The best security of all: L.A. Power outage unplugs Microsoft conference
As I mentioned to some colleagues, this is "the best security of all". Bwwhahahahaha. ;-)
Ina Fried writes in C|Net News:
Parts of the city[Los Angeles], including the location of Microsoft's Professional Developers Conference, plunged into darkness Monday afternoon as a result of a major power outage in the region.
The outage struck at about 12:30 p.m. and continued past 2 p.m. Microsoft group product manager Greg Sullivan was giving a briefing about Windows Vista when his Powerpoint presentation and most of the lights at the Los Angeles Convention Center went dark. "We haven't figured out a software solution to this one--yet," Sullivan joked.
"Damn Linux-based power supplies," one attendee remarked before it became known that the outage extended beyond the convention center.
A spokesman for the Los Angeles Fire Department told Fox News that employees of the Department of Water & Power had accidentally cut a power line and were working to fix it.
