Oh man, speaking of power outages. I get them a lot here. I think my file system/hard drive/other hardware has gone corrupt because that. Whenever I get into bed, I know for certain that my system will either A) Crash (Because of the failures) or B) Lose power and stay shut down for the rest of the night. Funny how it always happpens exactly an hour after I leave the house or fall asleep. And it's really frustrating, you know. Knowing that I cant trust my system staying up while I'm writing this email, because all the power outages have damaged my hardware. I live in a country with a really good infrastructure, no extreme conditions or weather whatsoever. So what causes the power outages? Unlike you guys, my power outages are caused by the people I live with. Yeah. They cause shorts all the time.
Shorts?... Real power shorts or just tripping the circuit breaker because they overloaded the circuit? Is this a house? If you have a free slot in your breaker box install a new 20A circuit and run it to your office area. Then buy some active PFC power supplies for your computers, this will protect them from over/under voltages as well as other power conditions that damage your equipment. It wouldn't hurt to get a line interactive, or online, UPS system and a whole house surge protection device too. -- BSD Podcasts @: http://bsdtalk.blogspot.com/ http://freebsdforall.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ freebsd-chat@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-chat To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
