What do you do when the power goes out??

I just pull out my laptop

i get out and go skating (something I usually do late at night due to my homework load) and cause rukus on UCLA's campus. There's some good stops but on campus police or the CSOs will kick you out as soon as they catch you.

Go to turn on the TV to see what happened/when the storm will be over

 

[Geekbabe]

That hasn't happened here in a very long time, for what they charge us for power it's a darn good thing too !

I'm in the lightning capital of the world and we get hurricanes so I have a generator

 

[ElFenix]

if i'm asleep the sudden quiet wakes me up (5000 RPM 80MM delta), and usually i just go back to sleep. if i'm already awake, i eat the ice cream before it melts, or drink the beer before it warms up.

Usually, I go sit out in the hall of the dorm and continue studying until the auxiliary lights go off, then I study at my desk with my Mag-Lite jury-rigged to hang from the springs of my bed (bed is lofted above my desk). One time the power went out (unfortunately, it's becoming a recurring thing in this cursed dorm), we watched the Tomb Raider DVD on a friend's laptop. "Ghetto times call for ghetto solutions." That's basically become the motto of this building since the power goes out so regularly it seems.

<< I don't have a UPS >>

I have one for each computer and the cable modem.

 

[Kelvrick]

I have my computer and tv plugged into my UPS. If teh power should go out, the APC goes, BEEP BEEP and I just keep on neffing or CS'in. I then open my door to let in the poor souls without a UPS so tehy can watch me play games.

I can support my copmuter for an hour. That, plus I have 3 hour battery time on my laptop.
