The Problem: We have a WCF JSON API, that we need to make accessible from third-party sites (on IE7+), so JSON-P looks like a good solution.
Issue is, (what the .NET guy here has told me), each endpoint in the WCF router will need to be re-written (or added to) to handle GETs (We currently use GET, POST, and DELETE depending on the action). That sucks.
My idea: An IIS module (handler?) that intercepts JSON-P requests, and transforms the request to something the WCF router can handle, then pads the response. Basically transparent JSON-P padding around WCF.
Make sense? Does this exist already?

Ruby haversine - finds the distance between to long/lats. Can be used as a paramater for sort.
def haversine(x, y)
r = 6371
lat1 = x.latitude
lat2 = y.latitude
lon1 = x.longitude
lon2 = y.longitude
d_lat = (lat2 - lat1) * Math::PI / 180
d_lon = (lon2 - lon1) * Math::PI / 180
