ya because no one uses javascript for anything

good solution.


That is exactly the problem. Web 2.0 should never have happened, the browser should have stayed for iterative documents.

Luckily we do have the mobile OSes making it better.


MaxMind does not say their IP info is good to even a city BLOCK level, much less an address. Law enforcement is using the data all wrong.

I've used max mind 5 days a week for years and have never seen this effect.

People watch too much CSI. That's not Maxminds fault.

LEO should be contacting the ISP to get warrants for the customer/ip records. The ISP should know who had what IP when. And the ISP knows where that customer lives because of reasons.

tl;dr - maxmind did nothing wrong, LEO watches too much CSI


What do you mean maxmind did nothing wrong? If their data isn't accurate to an address, they shouldn't be returning an address, especially to law enforcement
