Let's say thousands of people in your state have lost their electricity due to a natural catastrophe. But you still have electricity at your house. Should you turn off devices that use alot of electricity for entertainment purposes (HDTV, video game console, portable DVD player)? Will that have an effect on the regaining of your neighbors' electric power or not?
You should turn everything off with the possible exception of one light so you know when the power comes back on. Even then, leave everything off for at least 15 minutes after power is restored. When power comes back on after a situation like this it often fluctuates and even turns off and on several times. You don't want sensitive things on during this power restoration stage because of this.
UPS provides power backup for a short period of few minutes only.We want DC power backup for max/entire duration of power failure.Any More Inputs?
A battery powered UPS can last more than "a few minutes" if the battery size is sufficient to provide power for a longer time.
What is the power draw on the unit to remain with power available? How long is the power outage expected to be? You cannot plan on a battery backup system to last "forever" and cover ALL power outage scenarios. Is the battery supposed to last an hour, a day or a week?
A 325VA system may indeed last a few minutes with whatever you have plugged into it - and if you can afford a 5000VA UPS, it will last 15x longer… And if you have the space and knowledge and requirement and skill, a 250 kV system will last WAY longer…

Most large scale systems would have a generator kick in - and you need to keep if fueled and in working order. You will want a serious power conditioner to protect the items using power from getting burned out by the surge when the generator kicks in.
Another option would be to have the battery array be sized to work for 12 hours - and a solar panel array that is designed to recharge the batteries during the day.
Large scale DC power systems, sizing, design and maintenance are not "do it yourself" homeowner activities. The carry a lot f power (enough to kill a person) and some serious training and experience is needed before taking this on. If you are that serious about this, there are many power professionals you can contact to help you through the maze of requirements.

WOW! That's quite a bit of electronics!
There's a persistent urban legend (or rumor) that goes around about letting certain electronic gadgets go through metal detectors. It is said that your laptop or iPod will short-circuit, or go through abnormal operations if you let a hand-held or free-standing metal detector pass over or through it. Is this true? Does something bad happen to any of these electronic gadgets pass through these security check points in the airports or malls?
Metal detectors work by sending electricity through a coil. All electricity passing through a wire causes a magnetic field. Magnets can damage hard drives but the amount of current used in a metal detector is very low so it's unlikely.
iPods that don't use a hard drive would not be affected in any way. Plus if that were true, there would probably be some kind of law suit if they damaged equipment but didn't put up a warning at the airports. I'd file that under the rumour category unless there is some kind of seriously malfunctioning metal detector out there.
I have so many that my cupboards are full, but it is so hard to part with them - even Oxfam doesn't want them when they are looking pretty well used!

Everytime I restart my computer, my gadgets change back.

HP Pavillion DV9000 series. 802.11g. I already tried changing the firewall settings, and even removing the firewall, but that did not fix the problem. The gadgets just say "loading…" or "not connected" or "no data returned." Thank you very much in advance for your help.
