I hope I didn't come off too harsh either, I was partly poking fun partly trying to annoy the tree huggers <img src="images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Weather is on topic to survival in a way as a major storm could cause the reason we need to use our PSK/whatever. Interesting to note the Network/server/systems monitoring people at the Bank I'm working for watch CNN and the weather channel on big screen TV's. We joke walking by that we wish we had a job where we could watch TV, but weather patterns which could lead to a storm/power outage/whatever could result in a system outage which would be directly related to the bank. I suppose CNN is because a terrorist attack could take out a building affecting the bank or something similar (I knew about the hits on 9/11 a few minutes before the news because of people on mailing lists asking why a bunch of their routers/cell phone equipment quit responding at the top of the WTC)
