Doesn't seem to work for me. Just shows one marker on each of the maps (none of which are in the same continent as my location).
Won't chrismacnaughton.com fall foul of GMaps usage limits?
Like the idea though...

I've not heard any compelling explanations why this hasn't been attempted, though IMO, Assange would be a fool to agree to it -- guilty or innocent.
On the other hand, there's little doubt that the attempted extradition procedure has correctly followed current UK law: it went all the way to the Supreme Court, and he was represented by absolutely top-class lawyers. So Sweden has the right to do what they're doing.
People have been extradited from the UK on 'European Arrest Warrants' for crimes such as drink-driving and theft of a piglet, with no prima facie evidence required.
According to Swedish law, any application that comes in in the future has to be dealt with in court.
The government can't give guarantees that it will ignore the law in some hypothetical future situation. After all, the US hasn't asked for his extradition (yet).
"I’d been told he might be heavy weather. Fame is a terrible burden, and understandably the famous must find ways of dealing with sycophants, detractors and intruders."
Well he certainly had to deal with a sycophant that day.
"Julian Assange could be described as the Tom Paine of the early 21st century."
Seriously?
Do you also read tea leaves?
Who is brianvan5155 and why hasn't he made any comments?
How has this made it to the front page?
What can it all mean?
But then I think that nearly everyone has a tendency to think that anything they don't fully understand must be simple.
You don't have to hang around here or on Slashdot for long to see that programmers suffer from this too...
Takes you through writing an interpreter and then a compiler for a toy basic-like language.
A 'text-editor and compiler' environment, no licence fees, and none of the battling with the timeline that I have to do when I work in Flash. I'm a Haxe novice, but still found it much easier than Flash (with which I've got a fair bit of experience).
Not saying it's better in all cases than using Flash, but it has suited my needs much better.

Works better for unusual size windows (IMO).
Just because there's a minor zooming bug in iOS, I wouldn't say your iPad is totally unusable.
I've lost this argument with PHBs in the past. They want to be able to send password 'reminders'. Sometimes they want to be able to look up users' passwords too.
Once they've made the decision to misfeature like this, nothing will change their mind: that would show weakness or fallibility.
I bet there's a developer somewhere in the UK right now who's glowing with a warm sense of I-told-you-so.
In the London extradition court case, the lawyer for the Swedish authorities (Clare Montgomery) admitted giving Assange permission to leave:
'She said Mr. Assange's Swedish lawyer, Bjorn Hurtig, was told on Sept. 15 that his client was "not subject to any restraint and could leave Sweden."'
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000142405274870442220457612...
The authorities were in full possession of the facts of the case at this time.
Then -- weeks later -- they changed their minds.
> There are transcripts of his lawyer setting up the 2nd interview with the authorities.
Montgomery -- Sweden's counsel, remember -- also said that during this conversation, his lawyer said he was unable to contact Assange. Is that in the transcript?
> And furthermore: What is your point?
My point is that the accusation that he fled Sweden is not an established fact.
> Politically motivated or not, the police are engaged in an investigation.
You really don't think it makes any difference if it's politically motivated? No equal access to justice regardless of political opinions?
This is what you are missing.
If everything that was 'legal' was in black and white as you suggest, there would be no need of lawyers or appeal courts.
Assange is transparently a scumbag at best, and rapist at worst, but this isn't true.
He was given permission to leave Sweden: the authorities had finished with him. They changed their minds weeks later.
And they can talk to him as much as they like. In London. Even in the Ecuadorean embassy. He's offered this much many times.
He cooperated, and now it's escalated due to political motivation.
How is this so hard to understand?
So it's not too far removed from the "thing-that-already-exists but on the internet" patents which are a large part of the problem, or the "thing-that-already-exists but on a mobile" patent which is biting Notch's ass at the moment.
Not that I'm saying Dyson's patents are invalid, nor that his designs haven't improved the state of the art in several fields, but he didn't invent the cyclone technology in a... vacuum.
Except for the bit at the end where he advises you to make a false police report.
Check with local police, as they may organise free destruction of unwanted weapons.
Awful, just awful.
http://seloger.com has 2700+ apartments in central Paris alone which are smaller than 27 sq m.
I have no opinion on whether it would be good for SF.
Smallest I can find on seloger in Paris is 86 sq ft, which does seem a bit on the small side...
PHP is like javascript: I use it not because it's good, but because it's what's available.
People can bitch about PHP as much as they like, but my project for today is hosted on a server running PHP 5.2.4. I don't even have shell access; only FTP.
