rant time

just some small rants this time, finally got my tram ticket fine thingie, after thinking about it for a few weeks, i'll probably just pay the stupid fine, considering the unlikely event that i would beat the stupid system, and the fact that i'd have to go to court. i'm not admitting blame, i still blame the fact that the machine on the tram (and at the tram stop) doesn't take notes, and there is no warning anywhere that says anything about it. i'll stand by that to the day i die, and also that the ticket inspector was the biggest fuckwit cunt ever, there, i said it.

number two, i'd like to petition yahoo to stop using yahoo maps, and start using google maps which are ten times better (outside the us & a i think), you can actually see machu picchu on the map, whereas yahoo you zoom in about 20% and they tell you they don't have a picture at that level, then when you try to place the picture they tell you to go to a higher zoom level for better accuracy (i'm talking about flickr of course) which of course provides you nothing but grey with black text. and then there's the search, case and point, i was looking for cruz del condor near arequipa in peru, and while it shows up in panoramio (though not at the highest zoom level), it doesn't in flickr, ok, fair enough, it's just a lookout point, so i look up the nearby towns that i remember, chivay and cabanaconde, neither of which return in the search results, but then when i search the map, after a while, i can actually see chivay on the map, doesn't say much for their search algorithm, might be a good thing microsoft took over. anyway, google maps i find are infinitely more usable and more detailed as far as my experience goes.
