No Power In The East

Hmmm, you would hope that mission critical systems would be running on something like QNX and not M$ crap.
But then again if the system failed ultimately because of non-critical systems, i.e the ability to coordinate the working of the grid through a crumby communicatons network, then perhaps M$ will get taken to the cleaners.

My god please! *prays that M$ get's fucked*

MES Headquarters (aka my house) in Parlin (aka Sayreville, home of the ho-hum John Bon Jovi), New Jersey had an outage that lasted all of about five seconds on Thursday afternoon. We're mainly on the PJM power grid, which serves NJ, PA, Maryland, DC, and some other areas.
Not all NY-area people want California and Seattle to fall off into the ocean; I personally love California and would rather be there.
Seattle, on the other hand . . . (shrug) And Texas, for that matter . . . let 'em secede, like they've always wanted to.
Plus, we'd be rid of Microsoft. And Bush. Then America might actually have a chance of being a real democracy. You know, like Canada (aka What America Was Supposed To Be).

Oh yes, Canada, a great democracy where the government can pressure private radio stations to take completely harmless radio shows off the air. Yeah...
