has google gone nuts?

Oh dear. Is google groups soon for that list?

Google Earth just broke on my Win7 PC. It says some system thing is missing and to reinstall. Reinstalled, same problem.

There is a web-based version, apparently a beta, but for some reason they deleted altitudes.

I wish people would quit breaking things.

Took a hike:

Well, I like rocks. I grew up in the flatlands of Louisiana, where we assumed that rocks came down in barges on the Mississippi River from rock factories.

I don't know. It's not among the 203.

Google Groups (formerly DejaNews) has one major deficiency which may cause problems. Reading messages with Google Groups does to display any advertising or generate revenue for Google. One might suspect that this deficiency might be sufficient to justify discontinuing the service, but that doesn't seem to be what is happening. Instead, Google has expanded Group to include email lists, web forums, Q&A forums, and a collaborative inbox. I have no idea why Usenet has survived without generating any revenue for Google.

I'm using Windoze 7 on this machine and Google Earth Pro 7.3.3.7699 (64-bit) works just fine. If you're not using the Pro version, then it's time to install it. It's free: or: If not, the exact error message would be a big help.

There is much more than altitude that was deleted, errr... simplified in the web based version.

If the industry did everything correctly, I would be out of business.

Tissue paper.

Some people are hoarding it.

Buy gold:

There is your inflation indicator!

I don't mind a little inflation. I sold the last of my Tesla stock the other day and realized a 488% return after a bit over a year and an average return on all the Tesla stock I traded of 220%. Making 25% on Gold can suck my balls!

That is exactly why the gold price keeps going up, _demand_. If you look back for my postings in this group you will see my recommendation to buy gold several times last year.

Finance is a bit of magic, alchemy. Long time ago as I knew nothing about it I decided to get some education and follow a course. Finished it successfully and then thought: "Hey I can do all this by writing some software." Option trading seemed interesting, large potential to make lots of money fast, so I wrote xkra:

But having experienced many teachers in my life, I thought: "I want to learn from the most successful, not from the pennies makers." The best one in those days was (maybe still is?) George Soros, So I bought his book: "The Alchemy of Finance" The word 'Alchemy" is interesting in this context. As with all things I tried, when it worked I sort of lost interest and moved to the next subject. But the know-how is there. In Soros book you see the connection between politics and markets. 'The markets are always wrong' . Then I bought the next book, one on futures by some prof but never finished it, I think he was not rich.

Anyways, where will it go? Just did view a documentary on US spy satellites... better not type osama^H^H^H^H^H This is interesting too:

Anyways, as my (back to tronics) Mastech AC DC clamp-on current meter sort of died after it was dropped and it is full of bad lead free soldering, and no circuit diagram I decided to take a picture of its LSI chip: very interesting, found the datasheet ES51969.pdf with google, almost a complete meter on a chip... So maybe later I will have a go and see what is broken.... At least I now know what should be one each of the 100 pins of that chip.... Repairing it is more fun than just buying a new one :-)

Yes Tesla is amazing, and him bringing people to the ISS is neat too!

Found the problem. Earth couldn't find some dll, so I deleted some c runtime stuff and ran a Windows update to repair things.

Just followed some directions on Youtube.

The Chinese people can only do what the the communist CCP government lets them do. Google and most outside internet resources are blocked and banned from the Chinee people.

I think that Google did whatever the could to have their name at least visible in China
