Strange,but in europe and russia there is no so big blackouts(my friend had 360v in wallplugs,but it was locally caused by mistake with cables ;-). About Nuclear Plant: Whats,nuclear plant aren't connected with special buffer device and there is really some tanger for plant???????? I'm more worry about another things: If medical software are as buggy as USA power network(if not more buggest)i.e. one patient die on one system per 10 years,one per 3 day if we have 1000 patients,it's really bad. Medical soft are sometimes coded in C++(there was "first man killed by hackes " story in 1999 (or 2000?). How many patients killed by programmer...or more precisely,by manager that choose C++ for it)
