I have a question about Google earth.

I have a Pentium 4 3.0Ghz. 2GB Ram, 160Gb Hard drive, and all the monitor space anyone could ever want. If I download google earth is it going to run on my system without bogging it down a lot? It looks really cool, and I want to get it.

I've got a P4-2.4Mhz, with 1.5GB's of ram and a pretty decent video card. It works fairly well. You shouldn't have much problem, unless your internet connection is very slow. It loads all the imagery on the fly, as you move about and zoom in/out, so that can slow things down a bit if you're scrolling all over he place. Otherwise, it should do well.

It really IS a LOT of fun. I've sat for HOURS at times, just looking all over for cool US Ships and places back home.

Definitely worth the download !

Your screenshot-fu is very fucking weak.

After you paste the image into Paint, try resizing it so you don't waste space with the white area, task bar, etc.

Also, ALT+PrintScr will copy only the active window to the clipboard, by the way.

Little pissy today, are we ?

Ever heard of this HAARP some people think it's like weather warfare, it is a joint excersize with the USAF, and some Alaskan university. only half the pic turned out. Google HAARP, and learn more.

There is all sorts of fun stuff going on there. I am glad its blurry.

I was there for a few months guarding a sub RFDF with FAST.

There have been some changes in D.C. lately:

White House no longer has a uniform pink roof:

Capitol is no longer pixellated:

Cheney's pad still is, though:

And finally, something I noticed in The Hague. Check out the funky stained glass effect over the Queen's Palace:

Seriously guys... stop screwing around on the insignificant intel with Google Earth.

Do your civic duty and get the rest of my American brethren some pics of Jessica Simpson sunbathing nude. Hell, I'll even take pics of her sister.

Truly, some of you guys may have careers with some alphabet soup .gov entities with all of your spy capabilities and time. Mostly time.

Any live action pics of any bombs or other ordinance going off in war zones? I have no idea how this Google Earth gizmo works, I'm not too techy.

LPH- Landing Platform Helicopter. Amphibious Assault ship but no well deck just a flight deck.

The Command Ships Mt Whitney and Blue Ridge were built on this platform but have antennas where the flight deck is. Except for a small helo spot.

Used to drive by this tank every time I made a trip to Fayetteville, but since 9/11 the bridge has been "out" and the road closed. Always made for an interesting drive.

Not all the photos were taken at the same time, Paul. Some images on Google Earth are over 20 years old (or so I've been told). Some are nearly brand new. Better resolution ones are the newer ones.

Here is one for you.

Saw this on another thread. Chinese Military Base

I got curious so I thought I would look the area over.

Here is what I found:

Go north a few miles until you see Yinchuan AB.
This is a Chinese Air Base with a road leading to the mountains west of the base.
It appears to be some kind of underground storage facility off of the air base.
Nuclear Storage perhaps, Missles ?

Here is a better pic of the storage entrance:

Then go a couple miles south along the main road and what do I see ?
Is this a Nuclear Plant ?

Then, go a couple of miles east and walla !
Is this yet another Nuclear Plant ?
You guys tell me.

What do you all think ?

That IMO is a taxiway/alternate runway that is leading to aircraft shelters built into the mountain.

Acually Those look like coal plants to me...

nuke plants don't have smoke stacks... the places pictured do.

both nuke and coal plants have condensing towers though like those in the pics.
