Subject: Neat New Satellite Map Program
Date: Wed, 1 Jun 2005 00:38:02 EDT
From: ptownson@massis.lcs.mit.edu (TELECOM Digest Editor)
I have been using Google Maps when I wanted to locate places, etc but
when my brother was here over the holiday weekend he turned me on to
a _really neat_ service from a company called 'Keyhole', which I have
been told is being / has been acquired by Google.
It consists of streaming realtime video captured by satellites as they
fly around everywhere. I did not have the luck yet with it my brother
had, but get this: he put in his home address and zip code; we see the
'satellite' flying through the sky, closing in on _your house_ (or
whatever address you choose) and by changing the camera's 'zoom' and
its 'tilt' I actually saw a close up of his front door and a car on
the street in front of his house. I am still learning how to set the
focus, zoom and tilt controls, so I did not as of yet have a lot of
luck with my house, but I did do pretty well focusing in on the Arco
Building downtown; the tallest building in our town is six stories.
You want to go to a different location, anywhere in the world ... no
problem; just tell the program the zip or post code desired, addresses
as known, and we see the 'satellite' zoom off a few miles into space.
with camera still running; when it reaches the new destination, the
focus/zoom/tilt changes to the default values and you work on it from
there.
Two caveats: You have to load the software you get on line from 'Keyhole',
the software is specific to your _Windows_ 9x or XP machine, and you
must have certain Direct X drivers installed. Also, you have to set the
screen size to at least 1024x768 I think. The installation got a
little bit technical for me, and I am not sure yet I have the best
versions of Direct X installed. It also helps if you have a very fast
internet connection. Well, you can look up 'Keyhole' on Google, and
read through the detailed instructions for installation and operation.
The instructions say if you do not have the right Direct X or the
proper size and resolution you will only get 'black objects' on your
screen (where the house or whatever should be).
Another caveat: _its not free_ . The version called Keyhole PRO costs
several hundred dollars, but the more limited version for home use is
about forty or fifty dollars, and you don't own it, you 'license' it,
but anyone can have a 'license' who has a credit card and enough credit
to pay out the forty or fifty dollars. I accidentally downloaded the
'Keyhole PRO' version first; it scolded me and said "this is the
version for use in companies, etc _do you really want that much_?"
So I backed out of the installation and chose 'Keyhole LT'
instead. You get a free trial period but during that time, a message
is stamped across the .jpg image output saying 'trial demo version'
or something to that effect. These are just one time fees, not
recurring or anything like that.
There is also a nag screen each time you log in, asking 'do you want
to buy it now?' I just click 'continue' and go on with my testing of
addresses, etc. I would really recommend you try it first, some of
the camera controls get very tricky and take very nimble fingers to
correctly operate; there are 'pan' and 'tilt' and 'focus', and arrows
to drag around on the screen image, which move your view to
wherever. But it seems quite an improvement over the satellite images
Google has been using for their 'maps' feature, being able to see the
front door of your house and your car on the street in front of the
house. The 'pan/zoom' control for example allows you to be twenty
or so miles out in space and close in to as little as 35 feet away
from the object under scrutiny if you wish (as long as you know how
to properly focus the camera, etc.)
They also have a BBS for questions and answers from the experts who
know about those thing better than I. If you decide to try it (either
for the free trial period or you actually spring for the forty or
fifty dollars to buy your 'license' to ride in the satellite with
your camera, let me know how you like it. I am finding it very
interesting, although difficult for a diseased brain to comprehend. I
have to stick to looking at giant skycrapers in Chicago right now.
Oh, and any image you find that you like, you can 'bookmark' it and
go back to it without having to always re-adjust the camera controls.

IBM card punch codes (commercial set) had a character that was a
square (with somewhat squashed sides) that evolved, IIRC into the
current # code, so there is some precedent for this.

