Depends how long you can shut it down for. Even if only a few hours, an _unexpected_ shutdown of water across an entire city would certainly cause a panic with people descending on any stores open to buy water.

They tried offering an ad service called iAd that would do things the "Apple" way. No one used it.

I'm not a rubyist, but the latest Docker Preview has been working great for me.
