I loved this film so much when I was a kid.

"Maximum Overdrive" if anyone's curious.

I was waiting for someone to quote it. I almost got scared and felt really old for a whole 10 minutes.

If Japan isn't making gadgets why would their economy improve? I suppose they could move to exporting all those natural resou--- ... oh wait ...

I guess it matters what you consider a 'gadget'.

Generally I categorize most CE devices as gadgets, but I suppose that's too broad.

EDIT: Seriously though, if this could have any real effect on electric grids and communications in North America, there would a least be a small report on CNN right?

The Aurora Borealis? At this time of year? At this time of day? In this part of the country? Localized entirely within your kitchen?

One of the best lines in Simpsons history.

People use the New York '77 blackout as an example of no one getting killed in a prolonged blackout, but after Katrina I think anything goes. Although many babies were made those nights in NY apparently....

Clearly we know whose residents are superior.

Anyone happen to know the implications of this for IKAROS, our first solar sail?

"Maximum Overdrive" if anyone's curious.

I saw this movie when I was a kid and it's been bugging me for years what it's name was. None of my friends ever seemed to know what the hell I was talking about and I thought that I must have just dreamt it. Thank you! My spirit is at peace.

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

Will Harry Potter save us and perform the petronus charm?

 

[soul creator]

[Hydranockz]

BBC coverage with Prof. Michio Kaku. I didn't see it mentioned here.

 

[MarshMellow96]

It's Plissken's fault.. Snaaaaaaaaaaaaake!

In all seriousness - if the internet is dying in a few hours, where is the party?

 

[badcrumble]

Thought the title said "Nazi scientists" for a second there.

 

[Mr. B Natural]

Will god please stop playing with his food and just destroy us already. I'm so sick of his lukewarm indecisive bs. Pick a rapture and stick to it.

 

[Flo_Evans]

Guys, is your internet down? My internet is down.

 

[Barrett2]

Guys, is your internet down? My internet is down.

My internet is also down. I am posting from the surface of the Sun, which is now in my backyard.

 

[DemiMatt]

So did they say this would happen in the day?

I kinda envision a cataclysmic wave that will rock the planet and move it a few degrees back thus curing global warming.

 

[NotWii]

Auroras Late Tuesday (Maybe)

Yeah this has nothing to do with summer.....

Which has everything to do with the Earth's orientation to the Sun
Also solar radiation and cosmic rays drive climate.

[Combichristoffersen]

Every time I scroll by this thread I read it as 'Nazi scientists something something' and get my hopes up that Nazi scientists have finally come out of their base in Antarctica to show the world their UFOs and amazing technology

But seriously does anybody think this is gonna do squat

I think it'll be mild, it's too early in the solar cycle for satellites to be knocked out... I think...
But the sun doesn't care what anyone thinks O_O
