Power Grid down.

Oh and in a surprising move. Canadian authorities claim it originated in New York. New York authorities claim it originated in Canada.

Thats a lotta States down? Workers Strike? Downed Lines? Solar Flares? Why do these things happen . . . hey how did you post this? (I assume your in the effected area?) . . . Laptop?

Guess I'm lucky. .

Well according to Yahoo, the Candians are now saying it started with a lightning strike at the Niagra Falls power plant (But of course they say it was on the U.S side).

~SDC~

I often wonder about the relationship between Americans and Canadians culturaly speaking . . . is this a hint?

Do you call a slap on the face, a hint?

And the national weather service has stated there were no strikes anywhere near Niagra falls.

LOL let the finger pointing begin!!!!

Sounds like now the Canadians have falsly blamed the U.S in three seperate ways. I think they're hiding something.

Just don't talk about Ice Hockey . . . please! LOL

This lil hockey game, it's the best game you can name...

Yay! There was looting in Ottowa!

Geography check Ottowa is in Canada?

Pointius I raised 'Icehockey' because it seems to me Americans and Canadians seem to argue about it. Apparently (as is my understanding) Canada 'own' the US in IceHockey . . . .

American teams wish they could compete in hockey. Why else would they be seeking out Eastern Europeans or Russians in such numbers? Us poor Americans just have to face the fact that in some sports we do not have an inherent advantage. But if you were to shift the topic to basketball, I am sure team USA could own the world.

Barf.

Is Stardock Central Chat functional yet? Anyone on? Anyone know?

Nope, it still don't work, to my knowledge.

not funny i got power back about 10 hours ago

Killa: Anyone that was forced to watch Andrew Gaze as it's big superstar in a sport, I'm sure would have the following reaction to that sport :VOMIT:

I don't know. I think that ownership is not as much as possibly it once was. Been a long while since a canadian team won the Stanley Cup.

Besides, The protests of some devoted hockey fans notwithstanding, Hockey is NOT the 4th major sport in the U.S. Even Major League Soccer out draws it on the tele.

Galciv Chat is back up. Not many chatters there yet.

Tried to upgrade to Drengin.net yesterday morning, and was unable to get it to work until tonight. Looks like Stardock is getting back online.

AND IT WAS THE YANKS FAULT! THOSE POOR MUCH-MALIGNED CANADIANS WERE RIGHT! HOW LUCKY IS AUSTRALIA NOT TO HAVE THE EVIL AMERICA RIGHT NEXT DOOR! I MEAN, WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE, SPITTING DISTANCE ACTUALLY. ALL OF THOSE CHEAP AMERICAN GAMES THAT NEVER ARE RELEASED IN OZ....oh

i thought it was pretty funny when that cnn reporter who was doing her shoot in times square was saying how important it was for new yorkers to conserve power, while behind her, you can see the huge video billboards and lighted advertisments that nobody bothered turning off. LOL

Now we get to play dueling finger pointing. The utilities will say it is up to taxpayer dollars from Congress to upgrade the grid and Congress will say that the private utilities should mind their lines. In the end, it will be a taxpayer bailout because the politicians will spin it that way to their re-election advantage. And then we have a FERC that is supposed to oversee this whole mess, but has no enforcement power to mandate changes. Curse Enron and the day it and its three Texas partners cornered the energy market in most of the USA.
