I thought one had to use repeaters every once and a while (every few km?) anyway in fiber optics, which AFIAK work by doing just what this is talking about avoiding, translate light into electrical signals back into light.
The range for a modern 747 (which is what Flight 800 was) is about 8000 nautical miles TWA-800 was a 747-100, the oldest type of 747. It was 25 years old when it crashed in 1996, hardly a modern plane.
The -100 has a 6000 mile range. JFK-CDG is only 3600 miles, so you're right - it still didn't need full tanks.
the US military used to catch de-orbiting satellites using transport aircraft. Uhh not quite. They used to catch buckets of film sent back down from orbiting recon sats.

I remember the Megatron Transformers toy being banned here (NSW, Australia). My grandmother bought it for me from Queensland.
offers completely unbreakable encryption.
Is there such a thing?
No.
16 bits each for R, G, & B. Not 16 bits total. your 24 bit is what Photoshop calls 8 bit. Photoshop supports 32 bit, which would be 96bit to you.
Long Live TPB 2.0, whatever they decide to call it.

Here in the developed world, we can turn the power off at the wall socket.

I read the headline, and was trying to think why the military hospital was using an old network protocol.
AFAIK, all the GPS satellites were launched on Atlas or Delta rockets.
iiNet have said that NOBODY has EVER downloaded the free filtering software from their website.
If we can /. them from a link in a comment, they shouldn't be used by anyone to host pretty much anything.

Not real sane, if you ask me.
There was supposed to be an earth shattering kaboom.
My boss had a Sony laptop that wouldn't read TDK CDRs. It worked just fine with the Sony CDRs...

You know... I didn't actually see them until you pointed them out :(

And the USAF hit a target 350 miles up over 20 years ago, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASM-135_ASAT
The article says it terminates in Australia. SMW4 doesn't go to Australia, but 3 does.
Sounds like the SEA-ME-WE 3 cable
