Guest RJK Posted August 30, 2007 Posted August 30, 2007 Re: Vista's ONE good feature Hello Kelly, "My" village seems hardly to have a week go by without two or three short breaks in mains power, all within the space of a few seconds or couple of minutes. I understand that it's often caused by something like a swan or other largish bird flying into power lines, out across the moors somewhere, and tripping out our local sub-station - which then tries to auto-reset I think it's up to three times - and if that fails on the 3rd attempt, then "they" have to send someone out to sort it out ! ....now for the conspiracy theory ! <VBG> .... several times during the past few months whilst talking to my brother in Bournemouth, and a couple of other people in local towns and villages, and during the conversation, we wandered onto the topic of Echelon and the "black rooms" filled with high speed equipment and software listening for keywords, ...so we shout a few words at each other for fun like "bomb" "blow up" "explosive" etc.- speculating that perhaps a software voice recognition little red blinky thing is blinking away and highlighting our phone call for closer scrutiny, ...all good fun, but, then, sometimes during the 'phone call, or very shortly afterwards, there's a power outage. ...so we occasionally speculate that the "closer scrutiny" is someone prodding a button somewhere to "get their own back," and give us a short power cut !! ....of course it seems ridiculous to suggest that the "powers that be" have the ability to do such things, ...the only other answer is of course coincidence ! regards, Richard http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECHELON http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Room_641A http://cryptome.org/echelon-60min.htm "Kelly" <kelly@mvps.org> wrote in message news:exlcB%23r6HHA.5096@TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl... > Your village called, Richard. :o) > > -- > > All the Best, > Kelly (MS-MVP/DTS&XP) > > Taskbar Repair Tool Plus! > http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/taskbarplus!.htm > > > > "RJK" <notatospam@hotmail.com> wrote in message > news:%23Uw$Nro6HHA.4348@TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl... >> NOT as fast as my XP Home does when there's a mains power cut ! >> >> ...mmm, ...that's a bit of a fib really, seeing as I have everything on >> UPS's :-) >> >> regards, Richard >> >> >> "Menno Hershberger" <mhersh22@nosuchplace.net> wrote in message >> news:Xns999BACEC2CDBAbutter@wefb973cbe498... >>> It shuts down FAST! >>> >>> -- >>> --- Long live Fat32! --- >> >> > >
