According to Kurt Kobain, Mount Rainer has been experiencing a number of quakes for some years now. The chances of an eruption over the next few decades is put at 1:15 to 1:30.
Mount Rainer is awfully big. Obviously, it'd depend on the size of the explosion, but the potential exists for something that would make Mount St. Helen's 1980 event look like something mild.
Despite comments by other posters on this, before, I can't help but feel that the Cascades affect each other. Even if there is no direct connection, the mere proximity means that the internal structure of each volcano may be affected by earthquakes caused by the others.
Mount Rainer hasn't (so far) had a major increase in pressure build-up. However, isn't it within the realms of possibility that the Mount St. Helens quakes may block vents, compress the magma, etc? Sure, the shock waves haven't been big (so far), but that's relative. It might not take a whole lot to set Mount Rainer off.
The Cascades are part of the so-called "Ring of Fire", which is a massive chain of volcanos. KATU talked about it having 3/4s of all the volcanos on Earth. That's a lot. I don't know if this Mexican volcano that's also gone off is also part of the Ring, but if it is, I (for one) would be very much in favour of increased monitoring over the whole of the Ring. Things seem a little too active, right now, and it probably isn't sensible to just sit back and wait.
Even if the probability of any further eruptions in the near future are extremely low, and even if the probability of either of these events triggering further volcanic activity elsewhere is minimal, it might be prudent to make sure of that.

If it's bad, why are people buying it?
I would say its because people are purposely kept ignorant by mainstream media. Most people don't know that alternate information is available to them, especially music. Sure there is 'alternative' music. Alternative to what? Its produced by the same old people.
People get spoon fed with a constant barrage who is cool, what is the best to listen to, etc. They cant help the choices they make. Most people do what they are told to do.
As someone who lives in Seattle and is appropriately disgusted by the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ tentacles those fuckers have over this town, yer asumption is most likely correct.
I take the PC folks, fire up OS X, and do two things:
Show em Expose f12... Hide the windows.. w000!
Then I:
1. Open Safari and MS Word and a bunch of other apps.
2. I then put Safari in the forground, find a site with a nice picture of something.
3. Use my mouse, grab and pull the picture up off the site, hit f9 throwing all windows open to sort across the screen, pick the MS Word window with a nice fresh document open, hover my mouse over it which makes it come to the forground, then drop the picture I tore off the web page onto the Word document.
I get "oooo" and "aaaahhhhh's" everytime. They always walk away going "That was cool".
Its easy to sell Macs, you just gotta show people the cool shit.
I actually disagree. Panther for me was the one that brought me back to the Mac. It became the first version of the OS I personally felt good about paying for.
I agree Apple is making money, but speed enhancements alone worked for me, not to mention the fact it finally felt like UNIX.
Actually, its very possible to be conservative, and be anti war.. Just like he said in the interview, its possible to believe in what the armed forces were designed for: to protect our national borders against real threats, not thinly veiled colonialism shrouded in lies about great threats to our nation as an excuse to invade 3rd world countries.
The only kind of conservatism I see Bush engaged in is values conservatism. His far right religious adgenda is yes, very conservative, but his fiscal and government policies are not. Witness the mounds of debt, out of control spending, and government enlargment under his administration.
If you call that conservative, I will leave you alone to listen to yer Rush and Oreilly, to dwell amongst the hallucinations such hobbies bring.
Which is exactly my point. You may not like Cringley's writing or whatever, but someone must, because he makes a living by people reading his shit.
Now since you *don't* enjoy it, why read it? Better yet, why spout off in a public forum, some opinionated spittle you concoct about it? Why not just ignore it, and keep your opinions to yourself and move on?
Even better yet, please ignore me, as I am also spouting said drivel.

Does anyone know how they are going to release this? Will it be a forced upgrade for all?
How did you go about moving there?
On when Photoshop and such will be native? Oh to be free of carbon!

Amazing!!
All I have noticed he can do is mumble and drool on himself about some such shit. We only guess that its about Star Wars.
Will the wonders ever cease?

Interesting.. thanks!
Maybe you should start writing for MS's channel 9!! Yer a suck up just like that crew.

I find that especially interesting since while shopping for a dedicated server, 80% of the companies I saw used Fedora as the OS.
Maybe Redhat should make that a lot clearer.
They want to support their artist.
Stop yer killing me..
Buying media does nothing to support your favorite artist. You wanna support your favorite artist? Give em a couple of bucks on the street.
Buying media supports those who opress and exploit artists, and feeds your own addiction to consumption.
Have fun dupe.
I'm still waiting for the streetcar.
As someone who works along the Streetcar route, I have watched his Vulcan Ventures people come in and bribe all the businesses along the way.
He is a work of art...

Did they get the no- Flash plug in on Linux PPC thing fixed yet?

Let me get this straight. An idiot (you) is trying to say that someone who is not an idiot, is an idiot?
How do I know you're an idiot?
People with Hotmail email addresses are idiots. Emperical evidence proves it.
omeone who just wants a working computer from go.
:)
This is why I want it on a laptop. If I am working on the go, I dont want to spend time compiling, and tweaking config files.
I just want kde 3.2 to *just work*
Yeah, I love Gentoo, but sadly, its a bit of a pain on a laptop. :(
Great, thanks.
So are there other packagers like Tex or the FreshRPMS guy around for SuSE? There must be I would imagine.
