What is the point in this Google Earth?
I can;t see any logic in it.
Why don't you just get a map out or even better a Globe? |

because google earth can show you the different buildings, so instead of looking at a map, and looking at somthin inporportinate (spelling) to what the real thing is, you can look at somthing that is actually real... so if you were to give instructions to a wife who was going to someones house for a job interview, you could say "Ok, your on alhambra, turn left on franklin blvd then turn into the second court going in on your left, and once you get in, on the left side, count down 4 houses and hers is the 5th house.." i think thats allot better and easier than looking at somthing that was just drawn up

GOogle Earth is like a huge real picture. In a globe or a map you dont actually see the buildings, all you see is roads and lines. Besides, not everybody has a globe. I bet that there are more people that have a computer than those that have a globe.

Yeah, i don't have globe. i think the point of Google Earth is just that it's new, and new things always have potential to develop into things you can't even imagine living without. Maybe there will come a time, when a point for Google Earth is found, until then, i guess it just looks cool.

Dad works in engineering, so if he goes on a site visit, and forgets to measure something, as long as he knows a dimension of something visible in that area, he can do the measurement. It saves him quite abit of time, but it does only work in areas where the detail is high.

What's The Difference Between 64 And 32 Bit?
Buying a new computer. (9) Hey everyone! I'm going to be buying a new laptop in a few months, and I am very confused
about one thing: AMD manufactures a LOT of 64 bit processors, while Intel almost never does.
I'm clueless when it comes to processors, and I'm concerned because I haven't really
been paying attention to processor specs as much as HD and RAM, even though those are the cheapest
and easiest to switch. Does anyone have any good tips about processors? I'm mainly wondering
what the difference between 64 bit and 32 bit is, but other than that I also want to know i....

Starcraft
What's you view? (10) Starcraft, some people hate it, some people love it, some people don’t give a damn. But I’m just
wondering, what’s your opinion about this game? What do you think has led this game to become so
big, why do you keep playing it? What keeps you hooked onto this game, I probably won’t get a
straightforward answer, but lately I’ve been thinking a lot about this and I want to see what you

Sonic And Mega Collection Plus
Anyone played this and whats your opinon on Sonic and Mega Collection (4) Ok, I love sonic, ever since I started to play games, sonic was there to play ever since i was

saw that Sonic Mega Collection Plus was coming out for PS2 I was really glad, Sonic Mega Collection

What's The Name Of This Game?
SNES, Sidescroller (7) I can't find the title of this Robot game I once rented, which had great play in the story or
multiplayer mode. In multiplayer, you chose from a couple different bots, the most memorable rolled
along as a ball, then would pop open in order to fire. A KEY* aspect was that you could leave your
robot, as about a 5 pixel person, who had a little pistol to kill other little humans, and fly
around and find another, vacant bot and assume control of it. In story mode, I never got very far,
but remember that the first level of story mode had you infiltrating a giant space shi....
Php Include Root Ref
whats the root? (6) Every one knows that we can include files in our site, so we have a folder with 2 files, an

relative reference for it, so we will always put include("/files/menu.php") and it will always work
wherever that file is (the file calling the include). Ive had troubles with this, as it doesnt seem
to be working, i have to change to the dot notation (like ../../../../../files/menu.php) in order to
keep my includes right. Does any one know what the root is for the include or how can ....

What's Your Favourite Car?
(147) The question is very simple: what's your favourite car? It includes suvs, vans, pickups and
veicles similar to these. In my opinion the best and beautiful car is the Bentley Continental Flying
Spur, I like very much all Bentley and generally english cars, but I think that the Flying Spur is a
masterpiece fo the motor industry. And it's price is "only" 175000€ without optionals. Aniway
very beautiful cars are also Ferrari 612 Scaglietti, BMW M5, Aston Martin DB9 and Range Rover. I

What's Your Favourite Book? Why?
A small investigation about most popular books (94) The question is very simple, what is your favourite boook? And why? I have also added a small pool
about how many books do you read each year. Anyway my favourite is L.A. Confidential written by
James Ellroy. It's a very good police story with a intriguing plot, but it's also a
masterpiece of politic and social analize. The power games of institutions, the corruption that have
attacked police and government and the general undeground atmosphere are the pillars fo this
beautiful book. It isn't a simply police book, but a fresco of a society and of a period of ....
