Because of some power fKitten Yiffer, the wikipedia servers are down.

Yet they say "view our pages from Google's cache in the mean time". Would they have said this had they not been planning to merge? ;D

It really makes you wonder though.

Wikipedia's archive is 170GB.

Google caches just about everything it sees, including the code. Wikipedia just uses PHP to generate the layout.

Google's servers must have like 250TB hard drives.

LiveJournal also went down not all that long ago due to a power issue.

I guess it's one thing that no network is really immune to?

Makes me wonders where these servers are? I know certain areas of the U.S. are having severe weather issues

Most big business/networks which have servers usually use generators if the power goes out.

No, it doesn't need the entire PHP system on it's databases to cache everything. If the cache is only what google sees, then all it needs is the HTML for the page, which is what PHP returns.

Have you tried looking at caches of our own board?

Stop conspiracy therorising These things happen all the time
