actually, the story does indicate that some alerts are optoutable, but "presidential" (wtf?) alerts would still come through.

Why does it equal it twice?

And so those of us who are "Amish" [no cell phone] would be SOL?

I use it in this way:

In some programming languages such as PHP a double equals sign ("==") denotes equivalence, meaning that the variables may not be of the same data type, but their values can be reduced to the same value.

No I suppose not, but the local emergency text alert system is used to announce flyovers and street closures as well as real emergencies. So most people who signed up for it initially after September 11th have now opted out.

I honestly don't feel like if my house gets hit directly that even in the bathroom, I'll be safe. So why spend my last moments bored or cowering in fear? Plus I need my comp to check the weather.

Wish I'd used my camera instead of my phone :(. Well here is a pic I got. Kinda caught some lighting. I love bad weather...I know I'm crazy.
