I wouldn't've noticed at all if some smacktard had plugged my UPS in right. I knew I should've checked when they moved my system.

quote:NEW YORK (Reuters) - A massive power outage swept across swaths of the eastern United States and Canada on Thursday, leaving sections of New York City, Detroit, Cleveland and Toronto without electricity, witnesses said.
Subways in New York came to a complete halt, and power was out at all three of the New York area's major airports. Commuter train service also came to a halt, and cellular telephone service was disrupted.
CNN reported a fire at a Con Edison power plant in Manhattan.
The Oyster Creek nuclear power plant in Forked River, New Jersey was not functioning, according to people familiar with the plant's operation.
A spokesman for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security said they did not know the reason for the power outages, but said the department was looking into it.
Now see, they change those reports constantly, you you really need to quote them, otherwise when people look at all the information, they'll wonder what you're talking about.

I just talked to a lady in Kalamazoo who said they had about a 30 second outage, but that they're back up now.

I have this really bad feeling that if they don't get back online by nightfall, there's gonna be trouble...

Man, where is that thread that someone did parodying the North Korean nuclear issue with South Korea's "reaver drop"? Posts: 622 | Registered: Dec 2001

That's what I thought when I read the title. I was wondering why you were talking about archons...

Dude, there is nothing more funny or good-feeling than seeing a chain of fluffy archons filing into an enemy base.
