does anyone use air alert, does it work?

Yes someone does. It just isn't me.

I'd go with your first respondent who said "WeatherBug". It's a free program, and has proven to have reasonably accurate radar (more frequently updated, I've found, than weather.com). It does contain ads, but every so often, it'll prompt you to choose which ads are running in the background. Anyway, WeatherBug might seem a bit elementary to some people, but in cases of tracking severe storms with basic radar, I've used it with good results.  \n\nhttp://www.weatherbug.com

I have used it. It's good software. It cleverly links AIM, YM and MSN Messenger (and perhaps ICQ) in the same session. Just one program does it all.\n\nI do not use it anymore because I use AIM only, IF that.

Yes you do.  I have a feeling you don't want to pay for it so try zone alarm - it is free to non-business users and it does do a good job.

I tried ZoneAlarm. It stealthed my computer completely and I liked the user interface but it stopped certain things from working properly, like Windows Update. I had to clear my cache and temp files before going to Windows Update and even then, it was not guaranteed to work - not ideal.\n\nI now use a combination of things to keep my system clear of spyware and I don't get anything on my system now - not even tracking cookies. \n\nIn terms of my firewall, spyware detection and antivirus I use Norton Internet Security. It is intuitive, it completely stealths your computer and it works perfectly with MS applications in particular;\n\nI also use other spyware prevention packages: SpywareBlaster (which loads on start up and runs in the background); this automatically deletes diallers and other malware (I had a problem with these before I divorced my ex - go figure!); \n\nI also run SpyBot (free) and Ad-Aware SE Pro on alternate nights. And I manage my cookies separately with CookieWall (donation ware).

it's working now.  but all you see is a single frame of something white entering the screen from the right.  the next frame is of an explosion, with no sign of the tail or anything.\n\nthe second link you posted is much more informative about the pentagon attack.

I've stopped updating my McAfee Anti-Virus.\nIf you are cheap (like me) there is a good anti-virus\nprogram called AVG from Grisoft that is free for\npersonal use.\n\nYou can download it here (link near bottom of page):\nhttp://free.grisoft.com/freewe...\n\nBefore you install this program be sure to UNINSTALL\nany other anti-virus program that you currently have\ninstalled. Anti-virus programs don't play well\ntogether so you should have only one anti-virus\nprogram installed at any given time.\n\nZone Alarm is a FREE firewall program that provides good protection.  \n\nYou can download it here:\nhttp://www.zonelabs.com/store/...\n\nWhen you install Zone Alarm you will be prompted to\nchoose the free trial to Zone Alarm Pro or just Zone\nAlarm, choose the Zone Alarm (just the firewall)\nbecause it's free. Zone Alarm monitors incoming and\noutgoing transmissions. It will take a little effort\nto get the settings up and running but it's easy and\nworth the time.\n\nAlong with scanning for viruses stopping spyware is important too.  \nThere are 3 good FREE programs that are effective at dealing with spyware, Ad-aware SE Personal 1.05 (removes spyware), Spybot Search & Destroy (blocks and removes spyware), Spyware Blaster 3.2 (blocks spyware). I have all 3 of these programs installed on my PC and they work well together without any conflicts. After these programs are installed they need to be updated on a regular basis to be effective. These programs will have to be manually updated.\n\nYou can download Ad-aware SE Personal 1.05 here (click on "Download Now" near top left of page):\nhttp://www.download.com/Ad-Awa...\n\nAd-aware SE Personal 1.05 will scan your PC and\nidentify spyware that should be removed. Ad-aware\ndefinition files are updated about once a week.\n\n\nSpybot Search and Destroy can be downloaded here:\nhttp://www.safer- etworking.org/en/mirrors/index...\n\nSpybot Search and Destroy will "Check for Problems"\n(scan) your PC for spyware that should be removed.\nBe sure to use the "Immunize" feature that blocks\nknown spyware from getting onto your PC. Spybot\nSearch and Destroy detection files are updated about\nonce a month.\nAfter you update Spybot Search and Destroy each month be sure to "immunize" your PC so that the updated spyware threats will be blocked.\n\n\n\nSpyware Blaster 3.2 can be downloaded here:\nhttp://www.javacoolsoftware.co...\n\nAfter the program is installed be sure to click on\n"Enable All Protection" so the program blocks spyware.\nDetection files are updated about once a month. After updates are installed each month be sure to click on "Enable All Protection" again so the updated detection files are applied.\n\n\nYou may also want to use Mozilla Firefox 1.07 as your\nprimary web browser. Firefox is an excellent program,\nand I have been using it for several months now.\nFirefox has fewer security flaws than Internet\nExplorer. You will still need to use Internet\nExplorer to download Microsoft updates.\nYou can download Firefox here:\nhttp://www.mozilla.org/product...\n\n\nBe sure you have all the critical updates from\nMicrosoft for Windows and Internet Explorer.\nOpen Internet Explorer, click on "Tools" and select\n"Windows Update".

