Default Theodolite NYC? was: Triangulation Error Question

I live in Los Angeles, so I'll wait
for someone else to do teh walkabout.

the main problem seems to be that
you only have a couple of front-facing shots
of the aquarium building, that are difficult to tell apart,
as where they were shot from, but
it probably was from two quite different places,
maybe several blocks forwards or backwards from the building,
enough to put the trees under the line of sight (or,
of course, behind teh photographer).

any way, you misconcieve this as a "2D problem,"
since you are using approx. "plan" views with the maps, and
approx. "elevation" views witht he photos, and
that's teh problem: they're only approximately like those
idealizations.

all of it can be solved with elementary projective geometry and
ratios, not that it wouldn't take a while, but
you are just handwaving, and trying to cast aspersions on me and
my supercool buddy, Lyn.

Put on your glasses and walk to Battery Park.

Here are the valuable pointers:http://u2r2h-documents.blogspot.com/...tc-impact-vide...


thus:
is it true, that only LaRouchiacs know that
Leo Szilard was the foundational model for Dr. Strangleove?
if you don't believe that,
watch a few episodes of Sagan's PBS biopic,
"The Weaponeers" -- except that
Szilard was his mentor, so!...
of course, there were probably compositional elements
of Sir Henry of Kiss.Ass., Macnamara, Chomsky et al
ad vomitorium from the Ayn RAND Corp.

thus quoth:
Only fragments of these remarks have been reported in the West, while
in Russia RIA Novosti gave its readers a headline
("Clinton supports placement of BMD in Poland and the Czech Republic")
that was directly opposite to what President Clinton said.
