    To be fair it did take four years to connect those seven telescopes at a cost of £8.1 million. Granted those figures don't really relate to laying fibre for domestic internet but needless to say it isn't a quick or a cheap endeavour.

  5. Good article and GREAT PICTURES of the Phoenix by blind+biker · · Score: 5, Informative · on NASA Phoenix Mission Ready For Mars Landing

    I am sure a lot of slashdot readers are interested (I know I was) in how does this beast actually look like. So here's a very good article on the Phoenix lander with a couple of fantastic artistic concepts based on the actual Phoenix.

    In the Valley of the Kings, there lies a Great Glass Pyramid. If you'd rather something that wasn't being used, the tower hasn't housed an accelerator for over fifteen years. Problem solved.

    Can you give me something at least a little challenging? A canal that runs uphill, a viaduct that can span a couple of cities in an earthquake zone with a 100+ year warranty, a Michelangelo-style work on the inside of a glacier - you know, something hard. Something that might be a bit more challenging than merely keeping something safe from the elements. Unfortunately, those were all done in that general area, so you'll need to pick something else.
