  1. Re:More descriptive huricane names on Running out of Hurricane Names · · Score: 1

    The Eastern Pacific had Adolph, Israel, and Ishmael on it's list of names, but they were retired for "political sensetivities" (as opposed to death and destruction on the part of the storm).

    OK, it's not live, but can you imagine their bandwidth bill if they offered the data live?

    They do. It's called RIDGE and they offer the radar in GIF format with an ASCII World File to make it work in GIS software. ESRI offers it's freeware ArcExplorer which you could probably user for this. I haven't tried it yet though.

    Los Alamos has downloadable versions, but at 8.5 inches by 11 inches, I'm not sure poster applies.

  6. Re:Almost useless on Credit card signatures: Useless? · · Score: 1

    Visa and Mastercard credit cardss aren't supposed to be accepted without a signature (this includes notes to see ID, etc.).

    Of course, some businesses are now requiring photo identification with credit card purchase.

    He's stated a number of times on the show that he is married.

    Furthermore, he's a BYU grad, and Mormons encourage you to get married and have more adherants, errr, children.

  8. Re:Obvious when used on Traffic Light Control For The Masses · · Score: 1

    It may be obvious when used, but the question becomes who did it...

  9. Re:Not struck by accident? on The Guy Responsible For Ctrl-Alt-Del · · Score: 1

    Actually, the commercial was for Outback Steakhouse.

    I thought it was amusing, myself.

  10. Re:USS Jimmy Carter? on NSA/U.S. Navy Working to Intercept Fiber Optic Cables · · Score: 1

    It's amazing that the Navy lists the Jimmy Carter as under construction. I wonder how someone came up with retrofit.