I have a couple of H-89/90 CP/M systems stashed away in a cupboard.
If I recall correctly, the terminal section within these is identical

Many of the headquarters functions remained in Topeka.
The Ottawa cut-off took Topeka off the main line. Even before that,
the line from Atchison to Topeka was of much reduced importance, and
the railroad had been extended to Kansas City. The Santa Fe,
originally a Kansas promotion, did not terminate in Santa Fe and but
built on to Albuquerque and Los Angeles. Santa Fe was served by a
branch line.
The reason the Santa Fe's line between Kansas City and Chicago is the
lowest-mileage route and the most nearly direct is because it was
built as a line to connect Kansas City and the rest of the system with
Chicago, not especially to serve local points between.

"Not exactly" applies.
La Salle station (as the name at least), a rebuilt, greatly reduced
facility, still exists, and has commuter service (only) running out of
it. Tracks terminate a bit south of Congress Ave.
'Central Station' also nominally still exists; in use by electrified
inter-urban (Illinois & South Shore Rwy) to Gary-Hammond.
All long-distance passenger rail (AMTRAK) is out of Union station,
With commuter rail out of Union and Northwestern stations, as well as
the aforementioned La Salle and Central stations.
[TELECOM Digest Editor's Note: Begging pardon, sir. I was talking
about _inter-city_ rail traffic, not a commuter line. Furthermore, the
physical platform approximatly at Roosevelt and Michigan Avenue is
known by the suburban trains -- the only ones going through there now --
as 'Roosevelt Road', not as 'Central Station'. The Central Station
building was torn down several years ago. PAT]

Niagara Mohawk ceased production of 25 cycle when the Schoellkopf
Power Station, predecessor to the Niagara Power project, literally
fell into the Niagara gorge. That was June 7,1956. Three - 70,000
horsepower and three - 32,500 horsepower generators, mostly 25 cycle
were dumped into the Niagara River.
It was more cost-effective, due to the relatively low demand, to buy
25 Hz from Canadian Niagara than to build facilities to produce it.
As of five years ago, Niagara Mohawk was still buying 25 Hz power from
Canada and maintained a distribution grid in Buffalo. The NY Public
Service Commission was allowing them to phase out the offering of 25
Hz. They were allowed to divide any costs associated with offering
and maintaining 25 Hz service among the handful of remaining
users. This was to be a disincentive to continued use of 25
cycle. They were also offering incentives for the users to retrofit
their equipment to operate on 60 Hz.
I was working for a company that still had 25 Hz elevators and an
ancient meter and panel. I was attending meetings with Niagara Mohawk
to negotiate incentives to change to 60 Hz.
Again, this is 5 years ago. At the time there were a couple of scrap
dealers, several businesses with 25 Hz elevators, a large frozen food
facility, and a major producer of cereal products still using 25 Hz.

Last month my ear piece jack went out, the phone was less then a year
old and I do carry the replacement insurance on it, but in my case it
made no difference. They replaced my phone no questions asked, the
tech reprogrammed my phone directory; which they do, but he also moved
all my ring tones and other stuff from the phones browser. I had
little trouble with them when the phones went bad, but moved when the
merger went through because I had had major problems with GTE
Moblenet, and at the time I was with GTE California. I got so made at
them, I told the rep I was talking to, I wanted to speak to the
President of the company, what was strange is they transfered me and
was talking to him.
I told him my problem and he fixed it, but I still dumped the service.

Any unlocked GSM phone (or Cingular-locked GSM phone for that matter)
should work with your SIM.
By "locked," I mean that most US cellular companies sell phones that
are configured to work ONLY on their network. The reason is that
often, they have sold the phone to the customer at a loss, and to
recoup that loss, they lock the phone to guarantee that they get all
the revenue from using that phone.
An "unlocked" GSM phone doesn't have this restriction, and will work
with any GSM network, with any valid SIM. But generally, they're not
cheap.
Hopefully your SIM wasn't water damaged!

Gee. Shouldn't they also ban all other forms of communication? I'd
think any media could be used for the same offensive stuff and trigger
