by no means at all... it would however be kinda interesting if blaster 
was the
cause . I was only saying blaster info has my box stuffed 3 times full 
and wanna
hear about something else. The intent was to have a good conversation like
[EMAIL PROTECTED] has tryed to begin. =]

 Heh, I sure hope they weren't running any GNU software 
On anything important. 

yeah I would assume backdoors of any sort in SCADA based systems would
be something one would want to pay attention to... be it GNU or M$.
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?
Quite possible... the city that the plant supposedly hit said "what 
fire... what lightning?"

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. =]
