I just downloaded Google Earth and even I was shocked at the
utter and complete loss of physical privacy. It's gone, none,
that's it.

The resolution on the free package isn't enough to ID a car --
but you know damn well that they didn't put those satellites
up there without it! I don't think the local DMV is using it
to count the cars in your backyard, but I'd be shocked if it
doesn't happen eventually.


It would be nice if I could detect make and model, as it would
save me the trouble of actually drivin to U Pull Parts in Sun
Valley to see what they have in the yard! I can count the cars,
and see their colors, and I might be able to guess pick'm'up
vs. gremlin, but not much else.



The point of this: If you think there may be some old cars at
some
address, get google earth or use maps.google.com and go look!
