Since then, there seem to have been several intermittent power outages.

− | Also, for my tree, I need to add all of [http://genealogygems.tv/Images/arbol_genealogico_simpsons.png this], so it will be too large. Do you think you could make a special page or something with a very wide width so I can fit the tree on the page?

− | == Broken sidebar ==
| |
− | Although it's not a really big issue, on long pages, such as [[List of couch gags]], the sidebar stops at some point and you just see the background. Then, there is another part of the sidebar, it breaks again, and then the bottom of it is at the bottom of the page. Not sure if this is on any other pages but I'd guess other long pages like that.

In theory IPv4 has about 4 billion (4.3 * 10^9) addresses, but only about half of them are actually available for public use due to range restrictions for special-use addresses. And in recent years, IP address usage has skyrocketed, due in part to so many mobile devices being Internet-aware and therefore needing to use the IP protocol to communicate.
