  totally useless widget... in fact, it may be the most useless widget so far

  I like this widget. Is there any chance of including Australia's threat level on this widget as well? Australia's threat level can be found at http://www.nationalsecurity.gov.au/

  i hope people understand that these "terror alert" and "threat advisory" systems are wholly inaccurate and not grounded in reality, they in-fact, are forms of psychological terrorism themselves. they do a whole lot more harm than good, if they do any good at all that is.

  it would be funnier if we could use this: http://www.geekandproud.net/terror/ as the images for the "terror" alerts.

  ============ It would be nice if the Australian alert were added. NZ does not need any kind of alert, it is just that kind of nation. Max Power, CEO Power Broadcasting HireMe.geek.nz ============ NAME Acme::Terror::AU - Fetch the current AU terror alert level http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/LWP/ADAMK/Acme-Terror-AU-0.01.readme SYNOPSIS use Acme::Terror::AU; my = Acme::Terror::AU->new(); # create new Acme::Terror::AU object my = ->fetch; print "Current terror alert level is: "; DESCRIPTION Gets the currrent terrorist threat level in Australia. The levels are either... CRITICAL - an attack is expected imminently SEVERE - an attack is likely SUBSTANTIAL - an attack is a strong possibility MODERATE - an attack is possible but not likely LOW - an attack is unlikely UNKNOWN - cannot determine threat level HOWEVER, as the government has repeatedly stated that they think triggering various security events off a single level system would be damage flexibiliy by oversimplifying the situation, and in any case, why on earth should they let the terrorists see what their alert status is. And so this module never returns any of the above status, and instead always returns UNKNOWN. This module aims to be compatible with the US version Acme::Terror and the UK version Acme::Terror::UK. METHODS new() use Acme::Terror::AU my = Acme::Terror::AU->new(); Create a new instance of the Acme::Terror::AU class. fetch() my = ->fetch(); print ; Return the current threat level as a string. level() my = ->level(); if ( == Acme::Terror::AU::CRITICAL) { print "Help, we're all going to die! "; } Return the level of the current terrorist threat as a comparable value. The values to compare against are, Acme::Terror::AU::CRITICAL Acme::Terror::AU::SEVERE Acme::Terror::AU::SUBSTANTIAL Acme::Terror::AU::MODERATE Acme::Terror::AU::LOW If it can't retrieve the current level, it will return Acme::Terror::AU::UNKNOWN BUGS This module may become buggy if Australia develops a simple public and level-based terror alert system, like the ones the US and UK have.
