Oh, we equate power failure and rain here in Santa Cruz, California as well :) It is strangely comforting to know that we're all in the same boat, albeit for different reasons. -matthew kaufman Tycho Networks/DSL.net matthew@tycho.net Original message <01b401c08120$36173100$9eb431c6@oemcomputer> From: "Alexei Roudnev" <alex@relcom.net> Date: Jan 17, 23:28 Subject: Re: California regulators ordered rolling blackouts

There is big difference. In Russia, all data centers etc have a reliablr power and, if located in such region as Vladivostok, have independent power supply; power failure is common event (such as rain) for them and rollout blackouts does not interrupt their work; in California people used to believe to the good news and any failure became disaster.
