Well it happened, and pickle's t1b user byte took one in the heart.
Did he ask to be banned?
Maybe god is punishing him.

Check out the "hot flights" section. If a cosmic ray is going to nail you, it might be this way.

More solar fun.

Ever hear about the Carrington effect of 1859? No, I don't remember it. If something like that happens today, it would cause some big problems.

"Telegraph systems all over Europe and North America failed, in some cases giving telegraph operators electric shocks. Telegraph pylons threw sparks. Some telegraph operators could continue to send and receive messages despite having disconnected their power supplies."

This makes the ionosphere do all wild and crazy stuff, which makes radio signals do all kinds of abnormal things. Lot's of unpredictable fun for ham radio operators :oops: who delve into this shit.




This is akin to the dreaded EMF Bomb effect. Every semiconductor junction and wire smaller than a railroad rail melts. Probably loose a lot more folks at .net and a few here.
Wireless pacemakers. Would those be affected?

Since they would be affected, what are we supposed to do about it? If we can't do anything, what's the point of worrying about it?
