How many of you recall the big kerfuffle with AOL in the '90's? They oversold their product and their infrastructure couldn't accommodate all the sign-ons. The bottom line was that AOL had to dig deep and beef up their backbone....and offer payouts to anyone who wanted out of their contract.

This isn't exactly what's occurring but it's close enough to see across the back fence.

You'll read of more outages in the near future.

Bank on it...

Yes, we have been treated here to the PSAs as well.

The test is part of the Emergency Alert System designed to transmit, via TV and radio, emergency alerts and warnings regarding weather threats, child abductions and other types of emergencies, according to officials.

Child abductions?  Really?

This is not needed; the localities have gotten the job done reporting on all these things.

Because who wants to be the one arguing against reporting them in any manner possible?

Just tossed the word child into the discussion and the libs expect everyone to roll over....


I've missed the PSAs.  Guess I don't watch the right channels.  What the time for all this?  I'm turning everything on.

*sigh*  Somewhere around here is a post about how the new model cellphones will be engineered, by mandate, to receive Amber Alerts.  Soon, there will be no way to get away from Big Nanny.

I've missed them myself, but maybe it's because I watch so little TV.

No sweat, want to make sure everyone is aware of the time, we want to get a good picture of what these clowns are up to!

Since I'm at work, my cell phone will be "off". Excuse me if I miss the excitement.

Our supervisor at work today made the announcement about this happening tomorrow.  3 of us guys immediately look at each other and quickly mentioned, from each of us that it had to do with getting ready for martial law.
 None of us had spoken about it together it was rather interesting that all 3 of us came to the same conclusion.
 The humerous part was that it came to the surface when we talked about in the meeting with all the big bosses present.

"don't worry"

That was an old Che Guevara phrase?

We will find out LV, typically this has involved just radio & TV, but who knows what is going on?  I'll check radio, e-mail, internet and cell when the time comes.
