Yellow and Red Alerts

I love 'em

[Brad]

I just got to say I love seeing that wording occasionally when I hit the WebmasterWorld front page.

I don't know if it is intentional but they remind me of Star Trek TOS with Captain Kirk sitting in his command chair. Anyway, I can almost hear that klaxxon everytime I see the words. :)

[Brett_Tabke]

Thanks, I think it works well too.

[ScottM]

Could we work in "raise shields" somehow?

Along the lines of a rogue robot? :)

[Brad]

The only trouble is, throwing myself out of the chair every time we take a hit. I'm getting to old for that. :D

*sigh*
OK..so.. help me here: which one is more severe? Red or yellow?

[Slade]

Red is worse.

Yellow is something strange, could be dangerous...

Red is the Borg [startrek.com] entering our solarsystem.

red.

Yellow isn't that serious.

Is there more serious than red though? and, are there only two? (i've only seen those two...)

[Brett_Tabke]

I thought about doing "DefCons", but the military implications were too strong.

At least it isn't confusing like the homeland defense chart [whitehouse.gov]. Just don't start any blue or orange alerts Brett. ;)

Ouch - I'd not been following that Korkus. I may have to rethink using them in that case.
