One of those 'perfect storm' docu-dramas they show on Channel 5 covered this, but they mentioned an early warning satellite called SOHO that would allow the decision to be made to turn off the transformers (electrical as opposed to robotic) prior to the storm hitting us and thus preventing damage.
I could of course have the wrong end of the stick as my grip of science is a little shaky at best.
Paris 'cause she has a much firmer grip (though not of science).
Between an architect and an engineer, about ten grand normally. Add a meaningless acronym (MVP, MBE, STD etc....), an overbearing self confidence verging on arrogance, an inate inability to resolve the simpliest of problems and the sixth sense to get out before the whole shebang blows up. Slippery enough to crawl under a snake's belly wearing a top hat, I've cleaned up the mess that self titled 'architects' have created more than once.
Adopt an overbearing attitude, talk in meaningless techno babble to directors who are impressed by such nonsense, charge a fortune and blame any issues on configuration 'changes' made after you've left and you're set to torpedo any projects you choose to 'architect'.
Of course there might be some good 'architects' out there......... :-)
So that explains why I always lose at online poker, everyone else is cheating. Now I wonder if my inability to win in real life poker is down to my opponents wearing X-Ray specs.
I could probably win the World Series of Poker with my incredible poker skills if it wasn't for all these cheats.
