Add in the higher quality geotagged images (~70m) from panoramio they could certainly build some nice models.

They do a great job. We host one of the centers at the local firehouse and it's kept pretty busy.

As an EMT who has attended a number of MVAs I don't need no black box to help me determine whether there was a significant mechanism of injury. I'm certainly not going to be spending time fannying about trying to read out the black box when I have patients who need my help right now.

I'm sufficiently well trained to determine for myself whether someone requires treatment and I don't see how information from a black box is going to "facilitate" the limited treatments I am permitted to perform as an EMT-B.

That said, if law enforcement can retrieve info like speed, accelerations etc and transmit that to the receiving facility I can see the utility.

Seems the air force will deliberately shine lasers at aircraft when it suits them. Only when they do it "the lasers are harmless" http://articles.cnn.com/2005-04-15/tech/laser.warn_1_laser-beams-ground-based-lasers-airspace?_s=PM:TECH

I can't believe how little protest the remote attestation aspect has generated. From TFA: "To prove a client is healthy, the anti-malware software can quote TPM measurements to a remote verifier."

How long before that becomes "The XYZ software can attest that only trusted software components are running." Big content are going to love this capability.

I'm one of the resident aliens in Green Bank and I confine my probing to the chickens on the grill at our volunteer fire departments annual cookout.

Hammers and floodlights! Foamy is spot on. http://www.youtube.com/v/_GjVy2pMZiY&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999

Thanks :) I should state I am NOT one of the gurus but I do know some of them.

Older and newer UIDs are involved in the project as well :)

I ran into a speed camera set up in Spain that is very effective. If someone passes the sensor at excess speed a traffic light further up the road turns red for a time. The disapproval of the other drivers who are inconvenienced seems quite a powerful corrective.
