Author Topic: Solar flare NASA Knows what it's all about Member # 177 posted September 08, 2005 09:44 AM                   Thursday, September 8, 2005; Posted: 7:36 a.m. EDT (11:36 GMT) • NOAA Space Environment Center WASHINGTON -- A large solar flare was reported Wednesday and forecasters warned of potential electrical and communications disruptions. The flare was reported by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Space Environment Center in Boulder, Colorado. Significant solar eruptions are possible in the coming days and there could be disruptions in satellite operations, electric power systems, high frequency communications and low-frequency navigation systems, the agency said. "This flare is the fourth largest in the last 15 years. It erupted just as the ... sunspot cluster was rotating onto the visible disk of the sun," said Larry Combs, solar forecaster at the center. The flare has already affected some high-frequency communications on the sunlit side of Earth, NOAA reported.

My point with this post was to warn of another possible crash of ATM's around the country. So many of them are using satellite controlled networking systems, we could have a repeat of the crash of a decade ago. Don't let it happen again, OK? This IS a hijack free-fire zone, n'est pas?

An ongoing series of seven major solar flares, including two on Saturday, have started to disrupt communications on Earth. Already satellites have been affected. There are reports of cell phone service disruptions in the L.A. area today. Even more serious effects are possible this week.

The computer in my truck uses a CDMA connection. ( Cell phone data line ) I had problems with it all morning. Constantly either lost the connection, or it just faded out. The Border Patrol landed a helicopter in my driveway this morning, It took a full 15 minutes to download the text only message from my wife, and a full 20 minutes for my response to send. ( I gave up and called her before then ) Talk about a stressful time. My busiest time at work all day, I first got a message from her that a helicopter was sweeping back and forth over the property around the house. I wrote back telling her to load her gun and lock the doors and let the dogs handle anything outside. The message wouldn't send, the cell phone wouldn't hold a signal long enough to make the phone ring and when I got though on the radio phone, she didn't answer because she was outside taking pictures of an Agent getting picked up. I was heading North when I got a note from her telling what happened, and that all was well. -------------------- Personally, I carry a gun because I'm too young to die and too old to take an ass kickin'.

They will start attacking predator hunters. Once bitten, the hunter becomes more zombies attaching more victims. These solar flares are really scary. -------------------- The coyote is a living, breathing allegory of Want. He is always hungry. He is always poor, out of luck and friendless. The meanest creatures despise him and even the flea would desert him for a velocipede.

Without it, the radiation from those solar flares would puff your brain like a marshmallow in a microwave oven.

That was Bush's fault too. -------------------- And lo, the Light of the Trump shown upon the Darkness and the Darkness could not comprehend it.
