i've measured and photographed lots of buildings that are important for americans - in florida.
so i'm suspicious for mapping supermarkets on openstreetmap.

the coverage on /. has been absurdly high.
"they will announce something soon !"
"they will announce printable gun !"
"they will announce printable gun today !"
"THEY ANNOUNCE PRINTABLE GUN !"
"they actually reveal printable gun !"

is slashdot involved or just getting abused ? just a bit... too much.

would be great if you could find an instance of such a disappearance of your changes - it should be easy to find out what and why happened

osm history viewer is quite nice, although fairly cumbersome to use at this time : http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_History_Viewer

what about http://krita.org/ ?
i've only played with it a bit and my image editing needs are very basic anyway, but it would be interesting to see it compared to gimp for professional use

there are various routing and similar applications. maybe you can find something you like at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Software

come to osm ;)
we now also have a new javascript based editor in beta, if you don't want to use something more heavy - http://openstreetmap.us/iD/release

are you the one who created waze or just trolling ? :)
you can actually get all openstreetmap data. all of it. for free.
openstreetmap has much better coverage.

the only thing waze offers on top of osm is the mobile application... which would be great to see somebody build on top of osm, of course :)

as others have noted, but to make it perfectly clear...

waze is not using osm data.
waze is not contributing to osm data.
if you contribute to waze, it goes in a closed, proprietary database that you are not allowed to use (or even obtain).

with osm, you get all the resulting dataset for free to be used for any purpose.

waze is not based on osm. waze is based on people, who want to work for a company for free ;)

same here. when looking for a laptop, "matte" screen is a mandatory thing (one of a few)

this event was about mismanaging a facility (most likely), so there is a technical angle.
also, openstreetmap volunteers are mapping that region already - give a hand :)

wouldn't lifting weight be a risk to child bearing ability ?
as we are still dependent on it, there is an evolutionary pressure to save/shield women from anything that prevents them from furthering the race.
