You're always going to be relying on someone else's something. Some data center provider (okay, so you might run your own) Some power provider Some Internet provider It's not like they have internet outages every week, and it's not like various organizations relying upon them haven't had outages for their own reasons. Technology breaks, which is why we RAID, cluster, backup, failover and farm our systems, devices and data centers.
