About ten days ago, I mentioned a New York Times story on my Web site about hurricane names:
The New York Times report that each Katrina is handling the problem in her own way. Others with last year's 281st most popular baby name for a girl are coping with their fateful association with the devastating storm by trying everything from defending their name against those who might make fun of it to questioning the hurricane naming system...... Katrina, which means pure, reached its pinnacle of popularity as a name in 1980, when it was the 90th most common female baby name. Following only the whims of the fashion climate, 50 years ago the name was 489th in popularity, according to the Social Security Administration. It climbed to its peak 25 years later. But it slipped to No. 127 in 1990 and continued to fall...... "How about doing away with names?" asked Katrina Heron, author of "Safe: The Race to Protect Ourselves in a Newly Dangerous World" (HarperCollins 2005), and a former editor at The New York Times Magazine. "Every time this horrible natural disaster strikes some group of people gets sideswiped." Ms. Heron has an alternative idea. "I think we should name hurricanes after vegetables we hate."
A spokesman from the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) in Geneva, which issues names of hurricanes based on an alphabetical list that rotates annually and repeats every six years, did not respond to messages, but Stu Ostro, a senior meteorologist at the Weather Channel, said the world body was unlikely to change the system, which started in 1953. Experts had found that just giving storms numbers or locations was confusing. "The goal is to give valuable information clearly that can help save lives," Mr. Ostro said. "Maybe that's some solace the people named Camille or Katrina or Charley or Ivan can take."
The World Meteorological Organization does have a policy of retiring the names of particularly vicious storms, like Charley, Frances, Ivan and Jeanne, which pounded Florida last year, so this is likely to be the last Hurricane Katrina...
At my workplace, all of these are enforced. The rules are so strict that you can be fired if you violate these rules. Each laptop comes with IT downloader that IT can push updates. Also, there is a list of banned software and hardware.

I was born with hearing impediment so I have to wear a bone conduction hearing aid since I cannot hear well. Let's just say you would have to yell at me just to talk to me. I can hear music from loud concerts, loud movie theaters, loud churches, etc.
Anyways, I can always turn off my hearing aid if things get too loud.:) I could have a surgery to regain hearing but I think I will use my partial deafness as an advantage. Turn it off, and poof. Less audio to hear for me.
Although wearing hearing aid can be annoying (e.g., changing batteries, fall off if I shake my head, hurt a lot if wearing too much, my head gets itchy, etc.).
A co-worker, at work, found this a few weeks ago... Putfile's streaming copy (downloadable if you view it source code) from the episode (boring to me). Check out the lyrics.

Yeah v1.1 though. Too slow?
What's a harcopy? [grin]
I have a PowerBook G4, but not a desktop Mac. :(
Ahhh. What I meant, away from computer. So if something happens to the computer, say Windows died or something, then I won't lose my TV. :)
You still have to maintain it in Windows. :). It looks like it uses Internet Explorer!
I also have an ATI Radeon 980 Pro AIW. Oy, hard to keep it stable. It is buggy. Hence, why I am avoiding software based PVRs.
I was interested in getting one after my current VCR dies, but its price and subscription price bothered me. Now, this termination fee!
I can get Replay, but I heard it has subscription fee too.
MythTV is nice, but I don't have time to set it up and maintain it (stuff break down, need upgrades, etc.). I prefer hardware base.
Play it online if you have Internet Explorer (ActiveX required). Go to Virtual Apple and load the game up.
Those three games scared me. :) The usage of the audio is incredible to give me the chills.

Oh boy, throw in Simon in it making remarks on the candidates. :)
Does it really cut down the number of connections by listed IP addresses? I heard it doesn't stop them.
o/~ three plagued mice
three plagued mice
See how they run,
See how they run!
They all ran after
The farmer's cat
It ate the mice
and died...
Did you ever see
Such a sight in your life
As three plauged mice? o/~

Click here. Uh oh. :)
I can hear birds chirping and leaves rustling with a hearing aid. :P
The thing is that I do not have ear cannals and ear holes.

Poor chair... :)
Yahoo! has his old TV shows from the old days. He looked a lot older than 20 back then. ;)
I will have to try it at home since my employer's blocked non-common ports. :(
personman21: It takes me back to the home page. :( It doesn't like hot linking.
