This post is the full works: The title is ripped from Digg, readers are disputing its authenticity and SF residents are screaming left, right and center that a major power outage is to blame, not a drunk guy, for the downing of several major sites including Craigslist and LiveJournal. But I'm still not convinced. I still think the following quote by a source close to the company that runs the affected data center is reasonable:

QUOTE
Someone came in sh**faced drunk, got angry, went berserk, and fu**ed up a lot of stuff. There's an outage on 40 or so racks at minimum.

I mean that seems like a very plausable explanation, don't you agree?

It's funny how the controversy over if it was a drunk guy or a power failure is taking up headlines while all the stuff that actually can affect us goes unnoticed.

(But I'd still rather see the drunk guy excuse win :-)
