Post a mapquest picture of your house

[/img]

EDIT: Stupid Mapquest.

It's the dark structure at the end of the line of trees near the centre: my parents' house. This would have to have been taken about ten years ago, AFAIK.

And how the fuck did you post yours directly as an image? That doesn't work for me, and as a link, the picture would move around.

Rob, I'm seeing my property in your images.

Hmmm...then my plan of conquest is complete!!! MUAHAHA!

Oh wait...that sucks. It shows up fine over here, anyhow. Lemme see what I can do.

This is my dorm building. It's in the rectangular building in the centre with the little house next to it (which has been demolished) and a parking lot along the side.

I've noticed that both times MapQuest totally fucked up on the location of the address. They had to be off by at least several hundred metres.

Again, I had to save this and put in on my GeoCities account for the fucking thing to work.

There are no pictures of either my house or my dorm building on MapQuest...strange.

SUCESS!

I do not exist on that database!

Revealing the location of your house on the Internet might not be the greatest idea.

This is hardly "revealing the location" of your house. I don't think anybody could trace this picture of your house, of which I might add isn't very detailed, to the state or city, OR adress of your house. Unless of course you were to give it away in your post, in which case.....

*loads toliet paper and eggs into trunk*

Well, I made sure that mine (at least my house: my dorm building could be considered more public) is close enough that you can't make out what road it's on.

Besides, the picture of my house is at least ten years old, as the driveway is still gravel and the workshop hasn't been built yet.

Geez Spanky, your place looks even more secluded from the air then it does driving to it.

How's this for secluded?




Cookie to those who can find my house!

Is it the big red X on the white square?

No kidding. Remember, Big Brother is watching you.

Call me crazy, but I trust people...

...I trust them to be too lazy to do anything with information such as an address.

Do something. I dare you. (not you, personally, DW...the impersonal 'you')

If you own a domain name, your home address is easy to find.

The survey mapguest uses for much of the country dates to 1992-93 IIRC. Some areas like NYC have been updated with much more recent pictures, they changed it within a few days of 9/11 to show the aftermath.

I'd imagine its the same for other big cities, aerial photos do have practical uses for city planning and that sort of thing.

As for those you who foolishly posted, PARTICLE BEAM CANNON READY FOR FIRING!

Thanks for the overheads, I'm loading the bombs right now.

To make things a little bit easier for aerial bombing I marked my house with a red dot (laser designator if you like ). Hit right there and you'll either put one down my chimney or through my bedroom.

"Orbital laser is targeded, sir!"

"Commence attack."



Sorry, couldn't resist.

Is it only available for US homes or does it have other countries too?

Wow, I would never do that. Ever. Evvvvvvvvvver.

Or contact address, or business address. There's no need to use your home address for your domain registration.

If you could paint your roof in a mix of high contrast colors to aid my Autonomous target recognition SLAM-ER's, or perhaps add an infrared beacon to help out the Gunships FLIR that would be nice.
