Uh, yes. and everywhere else to best of my knowledge. At least in modern countries, anyway.

On: AOL Treats Florida Emergency Alerts Mail As Spam

Don't forget there are people like me.. who live in the country. There's no local TV station that I can pick up with antennas. My DirectTV service cuts out when the weather's bad.

I'm deaf, and cannot use a radio.

Therefore, I use the web and email for my alerts.. those two things have been pretty reliable for me.

I have UPS's outta the wazoo at home, the telco switchhouse has UPS's and elec. generators.

So, alerts via email is a good thing. Especially with a cel phone that can accept email. I get alerts from http://emergencye.com/ and it saved my car from big hail damage couple weeks ago :)

I also agree email shouldn't be depended on for stuff like this, BUT sometimes for people like myself, there are no alternatives.

Re:Why?

On: Sims 2 Blocked by CD Copying Software

I own all the games that I use CD emulator software for. Daemon Tools to be specific.

I use it because I have like 300 gigs free on a RAID0 array.

Game loading time ZIPS right by! Best of all I dont have to search for my cdroms.. I ALWAYS misplace them, I'm not very organized :)

I hate it when my pals are waiting for me to join a game online.. I'm desparately tearing up my desk lookin gfor the damn cd.

Daemon Tools has been a godsend to me for that reason.

I agree, that this type of copyright prevents legimate users like myself-- most pirates are not stopped by this goofiness.
