We just had like, a one-second blackout, which was long enough to have to restart my computers. If you noticed the servers were down, damn you're good :P
I did. 8)
I thought it was me, so I reset my modem. :P
Dumb nug. It's called an uninterruptable power supply. :P
It's called not having rich parents.
It's called a box w/ 15 minutes of power = relatively cheap. :P
It's called Western Union or FedEx.

Its just 30 bucks. There was one for 15, but it looked like a POS.
That's $30 more than I want to spend. And I'd need to get at least 2, because my router and servers are in a different room.
How much load can those batteries handle? And how long will the batteries last (The first thing to stop working on a UPS is always the batteries, and you're not saving money if you're replacing them every 6 months)? Also, there are safety issues; at work, we had a cheap UPS whose battery leaked and it started a fire (I'm told).
My parents have one of those for their computer, I don't see why they need it though they never use it. It's like $87 for it new, but they got it free when they purchased their computer. I want it, especially since I lost a HDD due to a power flash (just on/off). Stupid negros.

Don't you mean off/on?
My harddrive bombed when I shut down my computer in "the wrong way." The registry pooped out on me... it was a pain to restore.
But anyway -- I think UPS' are worth the extra money. Especially for servers. However, the power probably goes out a lot less often in iago's area than it does mine, so it's probably not nearly as useful for him. :)

It's went down twice since I've been hosting a server. And the first time was for about 6 hours.

Glad my own post already redeemed myself then! :)

AKA the unhappiest six hours of my life.
Hahaha, poor Darkness. ;_;
We know it bothered you oh so much.
On a side note, Boom! is a great System of a Down song ^^
Did it go boom again? 5 minutes of unable to connect. :P
My ISP is having issues. It's pissing me off because I'm trying to watch tv :(
Speaking of TV having problems, see the new thread I'm about to make.....
iago, you watch too much Tv. That is all, goodbye! (Waits for iago to respond with "You play too much WoW!"). Just kidding, btw. :-*
Haha, yeah. It's been screwy all day, but it's no problem. It's been very, very stable in the past so I won't complain a bit. :)
