I am not sorry that you stood on train tracks and got run over by a train. I can feel sympathy for the families, but not for the stupid.

Very sad, they think people couldn't hear the train coming.

Is Tornado Alley Moving to the East?
For places like Dallas, this is huge. Ten years ago we had tornadoes constantly, it was just a normal part of life. Now being back a decade later, we forget that it is really even a concern. Used to have them regularly, like every couple months, now two years without one and we have kind of forgotten them as a major threat.

Microsoft's problem isn't how often it updates Windows, it's how it develops it.
Well duh, no one else that releases that often... Ubuntu, Fedora, Suse, Arch, FreeBSD, etc. have similar issues. It is a problem with MS, not the release cycle.

We've definitely seen this in MS. Lot of damage in my area the last few years by multiple tornadoes.

Even if they couldn't hear it, you'd think they would still feel it.

Yeah.... trains are loud and cause a lot of vibration on both the tracks and the surrounding ground. Not sure how people couldn't hear it coming.
