     Should it be their priority to cater to Americans that still use Internet Explorer 1.0 ?

     Under what scenario is someone going to access the website from a browser and not have javascript available, though? What phones or computers or tablets don't have basic javascript capability?

     @feld No, @arielmt is right. NWS sites are life-saving information. They can use progressive enhancement on top of simple HTML, but there's no reason why they should be unusable without JS.

     @arielmt they have an rss feed, but it looks like it only has the last three items on it.

     I am so fucking tired of everyone and their mother deciding that reinventing pure and simple HTML in fucking supercomputer-needing slow as script JavaShit is somehow the better future of the World Wide Web.
