google earth makes me happy in my eyes

[Beano's Fourth Chin]

zooming through the grand canyon with terrain turned on is breath taking.

it even has my uncle's house in the suburbs of Paris, France.

How cool is this program?

[Mjcpr]

I was told there were no more houses in Paris.

I just wish so much cool stuff wasn't masked off.

Not much visible in downtown NYC, DC, etc.

Put in 1600 Pennsylvania Ave, Washington DC and you'll see what I mean.

[Norm In Norman]

Downloads suspended. i didn't even know what it is.

[Beano's Fourth Chin]

Still pretty cool. It's got the white house built into the 3d buildings part. Who cares if I can't see the roof?

[SoonerWood]

I'm over Paris and I don't see a 'Launch All Weapons' key. Where is it?

[Beano's Fourth Chin]

Looks like there were guys on the field. Too bad it wasn't game day.

[Norm In Norman]

OK, someone give me an alternate link.

[Veritas]

Anybody care to share the executable?

[Beano's Fourth Chin]

working on it. Upload will complete in 4 mintues.

[GrapevineSooner]

You said that 11 minutes ago. :D

[sooner_born_1960]

Yes. We're waiting.

[Veritas]

Won't do you any good. They've disabled all new account activations temporarily. I installed it successfully and received an error message, did some digging, and that's the score. :(

[sooner_born_1960]

What kind of account. I already have two accounts with google.

[Veritas]

A specific Google Earth/Keyhole account.

[Beano's Fourth Chin]

Yeah, I had it for about 2 days before it finally let me in last night. I didn't realize that that was the issue.

Sucks to be you guys.

[Mjcpr]

Just post some cool pics for us.

[Veritas]

Yeah. I wanna see Memorial Stadium in Lincoln (read: I'm curious to see what smartass efforts that request draws :D ).

[Beano's Fourth Chin]

Any requests?

[Mjcpr]

Husker stadium?

[Veritas]

Husker stadium?
Further proof that I'm a fockturd. :D

[Mjcpr]

I thought it was Memorial Stadium or some such?

[OUDoc]

Husker stadium?
I thought that was the University of Washington's stadium.

[Beano's Fourth Chin]

seriously, guys, the still images don't do this thing justice. The zooming from one place to another or moving around inside the map is what makes it so cool.

[Veritas]

SWEET! I work about where the "34" sign is. Thanks Beano.

[Beano's Fourth Chin]

http://www.bfcfgof.com/fark/veritas.jpg

[Mjcpr]

Go outside and hold up a sign and we'll see if we can see you.

Do it!

[Widescreen]

I heard their Google Galaxy is in danger of slipping its beta release date.

That company scares me more than any other...

[Beano's Fourth Chin]

You guys have interstates that just dead end in Nebraska? Whoa.

[Red October]

3505 N. Sheridan Rd. Tulsa, OK, 74115

Heh. That's 180, the spur off I-80 that goes between Memorial and Haymarket (the baseball diamond). It turns into a 4 lane one way. I drive it home every day. :D

Ok, I'm going to go hold a sign up. It says "ASSCRACKER." I'm totally high from marker fumes.

K, BRB.

[Mjcpr]

I drive it home every day. :D
Yeah Mr. Newlywed, that won't last forever.

[SicEmBaylor]

I wouldn't mind seeing a pic of The Case in Waco.

[SoonerWood]

So I go outside with the laptop and look down on myself from this Google Earth and see myself looking up at myself and I got all confused.

[TopDawg]

seriously, guys, the still images don't do this thing justice. The zooming from one place to another or moving around inside the map is what makes it so cool.

Yeah, so far it doesn't look much different than google maps. I wanna do the other cool stuff you're talkin about.

[TopDawg]

I-180
Not a thru street

Isn't there a Far Side cartoon about the middle of nowhere being in Nebraska? Or maybe it's something about being where the sun don't shine. Somethin like that.

[OUDoc]

Beano-
You took your home address out of that capture. :(

[Veritas]

Probably so. I think Kansas is worse though. I hate that drive down through Salina/Wichita along 35/135. Whole state looks the same.

Yeah...part of Iowa are pretty mind-numbing too. But western Oklahoma and Texas can also be like that. I was just saying that if interstates really do just dead end in Nebraska, maybe Gary Larson was on to something.

Yes, yes he was. :D

[Rhino]

Look up where King Kong was buried.

[jk the sooner fan]

i drove from wichita to salina in the middle of the nite, in bad need of finding a gas station......i've never felt so "out in the middle of nowhere" as i did on that stretch of road

[silverwheels]

My family went through Kansas to Kansas City for the 2000 Big XII Championship. I don't know how people live there. It's so boring.

[Penguin]

Can you find my keys for me?

[TopDawg]

Can you find my keys for me?

heh

[Ike]

beano, the high-rise at fermilab, right across from the reflecting pond?

[Soonerpsycho]

Tell me if this works...

http://dl2.rapidshare.de/files/2681843/26296661/GoogleEarth.exe

[Beano's Fourth Chin]

There's so much water, I couldn't really figure out which one was the reflecting pond, but I kinda figured out which was the highrise.

Second one is cool. You can see chicago in the distance.

I couldn't find the sculpture three legged thing. Where is that, Ike?

the three legged sculpture is at the main entrance, to the east of the highrise (quarter to half mile...on the second picture, near the "fork" towards the bottom)


also, I wonder if downtown batavia along the fox river looks good.

dammit, they need to let me download it!!!

[Beano's Fourth Chin]

I just found out that you can make user comments.

That means that you can tag a location on the planet and then share comments about that location with everyone else that has google earth. There are quite a few user comments in the area around Ground Zero in NYC.

This might be the best program ever invented.

[Sooner_Bob]

Tell me if this works...

http://dl2.rapidshare.de/files/2681843/26296661/GoogleEarth.exe


The download works, but in order to connect you have to upgrade and include a license key.

[StoopTroup]

Las Vegas

Grand Lake

OKC

Tulsa

Branson

Reno / Tahoe

Los Angeles

[Veritas]

FYI, I was able to get logged in and use the software, so if you were unable yesterday you might have luck now. Peem me if you need a copy and I'll send you an FTP link to my server.

How do you do this Beano? Do you have to have Google Earth Plus?
:confused:

[Norm In Norman]

This IS pretty cool. In the sat image, it shows the kid accross the street's car out on the street. He leaves it on the street and I always have to avoid hitting it and everyone that parks in my driveway complains about it.

Its the 4th. Perhaps a wayward roman candle fireball might, sheerly by accident of course, find its way past the gas cap and into the tank. :D

Google Earth downloads temporarily delayed

Thanks for your interest in Google Earth, but we're sorry we can't offer you a download right now. As you know, Google Earth is in beta, and we're still building out our ability to take on new users. We're making good progress, and expect to be able to accept new downloads shortly, so we recommend you check back daily at earth.google.com. We hope to be able to welcome you and other new planet surfers soon.

We appreciate your patience,

I noticed that hasn't been updated as recently as Google Earth. Memorial Stadium doesn't have the East Side Upper Deck.

Score one for Google Earth. :D
