<Lupine> so, even if the main power goes out, we still have service ( provided your comp has backup power )
<Espectro> that doesn't help if you lose the tvv remote control
<Lupine> ahahaa
<Espectro> i lost my radio remote control
<Espectro> i should call for help
<Lupine> "911: what is your emergency! My Remote Control stopped working, I need an ambulence to rush me a set of AA batteries!"
<Espectro> or just "i lost my remote, and i don't know what to do! I'm sooo upset!"
<Schroedin> what's ****ed up
<Schroedin> you lose the remote
<Schroedin> and you actually spend more time and energy hunting around for the ****ing thing
<Schroedin> than just walking to the damn TV and changing the channel
<Chrono-Z> I just put it back in the same place after I use it. Pretty simple system.
<P_O> Hangfire, I don't do that, cause I haven't seen the remote for my livingroom TV in months/years
<Espectro> they have the new technology where you can press this car alarm keychain sized thing and the remotebeeps
<Espectro> but what if you lose the finder module?
<Chrono-Z> Then you are too stupid to watch TV.
<Lupine> some tv's have the button built into it.
<Lupine> i know my cordless phones have that feature. press a button on the base
<ondaline> i want to TELL you i have a l;ot of people here watching TV's, watching the NEWS, and now they have VERY damaged brains
<Lupine> so much for Darwins Galapagoes:
<Lupine> QUITO, Ecuador (AP) -- A volcano has begun to erupt on one of the Galapagos Islands known for its diverse flora and fauna, including the archipelago's famed giant tortoises, park officials said Sunday.
<Lupine> The 1,500-meter (4,920-feet) Sierra Negra volcano, located on seahorse-shaped Isabela, the largest of the Galapagos Islands, began erupting late Saturday afternoon, producing three lava flows, officials from the Galapagos National Park told The ***ociated Press in a statement
<Chrono-Z> Wow, I wonder if they still hold fast to their no human interferance policy or if they will decide to go save the animals/do clean up.
<_3Josephs> hehe, clean up the lava?
<Lupine> Heh. Scrub the ash off the tortoises?
<Espectro> they can swim tho
<Espectro> well ok, they're different from sea turtles maybe
<Lupine> heh.. tortoises are drowning! quick quick, put them on land!
<Lupine> ahah, local tv station forcase "Lightly clouded, breezy, slight chance of drizzle.
<ondaline> hmm Wilmas no joke -(
<_3Josephs> hehe
<ondaline> least they gave it a Flintstones name, but this really ****s
<ondaline> west coast of Fla is lookin bleak
<Lupine> well.. hit the most unpopulated area
<ondaline> high-valued propeties with little feasible way to get on or off of without the fragile causeways
<ondaline> not lookin good
<Lupine> good radar
<Lupine> http://www.intellicast.com/Local/USLocalWide.asp?loc=kmia&seg=LocalWeather&prodgrp=RadarImagery&product=RegionalRadarLoop&prodnav=none
<Lupine> yea, shutters are banging up a storm
<Lupine> that's the worst thing, IMHO.. it sounds like you are in a frigging coconut-rain storm when its just wind
<ondaline> welp, ive been hit in the head so many times, i dont see what one more make ant difference. my only regret is i'm not there to get bashed in the head with a falling coconut
<Lupine> Wow. I think I just saw Rossanne Barr go flying by.. wind must really be kicking up/
<ondaline> they tried everything. i think that knock some sense into me, but i cant get down there
<Katey> oop. Wilma is cat3?
<coldstove> thanks
<Katey> I guess those winds in the region didn't knock it down to cat1 as had been hoped
<coldstove> Katey/what's canoe girl?
<coldstove> Katey/ is she reporter?
<Katey> canoe girl?
<Katey> no idea
<coldstove> it's the topic of this channel.
<jv> Katey: weatherunderground.com is a good blog for hurricanes
<coldstove> NBC's Canoe Girl has landed on Fort Myers Beach to cover Wilma !!
