Are you sure that was a satellite? What is the information on the image? Which satellite? What date was the image shot?

Gee your Honor, I don't recall stating it was taken from a satellite. I wrote it was from space. A definition of space can be the distance between two points. In this case, the two points are the lens of the camera and the Playa. In regard to your other questions, I will take the 5th and you can't make me answer ~ Know Matter What

Caution: Malicious Link?

Post by Jordan 10-E » Sat Sep 10, 2005 9:22 pm

Be careful about clicking that link. I opened the same link from an email yesterday and no less than 5 minutes later I had a NASTY malware problem than royally messed me up, even after running my spyware programs. One thing it did was to lock me out of the Task Manager so that I couldn't end the processes, etc. It installed a program called Spy Sherriff.

I can not absolutely guarantee that it was this link, but on the other hand I have never seen it on my computer before clicking that link. After getting my computer back to "normal" I am not going to try it again myself to see if I am right.

I would HIGHLY suggest NOT using it. If the picture is legit then it will show up elsewhere on the net. I would wait for that instead.

Peace

looks like a satelite photo

I'd downloaded google earth in August and found a picture of the BRC with the roads visible, center camp going up, and trucks etc around the location of the man.

This picture looks about the same quality, obviously the same place yet has the multitudes encamped.

I vote it's legit.

It's the vomit.com link that is the problem if anything, not the photo itself. I could be wrong about where my problem came from but I don't think so. Just giving people a heads up.

I didn't have ANY problems with the link. I checked in with my friend who forwarded it to me and they didn't experience any issues either ~

I'm sure that someone will correct me if I am wrong, but I believe the Google Earth image was taken from an aircraft and not a satellite.
