News to me, but then again I haven't been paying attention to the news as of late. Is it really big news? As a child, I used to encounter black outs CONSTANTLY, some lasting several days. I myself actually find it odd that I haven't been in any sort of blackout for about 5 years now. Oh well, no power, they'll live.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
