If anyone noticed the website/teamspeak outage, it appears the datacenter is having heat issues, they are based in TX where it is supposed to be 101 degrees today and their air conditioning broke which is causing some havok.

:worry:

Fuck em, tell em to get that shit straight!

They have back ups for computers but they don't have a back up air conditioner? WTF!

It's Texas, if they had back up for the AC then there would be no room for the computers.

Everything is bigger in Texas.... except the AC.

Yet again, another reason we should give Texas to the mexicans.

Oh crap, you're busting on Texas. Better not let the TKB guys find out :lol:

waiting for ardamir to get pissy.

Hey! We took Texas from the Mexicans, we're not going to give it back! If we do we will have to return New Mexico, Arizona, parts of Oklahoma, and more. No more Las Vagas for us.

Thats not true... we own Texas, and New Mexico, Arizona, Oklahoma and the others...

We wouldn't be saying "Hey Mexico here is all that land back we took, we feel really bad about that". It will be "Well we like all this land we took... except this piece... these people are retarded or something."

j/k we all love Texas... gas is good.

Just for reference, Texas was not part of what we took from the Mexicans...the Texans fought their own war for independence (influenced by US "immigrants"), became their own nation and decided "We have no clue what the fuck we're doing" (a tradition they continue to this day) and joined the US.

An almost completely separate affair from the annexation that occurred after the Mexican-American war.

who the fuck cares how it happened?

Just saying we can give just Texas back. :p

According to the Texas history tought in schools in Texas: Texas didn't have independence until the Mexican-American War which the Texans started. Texans had been fighting for representation in the Mexican Government first then were taxed without representation. Something similar to what Britain did to the Colonies. From there Texans decided to leave Mexico and join the US. The first appeal to join the US was ignored because the land was still Mexico's. Then after countless letters and news articles describing the "atrocities" the Mexican solders were doing to former US citizens caused Americans to start marching in groups to help formor Americans. From there the war for Independence began, with most of the heros coming from the US. Once the war began, the US people cried out for the US Government to step in and help. It was then the Mexican-American War began, with the US army marching around Texas claiming half of Mexico along the way and sending supplies and advisors to the Texas to aid in their advance. If it was just for Texas, then the US would never had attacked any other Mexican territory. The fact is that the US was greedy and wanted something in return for going to war, thus it took all the land between their claims in the East and West.

Then after all is said and done the US again refused to take Texas in because they saw it as something that would hurt their relations with the Mexican Government by taking their land into the union so soon. So Texas was forced to create its own Government and it regularly requested to join the US.

Did you know that Texas holds the right to seperate itself into up to 4 states, as long as one of the is called Texas and one of the has the Capital as Austin.

I got a laugh out of that. They are having rolling brownouts in the north part of the state because of unseasonably hot tempatures.

We should give Florida to the Cubans.

I would love to be Cuban.. FIDEL is my HERO.

You damn red!

brownouts? Texans throwin the cow poo again?

hehehe

Whats funny is that we dont use oil for electricity. We use, as Stang said, cow poo. This electricity is in turn sold to other states, namely Florida and Washington.

I work in the general office for the largest Electric/Power company in the US (at least according to the list). We dont sell power to either.... as least not directly.

Florida has two nuclear power plants. I doubt we are buying much power from elsewhere.

Our company has 3 nuclear plants and about 20 steam stations. company. They have no nuclear and a good ahndful of steam plants. We are filing the paperwork now to build a 4th nuclear plant to be online by about 2015.

I also question the need for Washington to buy poopy-power as we have some of the largest hydro electric powerplants around (excluding Hoover dam) and astounding arrays of bird choppers too.

That and we have enough poo up here to supply poo power :).
