They'll disable your phone remotely you say?
As they warn you the Russian are coming over the ridge?
laugh laugh noooo this is just an experiment using phone masts. You can then press noooooo if you never want a ping warning doh
Aha.
Here is what I imagine one day anno 2032:

PIIIP - "The big bad wolf from the east is maybe doing a surprice attack tonight
if he have time left over after blowing up his own pipeline for no apparent reason.
Now will you fight him with your pitchfork and Rambo knife or not?
Press Y for yes and your phone will open. Press N for no and it will remain locked
intil a a government official has personally decided to unlock it. Have a good day.
Big Bro Inc."

lol
It's better to be safe than sorry. wave
I don't like it. When am I going to need this? And wasn't the closest we've come to nuclear war a fault on a early warning system?
Hi red

If that is the case than I will be in my Nokia 3310 on that day.

No ping no pong.

Kudos
laugh all true grin
wow chesney for once i agree sometimes things are just too too dunno
laugh think i will just turn my phone off that day, then see what happens when i turn it back on banana
mmmm yes we could all hide whilst our houses got burgled. Or stay at home for an error call and loose pay, dunno it goes on and on.

Switch on news in morning and we would soon learn what is around the corner uh oh
Gone are the days we spoke through our phones, nowadays, it speaks to us uh oh

Some days all the pinging on my phone drives me completely daft frustrated

I've teeth marks on my phone to prove it foot in mouth

wave
glad teeth marks just on phone giggle celtic but yes i know what you mean.
Babies will be chipped at birth like they do animals next frustrated frustrated glad i will be floating the seas by then if my sons scatter my ashes as i asked grin
It would make sense in a disaster prone region of the world, but to the British it's like being sold volcano insurance. To be honest I think we'll be making the hazard out of early warning system.

To me this is the nerd precious strikes again. Technology for the sake of technology, data for the sake of data, cowardice for the sake of being cowardly. The nerd precious might just kill us all in their aversion to even the most unlikely of risk.
What is happening here I agree with you again. But i will turn my phone off for the whole 23rd April.
Choice should be asked for first in my book very mad very mad

rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing
And I'm beginning to understand a bit more about your stance.

What is the 'control' element as you see it? The physical act of switching off the alarm, or 'them' knowing that you switched off the alarm?
agree handshake
Not to take from your blog

But the SEA wow

Not that I've ever mistaken you for a yellow ribbon scold

but I've always assumed you'd be happiest scattered around an old oak tree confused

wave Red
Do not understand that bit celtic???

Now you know i have moved loads of times in my life roll eyes to have ashes under one tree well thats it no moving grin anymore.

I have a son top of Scotland and another bottom end of country. Both have boats so ashes split in too, both go out on canoes ring each other and scatter my ashes in the sea. You see i keep on moving then yay
Something that might make a difference between our thoughts is that for nearly half of my life I've lived in areas where you could get a landline phone call if the river was about to burst it's banks.

When I was initially offered the service, I think you had to pay for it and I was just starting out in life at the time. Getting a warning to save yourself/your family/your documents and wallet seemed to depend upon your means.

In one house that I lived in for 15 years, I was about a meter too high to get flooded. The river could get to within meters of my house and the fields on the other side would literally look like the sea for as far as the eye could see. It was remarkably disconcerting and overwhelming, but the geography of the land was such that several other villages would have to completely disappear under water before it got that extra few meters to my front door.

I can't imagine what it's like when more devastating, or life-threatening flooding occurs.

I agree with the right to choice, but choosing for the sake of it even if it could be detrimental to myself, or others doesn't seem like a good strategy to me. It's not like we're short of banners to wave.
My understanding of predictive text is that one's phone offers possibilities not just according to the letters typed, but by the frequency of words used by the texter.

Which begs the question, why did your phone predict you were texting about hos? laugh

How could a warning system work where you didn't have to turn off the alarm?
My fire alarm i do not turn it off i wave the smoke out the window.

JAC is the disabling of my phone i do not like

The typo errors comes from aliens telling me to speak to you rolling on the floor laughing yay teddybear
its done it again Jac IT is the disabling of phone rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing
War time sirens would need to be everywhere to have the same coverage and they'd all require specific maintenance and testing.

Phone alerts not only use the infrastructure we already have, but presumably notify you of the nature of the emergency and what to do.
jac i reckon on this anyway we are on different wave lengths doh

anyway i close blog now its had its day reckon until 23rd April that is teddybear
