I despise street view.

What an odd thing to despise.

I find it a violation of privacy. In particular, mine. Fuckers got my house.

German minister for justice is currently campaigning against it. She says it's a worse and more blatant breach of privacy than any secret service would dare to commit.
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

For a country where a quarter of it's population was under constant surveillance of the Stasi that's a bold statement.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

Why would the BND want to do such a thing? When google is doing it for them...
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

How is it breaching privacy. If I walk in front of your house I can see it.

Two guys dressed in scuba gear chasing the street view car.

Um... I assume that's typical fashion for Norwegians?  Just your average neighborhood, where the locals are dressed in scuba gear, jogging down the street.    :D

Holy crap!  Those bastards have grabbed my house on streetview!  Apparently summer 2009 by the looks of the street.
