Apparently, the blackout happened because....

[conuly]

...some idiot pressed the big red button you're not supposed to press.

And I think this has happened before. They really need to guard that big red button you're not supposed to press a little better - maybe have alarms go off if it's pressed or something.

They are putting alarms and anti-tamper devices on them.

Personally I find it rather amusing that this is how it went down :0)

it already has the plastic closey device (like thay have on thermostats) and a Big red sign that says don't touch.

I say slap a camera right over it and maybe a few rabid attack poodles.

..and add the word 'again' don't touch this button again

What's the saying -- you can never make anything foolproof, for the world will always invent a better fool. Something along that line.

That fact is, it was a complete and utter idiot who hit the BRB. There's only so much that can be done technologically -- an idiot will *always* triump!

And everyone needs to be told "Do not touch the red button. The shiny, red, candy-like button"

Oh, Stimpy, you eeeeeee-diot!