It will work if you are in a wireless hotspot where you travel. Many hotels and airports have wifi..don't forget Starbucks too they are everywhere, but it costs money at Starbucks. If there is wireless in the area and your wifi is on, it will automatically be detected.

Yes it's easy to use, just follow the directions exactly then call 911 immediately. Do not think that because you gave them the epi they will be ok. \n\nRemember that peanut allergies are very dangerous. Even inhaled peanut dust can trigger an anaphylatic episode. Some foods are prepared with peanut oil so you have to be very careful what they eat and where it comes from. Don't trust places that tell you the food was not prepared with peanuts, I've seen far too many people arrest. \n\nLast but not least, NEVER drive your children to the ER if you suspect they are having an allergy attack, always call 911. Children compensate for long periods of time and you may think it's safe to drive them, but they crash fast. Take an AHA CPR class asap especially since you are watching kids with special needs.

I work for a large company and fly on the company jet from time to time.  The crew allow us to use our cell phones, stating that they can't interfere with the systems on our Beech 400 bizjets.  Fair enough.  But...\n\nUp to about 4000 feet AGL after takeoff there is a useable signal.  Beyond that, it all goes dead.  As quickly as those babies climb, the phones go dead about a minute or so after takeoff.  Even holding a phone next to a window to negate the effects of the metal fuselage makes no difference.\n\nOut of curiosity, I watched the phone display rather intently over a couple of flights in various parts of the country to see if I ever got a signal.  Cruising above 20,000 feet -- nada.  Nothing.  Not a single bar.  A couple times I did see a very brief flicker below 10,000 feet as we came down for landing and then got generally good signals somewhere around 4,000 feet and below.\n\nWhile this minimal testing on my part is hardly conclusive and does not include the area around the flight path of Flight 93, I would have to say that any depiciton of people using personal cell phones is probably ficticious, based solely on my limited experience.  \n\nThat said, my service is GSM.  I have not tested this with a CDMA/TDMA or iDen phone.  Signal propogation of those technologies could well be different.  \n\nThere could also have been unsual climactic conditions on that fateful day that allowed cellular communications to function for those folks.  I have no evidence one way or another on that possibility.\n\nOf course, many airliners have the commercial Airphone systems installed.  Those would most likely have worked reliably.  I just hope the company that operates it did not charge those folks for their calls on that day.

Definitely. The police use air analyzers to detect when they have been in too long ad can start suffering from exposure. Your friend needs to be in a sealed suit with external oxygen when cleaning in that environment.

I believe AIM, MSN, Yahoo!, and Gmail all allow you to set up alerts that send a text msg to your cell phone. But if you IM those programs will send u alerts also. I use a program called Trillian that combines AIM, MSN, Yahoo, and ICQ and that pops up a msg on my screen when I get an email.

it's not a question of Forcing... Yahoo mail simply doesn't have that feature.  Suggest it who knows they may put that in the next patch for yahoo.  If ya want something ya gotta ask or how will all the computer geeks at yahoo gonna know?\n\nThe only program i know of that does have the audio alerts is microsoft out look which comes with most computers you just have to set it up... and you can also set up your Outlook to check your yahoo mail :D

Sorry, but this answer will be very generic.\nThe answer depends on what IM program you use. However, almost all will have some things in common. If you go to Tools > Options (or Preferences) or maybe File > Options, there will probably be some option buried in there to set up alerts. Often the category will be called "Alerts" or something similar.\nYou shouldn't have to deal with this though. Most IMs automatically alert you when a contact comes online or goes offline.
