An early morning water main break by 60 Hudson, NY, NY threatened the telecom hub there. The building houses electrical gear in its basement, and so far their pumps are able to keep up. No outages reported so far.
More info here and a neat video here.
Update: crews are expected to dig up the streets over the next few days to fix the main.

Oh, and thanks for asking…Yes, it does come in electric! In the form of four nearly-100-kw electric motors for combined power of over 500 hp.
Crunchgear has all the info. Sorry about the off-topic post, but electric propulsion is a bit of an interest of mine. эротические лесбиянок мой муж занимается анальной мастурбацией

USB will charge all european phones
I whined. A few months ago, when I first heard that Europe was trying to force cellphone makers to standardize on one charger. Maybe bitched more than whined, but that’s just splitting hairs. I thought it was a bad idea. I, too, have the box-o-chargers, some of which dating back to the mesozoic era of charges. Rather, I bitched because I saw it as a superb opportunity for the bureaucrats to screw it up: USB was quickly becoming the de-facto standard, and we didn’t need some committee in Stockholm or Brussels designing some heptagonal “standard”. So here it is: Mea Culpa.
Europe, with their continental sensibilities, has reached an agreement with big names (including Apple, for those of us tired of the proprietary iPod connector), to standardize chargers to, you guessed it, USB. Assuming other countries jumps on the bandwagon, or at least don’t change their connector just for Europe, this can have a bit of an effect at the landfill: every year, 130 million of us get new phones. That’s 65,000 tons of junk. скачать фильм без регистрации трахни меня
Hopefully now we won’t have to throw away the chargers.
wordpress
I got an email about WordPress today. The summary: Wordpress, at least the public version, does not scale well. So, here I go…
I’m not sure it’s the ‘public’ version that doesn’t scale well. Some gripes with wordpress are really a LAMP stack gripe: Few complain about the L (Linux) and M (MySQL) parts of LAMP. But Apache can be a hog, and PHP has the same issues as any other interpreted language. Plus, no native db connection pooling (a downside of Apache MPM).
In benchmarks, WP out-of-the-box on an untuned server can serve an over 600,000 requests a day. I’d say that’s not bad for something that takes all of an hour to install.
If you want to scale beyond that, I don’t know of anything that can do so without effort. If you want over a million requests a day, you gotta pay someone who knows what they’re doing. (more on that later). секс сайты г нальчика
