how many people pay for myspace?
also myspace is colo'd in/by Navisite , downtown LA
they are known for faulty power.... every blackout their UPS blows, and then the redundancy fails.
this time it was not just a power issue but a heat issue. it seems the rolling blackouts killed the HVAC and the servers at this colo (myspace's and our company's) by overheating them to reboot.

You want to know why pure-electric cars are incredibly unlikely to become popular? Answer: it's not possible to get a full battery charge in 2 minutes. When you run out of gas, you can fill up again in 2 minutes. Traveling cross-country, it simply is *not* acceptable to have to sit around for 3 hours at the gas station waiting for your car to get enough juice to continue. Nor is it likely to be possible to improve on this, until someone invents some radically new battery technology - no existing battery technology will allow charging at this kind of speed without the batteries exploding.
So we need a new battery technology which will, at which point Exxon-Mobil and their battery won't matter a damn. The world and their brother is working on that, because everyone knows that whoever gets better tech is going to be in the money big-time. Trouble is that nothing's coming along - the best bet so far is fuel cells, and we're back to fossil fuels again (or hydrogen, which will be produced and distributed by the same folks anyway).
But this is easy to solve, capacitors!!!1!
Caps are quick to charge/drain but you could "trickle" energy back into the batteries and don't forget you could always upgrade the alternator so that it generates more electricity..... Basically I don't know anything about cars or electrons and i got that one.
I remember reading somewhere that caps will one day replace batteries. if someone else has read that and knows a url please post, I'd google but i'm lazy (-1 something or rather)

Why inflate damned good performance into a preposterous claim?
