-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Why are you guys even worrying about power??
I know it was a power issue that caused the outage, but the significant fact to be discovered in all of this, is that there is this great big stinking single point of failure. All it needs is somebody to come along with a backhoe, or to do some arc welding, and it won't matter how much you have backed up your power then. The fact of the matter is, that the entire STEAM system needs to be distributed geographically so no matter what the weather, the power, the Internet conditions, or whatever of the 1001 things that can go wrong that could go wrong, more to the point, it is the things you don't think of that tend to get you, at least Valve will have covered their bases as best as humanely possible.
