    Glad I don't rely on Slashdot for the absolute latest news about a possible Tsunami.

    Actually the quake was not in the proximity of a subduction zone, hence why no tsunami resulted.

    Why is this on slashdot? HOW exactly is this "News for Nerds"? Did a popular webserver fall down? WHAT?

    By the way; Your "Validate that you are human" system is crap.. When even a HUMAN cannot see through it - it sucks! Change the letter sequence for each try.

    If you cannot see through once, you wont be able to the next 2 tries.
