We had a 12 year old SUN UNIX server at work. We had to nurse it just to keep running. Things get old and they must be updated.

Excuse me for asking a silly question: You mean that those sites don’t have axillary power backup? Like a diesel electric generator? Something doesn’t sound quite right.

Why was this leaked? A reason to stop that program. Having problems so 0 does away with them?

President Obama was briefed this morning on a power failure at F.E. Warren Air Force Base in Wyoming that took 50 nuclear intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), one-ninth of the U.S. missile stockpile, temporarily offline on Saturday. Did he smile?

Reading the article, it was not a power failure. They had communications network problems and could not isolate the offending launch control center, so they took the entire squadron offline and brought up LCCs one by one.
This is troubleshooting.
I suppose they could have shut them off one by one, but since all 50 missiles were FUBAR, the approach of shutting them all down first may have brought more of them back on line faster.

remember when the "squirrel chewed through a cable" in Connecticut, shutting down the NASDAQ stock market a few years ago.
Nah, nobody remembers that.

a power failure at F.E. Warren Air Force Base in Wyoming that took 50 nuclear intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), one-ninth of the U.S. missile stockpile, temporarily offline on Saturday. Not possible. Someone is making a mountain out of an ant hill. There are so many redundant backups on power and communications that this scenario is impossible. Yes, I worked with SAC for many years and we tested each backup routinely.

I guess I don't get this, and it doesn't sound right...
The place I work has a server room 2 power circuits, each with its own battery backup, which will allow the systems and air conditioning to run for about 20 minutes. But after 10 seconds a natural gas generator kicks in and stays on for 2 minutes after building power has been restored.
I find it had to believe that a power failure would affect so many silos and command centers.
