Are you saying that Open Source software can save us from power grid
"cascading failure"?  Heh, I sure hope they weren't running any GNU software
On anything important.  Actually I heard that it was a lightning strike in
Canada that hit a transformer and overloaded the grid causing the others to
Break and that's the problem.  Maybe it's really Canada aboot to start a war
eh?

Anyone wanna comment on SCADA and the "cascading failure" that happened 
today in the north east, like potential for a similar outage from a 
"cyber based" attack, etc? 

Sorry ... I need to read about something other than blaster before I go 
insane. =]
