Solar Flares keep coming

I dont know how much anyone follows this stuff, in the Telecom world this can have a pretty big impact.

Tuesday the sun released what is believed to be the largest solar flare in recorded history

These are rated X1 to X20. In 1989 and 2001 X20 flares were reported, and were the largest in recorded history.

Apparently this next one is off the charts, IE well beyond X20. Apparently another flare looks to erupt soon as well

Just a heads up for all you Tech-lovin fools like me.

Solar flares are just part of the "axis of evil". Just ask Dubya and Mr. Ashcroft. It's a carefully disguised terror attack. Washington announced earlier today a Pentagon program aimed a "snuffing out" the sun as part of the on-going "war-on-terror" :)

Slipknot1, ROTFLMAO! The scary thing is, you're probably right. Come to think of it, when I stare into the sun directly, I can swear I see Osama bin Laden!

I felt it enhanced detail and broadend the soundstage by adding more bass. I did notice it also got dark around 6PM again

From the sound of it this stuff aint ending any time soon.

The funny thing is, ever since these solar flares have started occurring, i feel much much more powerful!

in fact, i destroyed 6 keyboards just writing this message!

However the boils are really beginning to hurt.

i guess everyting has a downside eh?
