Latest Earthquakes M5.0+ in the World - Past 7 days
This webpage is being phased out and is no longer maintained. Please
use the new Real-time Earthquake Map instead and update your bookmark.
See Quick Tips & User Guide.
http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsww/Quakes/quakes_big.php
CRAP.
Why do people keep wanting to change things that work?
But fancy replacing a perfectly serviceable HTML with this java
crapware:
http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/map/
It's heavy, cumbersome and uses code that is being phased out by HTML
5 (or is supposed to be.)
Yes it is an handy tool. One I would use if I had a use for it. It's
very clever -as an adjunct. But it is a prissy little list that need
tweaking every damned time you go there.
Ah hang on...
If you select View > Page Style and click on No Style (coincidentally
very appropriately named?) you get a list of sorts if you scroll down.
So that's OK.
But I am not an happy chappy.

Yeah, it sucks. I go to that page sometimes multiple times a day
as I can get in a quick glance of a couple seconds the newest
activity since the last time I looked.
I can (and have used) the new map. It has it's pro's and con's. It's
been especially nice being able to zoom way in on the Brawley activity
to see the fault trend patterns. Before I'd just load it into Google
Earth, but that's on the other computer so this saves me from starting
it up just for that. On the other hand, it's not as quick to see the
list as described above.
So far the list is still being updated. I'll continue hitting it until
it 404's.

What used to be tabs to go to different pages of info are now a
list on the left side. Once I figured that out I could find
everything... and more.
So, when you click on a quake in the list, it opens a new tab
for the info on that quake. In the menu on the left look for
'technical'. Under that are the links for the beachballs.
It's probably no good complaining. Things change and it's no
fun because we get comfortable to our environment.
Instead, how about we all just help each other adapt? We may
find it better in the long run. It looks like there's a lot
more information available under the new system.

researching how two people rewrote the thinking on plate tectonics to
include rotation as a mechanism,normally a step like that would be
announced as a major modification to the previous thinking based on
thermal 'convection cells' - I even got a laugh from some unknown
contributor who edited the newly introduced text to read 'Alfred
geraldis' instead of Alfred Wegener .
I don't look for something as irrelevant as praise or
recognition,anyone over the last 7 years could have discussed or added
to the core driver of crustal evolution and its destruction by way of
differential rotation but men are small in this era and prefer to
behave like thieves and that is why the attempt to introduce a
rotational mechanism without attribution is crude.If they wanted the
whole concept of rotation drawn down from observing rotating celestial
objects all they had to do was ask instead of being dullards flailing
around trying to make a Frankenstein's monster mechanism that students
are bound to encounter.
That is the real insult,not that they tried to steal a concept which
anyone in sci.geo.geology could have read about 7 years ago but that
they mangled the straightforward reasoning.So much for
geologists !,there were once great men of stature and integrity but
not today,just welfare recipients who can't make the effort or do not
have the talent to handle that discipline where astronomy and
terrestrial sciences mesh.
Thank God I never was a part of the dreary empirical culture ! - I
missed nothing.

comes to handling evolutionary geology and the mishandling of rotation
is more childish than it is criminal.It is like watching children
pulling every level to make rotation work without the simple protocols
and the application of principles which make the action of the
rotating fluid dynamic on the fractured surface crust so easy to
understand.

You can download the sit with commas separating the columns so you can
play with them in a spreadsheet. And you can control the magnitudes
you don't want to have to eradicate in said sheet.
But apart from that you have to reset the java console every damned

That must be a problem with your browser/java, as I don't have
that issue. Actually, I don't even have java enabled, so apparently
it's not required. I don't run java unless absolutely required
as it can be a security issue.
As for doing anything with a large list of hundreds or thousands,
I usually download the entire catalog and write my own software.
I have copies of several different catalogs on the hard drive.
