Outage, part II
What do Barraux, St. Petersburg, Menlo Park have in common?
Regular power outages. We just had another couple. EDF, the French electricity company, is being privatized. They took some of the cash they got selling stock and put it in home appliance and electrical equipment manufacturers. Now they have to get people to buy a bunch of new fridges, washing machines, TVs, DVD readers, PCs, etc. So they're power cycling in out of the way places to cause extra equipment failures.
