can identify the objects on my patio, as well as the make and model of cars on the streets.

Barringer Crater in Arizona is a real disappointment though, as that area is imaged at low res. But Mt. St. Helens and the Grand Canyon are a real treat. The perspective control tool that allows you to tilt the view and see the landscape beyond is just fantastic.

Hum,
Here is a strewnfield of craters around Lake Chiemsee, in south-east Bavaria, that may have been caused by fragments of a huge comet that broke up in the Earth’s atmosphere.

Evidence from ancient tree rings and Roman reports of “stones falling from the sky”, has led researchers to conclude that the impact happened in about 200BC.

IMAGE (117kb, 798 x 572)
47.8° to 48.4° N and 12.3° to 13.0° E

The crater field was uncovered after amateur archaeologists working in the area found pieces of metal containing unusual minerals.
More than 80 craters were found in an elliptical area 36 miles long and 17 wide, ranging in size from 10 to 1,215 feet across. The largest, filled with water, now formed Lake Tuttensee.

Around the site the team found clues that suggested an impact from space, including rock heated into glass and minerals associated with meteorites.
The most likely cause was a low-density comet, 1.1 kilometres wide, that broke up at an altitude of 43 miles and fell in pieces to Earth.

"[i]The main mass of the projectile struck the ground at 2,200 miles per hour, releasing an amount of energy equivalent to 106 million tons of TNT/i]"

Er, or not.


Hum,
i cant seem to attach my Lake_Chiemsee_strewnfield.kmz file...

THE MAC VERSION IS HERE!!!!!

Sorry, er, uh, didn't mean to shout. And just in time for the intel based macs as well.

Now if we could only get Half Life ported.

I think thats plausible - the help pages still list the 10MB maximum message size. I'll have to test the limit again now

Taken from an Airplane ? No I believe it are Satellite photos ...
Why?
Well guys & girls ... go and take a look in MICHIGAN at coordinates below ... I was wondering what is parked there in the grass ?
But it's way above the grass

42° 18' 51 North 83° 12' 23 West
Google Earth is amazing !

Agree, Google Earth is wonderful!!!
About this airplane flyng over Ford buildings, I'm not sure this is a conclusive proof of satellitar image origin, because if this airplane is not too high, picture can be taken from another airplane flyng over!
I'm telling this because resolved details here are so small (peraphs, 20-30cm - look to the cars and to the trees shadows) while, in my knowledge, the images from civilian satellite shouldn't go below 60cm res! (unless MRO entered in Earth orbit ).

You remember the old rumors about spy satellites being able to read license plates and know what you are eating at an outdoor picnic.
