I did speak about the general idea people have been working on, not MIT in particular. The point is, this is not just "a glorified name for bus arbitrators" but a different concept...
The idea is, that this is not 'a' bus, but many of them, making up several possible alternative routes. A device deciding what route to take, is a router.
So what? If someone throws a rock into your windshield, you die. We still drive cars. Hell, if someone sticks a knife into you, you die. Everyone uses knives.
If someone wants you dead, there are a miriad ways to do it. The problem is not with those attack vectors, but with the fact, that someone is after your life. This is not a 'security breach', is is murder. And it takes a murderer to do it.
This is just another case of 'same old, but now on the intertubes/with a computer!!'.
As someone living 'overseas' I am not exactly relieved to hear that.
On the other hand I don't own a gaming console. But why do get the strong feeling they meant to say 'after PCs now consoles too'? Am I reading too much between the lines here?
You also need to buy and install RJ45 wall sockets, unless you want to let the cables dangle out of the walls all over the place.
I agree with using wired connections if you are in the construction phase anyway and you know where devices will be placed later on. But that will be at least as expensive as a normal home wlan router. And I would not want to retrofit a house with it.
And programming involves (or should involve) engineering skills. It is hard to find a subject in school, that involves actually making something. You have arts and then the rest is just theory and mostly passive. Even experiments are spoon fed and outcomes are predetermined.
In programming class, you will at least have an endproduct, something you made yourself. Most importantly it can stand on it's own. You know if you have succeeded. Not like some essay that is only as good as the teacher rates it.
I don't see how superconducting would help with cumputing. You want to send as little current into your cpu as possible. The current it does draw results from switching transistors and leaking current through a blocking transistor. The logic is based on voltage levels, not current. In an ideal (theoretical) cpu you would have distinct voltage levels over infinite resistors and instantly switching transistors, so that it works without drawing any current at all. Superconducting is the last thing you'd want.
It seems whenever I read an article about something new and great discovered by a telescope, it mentions one of the orbiting sattelite type telescopes.
I can't remember when I last heard from a ground based one, except for routine things as continuously sweeping certain areas of the sky for anomalies, like a space surveillance camera.
Now I don't follow astronomy closely, so my viewpoint is based on what of it gets through to general science news sites. But are huge investments in ground based telescopes like this still worth it compared to the alternative?

Or, you know... conscience.
At least if going by the quality of this guide's description.
'no fold the wings so that the wings come to the bottom and the bottom of the plane is quite slanted'
'now you have you're finished plane'
So what?

I see this increase in serverspace as a challenge for spammers to up their output.
Maybe we should all help them out a bit with some random noise?
Maybe they were using 'Utah' and 'the desert' synonymously.

Go and fetch the parts you are currently missing.
That 30 years figure must be outdated!
Oldsters are always at least 15 years older than I am.
It is swarming with ghost fish.
Equip your holy weapons, physical damage can't hurt them.

So it's just like YouTube access from Germany now.
Damn you chinese, stealing all our ideas! What's next, a note saying "GOMA" is responible for the blocking?
Most likely the child/nephew of some MS boss.
Can't be to careful when it comes to bird flu.
Many racing cars don't even have a steering weel, just a T shaped handle.
There is not much of an option then.
That's the source code before I run it through my self made, super optimized compiler.
I know there is a windows tool to get rid of it.
226 byte which I am sure include library calls, only runs on top of the multi megabyte of browser code, may use various other resources as well.
By this standard, I can write Tron in 1 bit.

There.
Call it the "Run Tron Bit". It runs on top of a full impletation of Tron.

I was assuming this was some sort of "know your enemy" move.
Gaining knowledge from the inside of the MPAA command chain should come in handy.
Still better than blowing off the bottom side.

Don't forget the research data!
It will come in handy for our first planetary invasions using space marines.
