We did the same thing with our dark fiber ring between our offices. We use Ciena cards for DWDM. It used to be 1G circuits, now we install 10G circuits. Soon we will be putting in some 40G cards which will give us 40G circuits, no digging in manholes.
Cool map but it is missing some. SEA-ME-WE-2, the Southern cross(listed on the side but not on the map) FIJI needs high speed internet too! The ADEN-DJI crossing the mouth of the gulf of Aden, I could go on. Point being that there is a LOT of undersea cables, this map shows some.
I disagree. Link speeds often go by 10's. 10Mb, 100Mb, 1Gb, 10Gb,100Gb. A large number of ISP's currently use 100Gb backbones.. Recently Veri*** offered us a DDOS solution where when a DDOS is detected, they offload the traffic onto their network which is 100GB and therefore can handle any DDOS attack.
the companion article only mentions hacking the tire pressure monitors which are wireless sensors in the wheels. it makes no mention of starting the car and driving away.
They are just inviting people to create a domain name with one that they didn't register. The fact that this article exist and therefore brings attention to what they are doing shows that they are making things worse. (assuming that they are doing this because they had issue with this in the past)
Remember in the 70s when they though dumping shredded tires off the coast of Florida would encourage corals to grow on them. The tires just swayed in the currents bouncing off the floor killing all plant life in the area. Wikipedia summarizes this environmental disaster: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osborne_Reef
It was my understanding from the Discovery channel episode of Mayday, that the 1982 flight mentioned in TFA had problems from static electricity. Apparently the friction caused by the ash moving along the fuselage caused static electricity to build up and interfere with the electronics.
I though this was just a glitch on Google's part:
Google issued a statement at its headquarters in Mountain View, Calif., that said: “Lots of users in China have been unable to search on Google.com.hk today. This blockage seems to have been triggered by a change on Google’s part.”
After redundant power, adequate cooling, 24/7 ops...etc. Neatness is the most important thing. Making each rack very neat with redundant power bars and individual patch panels is key for the long term. Its when you allow cables to run under the floor and between racks that things get out of control. We have an old timer that will yell at anyone who does anything messy and its works out very well.

Just checking out some of the sites I should of known about. Thanks USTR!!
