Comment Underground lines FTW (Score 1) 168

My neighborhood (suburb of Washington DC, near NASA Goddard) has underground utilities.
We have lost power for maybe 12 hours total over the past 30 YEARS.
When there's a lot of wind and rain, we sometimes lose power for seconds, maybe tens of seconds. Outages of more than a minute are extremely rare.
That's why the FIOS box, the routers, and the most important desktop are on small UPS units - primarily to avoid losing work.

Nearby neighborhoods with above ground lines lose power approximately annually, sometimes for days.

3. Download it off a torrent site, wait to get threatened by the copyright owner, show them proof that you purchased the product. If they sue you anyway, counter-sue both the copyright owner and Sony for conspiracy to defraud. Ask for seven figures on account of their vexatious litigation.

We have to both be thinking of TNG and later because in TOS the primary interface is physical controls and most readouts aren't screens.