<Lupine> Yea.. canoe girl is a great example of media outright lying
<jv> Katey: check jeffmasters and stevegregory's
<coldstove> Lupine/what do you mean?
<Katey> ah. Well there had some woman floating in a canoe in NJ when they had a lot of rain there.
<Lupine> cold: she was in a canoe "paddling along" talking about how horrible the flooding was, super desperation etc
<Katey> That was pretty funny
<Lupine> and then two guys walk by. she's in ~4" of water
<Katey> right
<Katey> rofl
<coldstove> was it lying?
<Katey> the anchors in the studio even made fun of her for it
<Espectro> good tv
<Lupine> cold: it's no different than NBC rigging that pickup to explode, etc
<Katey> well, not really. :)
<coldstove> a kind of scenario
<Lupine> it was not stated it was a "re-enactment" or the like
<coldstove> anyway...it was a big surprise when catrina hit New orleans.
<coldstove> Especially, I can't forget a picture on internet.
<Lupine> cold: this was in regards to weather in new jersey :P
<coldstove> a dead body floating in the river, and a fat woman preparing her lunch on the bridge
<coldstove> Lupine: I know. I talking about hurricane
<Espectro> guess those 'on the scene' reporters do some wierd things
<Espectro> noting near as coolas what canoe girl did
<Espectro> but in atl there was coleandreaux quarter or something reporting on a traffic accident of something 'on the scene'
<gopp> the fake canoe reporter
<Espectro> she was nowhere near the scene
<Espectro> she was proppy a few blocks away from the tv station
<Lupine> it's bad when the media has to make-up the news. like dan blather did
<gopp> Lupine is it bad in florida
<Lupine> 74mph sustained right now
<Lupine> guests of 110mph reported
<jv> actually, that has interresting follow on during the Miers nomination
<Lupine> shutters soundlike coconuts are bouncing off them

<Espectro> 36 degree wind chill
<gopp> how does this sound
<k1ke> it sounds gay
<gopp> The way we transmitted information
<Espectro> are you trying to think up a company slogan or something?
<gopp> just header for my power point slide
<gopp> Am, Fm, and Sw.
<gopp> Am frequency allowed for strong reception, but less quality.
<gopp> Fm frequency provide stero like quality, and shorter reception range.
<gopp> Shortwave or Sw provide for world wide reception, but still had it limints such as clear reception
<aymuk> browsing http://www.redcross.org/
<jv> gopp: that's factually wrong :)
<Lithium-> "stereo like quality"
<gopp> I am comparring digital radio such as internet "e.g. shoutcast"
<Lithium-> well yes, it does have 2 channels
<jv> gopp: it's amplitude modulation vs frequency modulation
<jv> gopp: not am/fm frequency
<rond> [06:53] <rond> what ?
<rond> [06:54] <Value-> sorry for bothering but do u ever play poker?
<rond> [06:54] <rond> No
<rond> [06:54] <rond> Why ?
<rond> [06:54] <Value-> well maybe ull like my site www.pokeryap.com
<rond> [06:54] <Value-> it lists hundreds of free online poker tournaments everyday with cash prizes

<aymuk> saddam on the net, wandering around a jail cell on video on pretense its to see everybody in his underwear to make sure he doesnt hang himself by it under eyewatch
<gopp> "Amplitude modulation (A.M) frequency modulation (FM) and Shortwave (SW).
<gopp> "
<gopp> doees it sound better
<jv> gopp: yes
<Lupine> heh, check out the radar.. huge eye
<Lupine> http://www.intellicast.com/Local/USLocalWide.asp?loc=kmia&seg=LocalWeather&prodgrp=RadarImagery&product=RegionalRadarLoop&prodnav=none
<jv> gopp: eventhough it's still a bit apples and oranges, but better :)
<aymuk> i could mlao @ it, but in some places it might not be too funny. .... 'saddam' = 'SIDDOWWN'?
