that will sweep across the Atlantic that will still be anything from 60 to 150 ft high when it hits the U.S. Eastern seaboard
I heard an interview with someone from NOAA with the Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory in Seatle that described what happens when a Tsunami occurs. He said when the wave travels through deep water it has tremendous speed (hundreds of mile/hour) but is only a few feet high. As it comes into shallow water the wave slows down to 10s of miles/hour and that causes the huge wall of water. So a Tsunami is not really a 100 ft wave as it travels through the ocean only once it nears land.

"How about, Global Thermonuclear War?"
I guess I'm probably dating myself with that one.

I guess it depends on the kind of log file and what you are looking for. If you are talking about a database log file for instance, all errors lines may start with ERR or something and the log file may contain entries for every login and logout that you really don't care about. If you are only interested in certain types of entries it certainly seems useful.

Just my $.02.
I don't think that is true. There are 2 systems in the Pacific but because Tsunamis are very rare in the Atlantic there is no early warning system.

That's so not true. I know a lot of 30 year old Athlon lovers who play games and look at porn all day.
