@boyi: Well, now, I wouldn't say that... Question (to all): why are the Americans always mocking the Canadians? For me that's one of the greatest mysteries of the Universe! Hey boyi, maybe I'm silly after all! :lol:

Why are the Dutch always mocking the Belgians?
Why are the British always mocking the Scottish and/or the Irish?
Call it friendly neighbor rivalry

New Yorkers blame New Jersey and Americans mock Cleveland since their river caught fire 30+ years ago.

Im glad things are getting back to normal. I was worried, 1st threats on Microsoft, a mega virus and power cut. I got paranoid thinking what if when everything reboots and gets a virus. Bit like Terminator 3. I watch too many films HaHa

wasn't it a cascade effect? its quite simple on systems which cant handle overload - i was reading in the paper that our country (UK) has hardly any reserve because of bad management/closures etc.. .and we are in for a winter of power cuts, this doesnt worry me unduely because i live near a few large power stations and power cuts arent uncommon, although they only last for a few hours max.
anyway - gone off the point. a cascade effect is where something happens to 1 plant so it has to be shut down, this causes a surge of demand on all the other plants, and if there is no reserve then the nxt plant will shut down automatic becuz of the overload and so on...
thats why the whole eastern board went down.

power plants are supposed to have capacity for spinning reserve and peaking power. therefore, should there be need for more demand (i.e. due to fluctuations in the system), reserve capacity should be readily available. i guess in this case, the overload proved too much to handle.

@ Boyi: The Cayahoga River was once so polluted that it actually caught fire! This was one of the events that led to the creation of the Clean Waters Act, a law the Bush administration has begun to dismantle, along with many other laws meant to protect the environment. Bush has made the US a land 4 the rich only. Poison the poor & the rest of the world!
