The location in WA is pretty damn close to the tropic.
The SKA guys have a pretty concise list of site requirements (See http://www.skatelescope.org/the-sites/) - officially they care about noise floor, ionosphere/troposphere, climate, comms, costs, long term prospects of the noise floor.
If I were selecting the site I'd care more about a location being politically stable.
When talking about radio stuff; be careful about using the word 'bandwidth' when you really mean 'link speed'.
Re your question; the longer the distance, the more power is lost between the transmitter and the receiver. As radio waves propagate through free space; they attenuate.
With wireless bridges; they'll normally have a power vs speed table. For instance, for a Cisco 1400 series bridge:
The original blackbox recorders (the tape based ones) used to use an endless spool of tape; it would record for around thirty minutes before overwriting itself. By not having a battery backup, the tape would stop as the plane hits the ground.
It's not a perfect system. I recall hearing of a few crashes that didn't interrupt power to the blackbox and all of the relevant data was overwritten with fresher post crash stuff.... They probably got a whole bunch of firemen swearing or whatnot.
For those suffering:
* Make solar energy affordable
* Provide energy from fusion
* Develop carbon sequestration methods
* Manage the nitrogen cycle
* Provide access to clean water
* Restore and improve urban infrastructure
* Advance health informatics
* Engineer better medicines
* Reverse-engineer the brain
* Prevent nuclear terror
* Secure cyberspace
* Enhance virtual reality
* Advance personalized learning
* Engineer the tools for scientific discovery
I suggest adding an item about faster web servers.
Very; he is especially qualified to comment about Internet affairs.
Elton demonstrates many hacker type qualities. Especially his code re-use skill. He was able to use the same bit of code for songs about two different celebrities that had almost nothing in common. Brilliant!

Hey - want a RIM job?
I grant it's got a certain ring to it, but probably not worth shifting country.
Have they employed a bunch of guys that used to calculate the 'street value' of drug seizures?

I just tried it. It took a couple of tries to register but it works great.
Why does everyone distrust police equipment?
Could it be that the ability to cook caused the odds of reproduction to increase?
Outstanding! I can sell my oil in Euros and still get my fix of Slashdot...
Did you write it all in your own time?
I thought CSIRAC did it first in 1950: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CSIRAC

With wireless bridges; they'll normally have a power vs speed table. For instance, for a Cisco 1400 series bridge:
6 Mbps: -83 dBm
9 Mbps: -83 dBm
12 Mbps: -83 dBm
18 Mbps: -82 dBm
24 Mbps: -79 dBm
36 Mbps: -76 dBm
48 Mbps: -72 dBm
54 Mbps: -70 dBm
From that table, it can be seen that the bridge receives a weaker signal; it must slow down.
So; distance and link speed are closely related.

The real gaffe: getting your fashion advice from Slashdot...

Like with DES; double ROT13 produces weak cyphertext. You really want to go with triple ROT13.
Does the XOR key change, or is it common to all of the disks these guys make?
Your grammar sucks. There is no apostrophe in Nazis!
He also spelled "gizmos" wrong...
