I was wondering if they were going to delay any of the spacewalks, but it didn't look like it. Does anyone know what's happening with the one solar array? It looks like it went slack. I haven't had enough time to check in lately, what with Windows Black Tuesday and flakey RAID controllers and all... 
Corrected
I stand corrected on the XM sat. The Sirius though is not a geo stationary like we use for sat TV. Sirius does not as yet use geostationary satellites, though plans to expand their network in 2008 will add one. Currently, its three LS-1300 satellites fly in geosynchronous highly elliptical orbit in a 24-hour orbital period. Sirius claims the elliptical path of its satellite constellation ensures that each satellite spends about 16 hours a day over the continental United States, with at least one satellite over the country at all times. Sirius completed its three-satellite constellation on November 30, 2000. A fourth satellite remains on the ground in Palo Alto, California as a spare ready to be launched if any of the three active satellites encounter transmission problems.

Part was copy and paste part wasn't.

My uncle died of solar radiation poisoning from that sun flare. Please think of those less fortunate than yourself.
Nude sunbathing
That's what he gets for nude sunbathing during a sun flare. Just burned him all over and now he's just a cinder block huh. :yikes :clap
I killed a guy staggering around our neighborhood, mistaking him for a solar flare-induced zombie. But it turned out that he had just been drunk.
Be used in court
Oh No the courts will use this against you . Just like Fla is doing against dish. :haha :haha

Please accept my most humble apologies.
I usually keep my zombie-phobia in check, but about every 5-7 years, it gets the best of me and someone pays the price.
I need to stop watching Monsters HD.
I have heard that if the radiation gets bad enough, it's liable to affect the software version of Dish DVRs. Look out everyone. A new one's coming!!!!!
New Dish engineer excuse.....
"The Solar storm killed our HDMI outputs....."
Beats the heck out of "the dog ate my homework...."
