I guess I'm getting old, but that stunt involving the TV's and switching them on and off was just pitiful. Is that what passes for a practical joke? Those guys must be really bored...what's next, a Pull-My-Finger extravaganza? LOL...NOT.

I just wanted to let Gordon know what the | character is used for these days. It is used extensively when you work with Unix or Linux. It allows you to chain commands together in the console.
Example use:
tail -10000 logfile.log | grep "Jan 14" | grep maxpc

This would take the last 10000 lines of the log file, look for the text Jan 14, and then look for max pc within that result set.

I have to say I was really surprised by the comment about being more likely to ignore a future emergency because last week's turned out to be a (relatively) false alarm. The reason you haul ass out of there when the call goes out is, in a real emergency, the difference between life and death can literally be a matter of seconds. Unless you have a crystal ball, when an evacuation is taking place you have NO WAY OF KNOWING whether or not it is real. The next one might be.

Seriously, I thought you guys were smarter than that.
