Will increased hurricane intensity create more rogue waves?...

My understanding is that the classic rogue wave isn't necessarily connected with hurricanes (which generate big waves as a matter of course), but the Hurricane Ivan rogue-wave observation has caused experts to rethink their previous views. I'm trying to get a follow-up interview with a rogue-wave researcher and will ask specifically about that ... Anything I find out will be posted at http://www.cosmiclog.com ... The item you originally referenced is on a test site and may or may not be available in the future.

That's a little off-topic, Kevin, but I'll allow it cuz we're just starting out here. There is this article from Red Herring about solar panels that are translucent when viewed from the side: http://www.redherring.com/Article.aspx?a=16871 ... if folks can add much more to this angle and it's of interest to the group, I can start off a new item on solar-panel windows.
