Space near a blackhole can be distorted in a way that causes the space to move faster than c, keeping light from escaping. This can cause light to move backwards relative to an object. Relative to the space that the photon is in, it is still moving forward at c.
Gravity is less than or equal to light. Earth will continue to orbit where the Sun was for 8 minutes. About the exact same time that the light disappears, we will suddenly start moving in a strait line again.
I was just watching a PBS Nova on quantum stuff and one of the more recent tests involved entangling two quantum photons, sending one of those photons several miles away, then entangling the local-photon with another non-quantum photon, causing the local-photon to take on the opposite state of the known-photon, causing the remote-photon to take on yet that photons opposite state, effectively re-creating the exact state of the known-photon, instantly, but destroying the known state of the local known-photon.
This caused that state of a known photon to be transferred faster than light, but did destroy the known state of the original local known-photon in the process. The Doctor said based on this finding, we can transfer information faster than light, but not without destroying the original.
This experiment has been repeated by the same team several times and seems to be very hard to pull off, but is getting setup to be reproduced by others.
That is unless a leading Doctor in quantum physics on the PBS Nova channel is not a reliable source and assuming it's reproducible by other teams.
I can't tell the difference between 18, and 20...what's the point of these fast track updates?
Many small updates allows them to keep adding features without causing huge breaking changes. It gives everyone enough time to implement the new ways before the old ways are dropped.
Using fiber, bandwidth to the last mile is virtual free, but the connections are not. What does this mean? It means user usage does not affect costs on the last mile.
Well, what about the trunk, where they do have to pay for bandwidth? That bandwidth is relatively cheap and is much cheaper than the cost of installing the last mile. Still, bandwidth is not an issue.
Apples and Oranges. Datacenters pack much higher densities and offer much more redundancy and management and awesome SLAs. I've seen one DataCenter advertise that they were connected to three Internet Exchanges, and that they connected to thousands of different networks directly. They per Mbit cost for that kind of bandwidth would be much higher, but you gain quality.
UDP hole-punching only works with certain NAT setups, not all of them. NAT is not a standard, so each company is free to implement it however they want.
The Internet is a mix of networks, including the one you are on. Why do you think they're called "Internet Service Providers"? They provide the Internet, or at least claim to.
Yes, lets put more load on the core for the sake of letting people be lazy and not upgrade. NAT isn't even a standard, it's a "implement how ever you want and hope your customer's don't complain".
IPv6 doesn't not pass over legacy, it gets routed to legacy. The core of the Internet has been IPv6 for the past 5+ years and a large portion of the Internet was IPv6 for the past decade.
ISPs are the ones who have been slow to upgrade, not the core, and ISPs are the ones that would have to upgrade to your new idea. See the problem? The people who are not adopting the upgrades are the ones you are targeting to upgrade.
Several case studies have shown that CGNAT is almost as expensive as IPv6 up-front, and the operational costs of CGNAT is much much higher because of management, engineering, and customer support issues.
Those case studies assumed that most ISPs have modern ADSL2, DOCSIS2/3, or FiOS. Any ISP still using antiquated technology would not have the benefit of their equipment supporting IPv6, just not being configured.
UPNP is a Hack to make NAT work and has no authentication, meant for small networks where you trust all of the clients. Anyone can request ports open for anyone else. It would be a security nightmare and be easily abused.
No one will notice that Skype, xBox, or their PS3 broke. Nope, never. Before you say these things work behind NATs.. Yes, NATs with uPNP, CGNAT does not support uPNP for obvious reasons.
They shouldn't be able to call it "Internet" access if it's not a public IP address. This means they should not be classified as an ISP because they would not be offering Internet access as their primary service, just a crippled gateway to the Internet.
Transferring "blocks" based on hashes, not files. You don't need to re-transfer the entire file, just the entire block. You know, just like how BitTorrent works.
Anonymous data can still be uniquely identified. It is anonymous so long as you can't identify the original person. At work we "anonymize" user data all the time by removing their names/etc and replacing their non-anonymous identifiers with anonymous identifiers.
At least Intel spends about 25% of its revenue on R&D. That kind of justifies the 70% margins. Actually, Intel shows 58% gross margins in Q2 2012, but that is still really high. http://www.intc.com/financials.cfm
50% of technology is about communications, the other 50% is about computation. Someone getting in trouble for communications sounds like it's right in line.
Until the group spontaneously forms, then they are part of a group. Actually, by definition, they are part of a group, they are part of the 18-45 age group which automatically makes them part of the militia. Just not a well-formed cohesive group.
Militia: all able-bodied males considered by law eligible for military service.
Seems if you're eligible, you're part of a militia automagically. In general, a militia is a ad-hoc group, not a formal group. In other words, you don't need a card.
If the US military was ordered to move in an kill large amounts of US citizens, I would hope citizens being ill-equip would be the least of the problems. Before you mention Kenn State, that was an unruly mob that was actually a threat to the local populace.
CO2 levels will come down naturally. As levels rise and temps rise, more and more CO2 will get trapped by dissolving rock through acidification, which will eventually scrub our atmosphere of much CO2 and kill off the plants.

My ISP just installed a UPS along with the fiber ONT. They said about 12 hours of run-time.

I wonder if network bandwidth and latency is creating issues with Amdahl's law and the type of useful algorithms.
Gotta love your ISP throttling.

Well, what about the trunk, where they do have to pay for bandwidth? That bandwidth is relatively cheap and is much cheaper than the cost of installing the last mile. Still, bandwidth is not an issue.
But ISPs are changed on peak bandwidth, which has been shown to not be highly affected by "high bandwidth users".
A user doing 100Mb/s from 12am-8am costs less than a user doing 1Mb/s from 5pm-11pm.
