They are hindering in all sorts of ways. The nice HiBis rural plan let them put many of the new startup wireless guys out of business. The paperwork to get a carrier license (just so you can run a WIPS) is thicker than a phone book.
This rumor? No, a tier 1 telco won't pay for bandwidth. They pay for ports in an exchange and that port cost is a fraction of the very expensive router they get to use. The cables between the US and Australia carry the same number of bits every second if they are all zeros or warez. The problem is most Aussie telcos think they are tier one when they are 2 or even 3.
I have an unlimited plan (it cost me over 1 grand a month) but I can pump hundreds of gigs over it every month. I fought with every telco offering service until a few gave in. It can be done but its getting cheaper and cheaper.
The only problem with your low density keeping the price up theory is that where Australia is populated, it happens to be at the sweet spot for density for telcom rollout. Sydney and Melbourne both now have more people that Chicago and both cities have a much higher density than most US cities.
The problem with expensive stuff in Australia is a result of anti-competitive upstream providers and paperwork that is just nasty.
You can get a single megabit for under $700 and if your looking for more than 10, you can get it for AU$200/megabit.
Telstras list price (as of last week) was still $18,000/mo.
I can get cheaper access in New Zealand than in Australia but all that is back hauled to Sydney before it hits the US so I don't buy into the expensive international transit. Besides most of the pacific links are far from capacity and the capacity goes up every year.
What I've noticed is bandwidth to smaller users is increasing in price in Australia.
I think if I was paying them 10 to 25% of the millions they collect, they could at least get a professional to build their web site.

It doesn't support drives bigger than 128 gig on a sparc based x1 made by sun and less than 2 years old. It also doesn't support drives bigger than 128 gig on a v-100 which you can still buy new. The serial port drivers still have kernel thread dead locks that have been there since the 1st versions of solaris 2. There is still lots to be fixed in solaris.

However sun Zones require installing an complete OS in the subdir or telling LiveUpdate to do something unusual (which I haven't found any documents about). You can't just copy the tools you need to/home/jail/sbin and start up a new jail like you can with other OSs.

The problem is people tend to issue their entire question pool at once so the bad guys get all the questions and answers early on. The trick here is start out slowly and progress when you have problems and not before (depending on your risk level) 1) give everyone the same question. 2) then change the answer order 3) then change the answers 4) then change the question(s) 5) make sure the same IP address block only gets one set of questions 6) find something different

Solaris 10 has some major changes that I can't audit. That means its not going on my production systems ever.
I've been recommending top of the line sun gear from the days of the 4/110 (1987) up to a e10k.
Their current junk (services and zones) is way past the line. I could cope with pipes in/etc (ok so I can still DDOS the system because some moron at sun hasn't figured out/etc is not the place for pipes.)
What I can't deal with is binary file that change with every boot like the new services stuff. How do I audit that? If someone pokes junk into it, how do I know the system is running stuff when I'm not looking (the cool thing about the new replacement for init/inetd/cron is that you can start programs when no one is logged in). That is a result of a recent com-sci moron that thinks "data hiding" is a good idea. This is init under unix which is one of the only true sandboxes. I look at the new services as adding the windows registry to Solaris and thats a root kit script kiddies wet dream.
The other sandbox is the partition table. Too bad they haven't figured out IDE disks yet either. Try putting a a disk greater than 128 gig in a sun box and write to all the sectors. Come on guys, track/sector/head went away a LONG time ago. If your OS people don't know that, please fire them.
The new zones stuff takes something on the order of 2000% of some resources compared to jails from bsd when fully setup (Thanks to their stupid update system which you can't get away from. I want a jail with only a program that can be run from init).
Sorry guys but all my boxes are scheduled for freebsd which means I don't need your hardware anymore. My tests so far show its faster than Solaris 10 and much faster than Solaris 8/9 and has all the features I need.
If you get that sort of review from someone that still runs a 1989 hardware because its sun means its time to unload the sun stock. The '89 box still runs sun bsd unix so I'm back to where I started.
My research on Solaris 10 says they are deader than BSD. And I did unload my sun stock.
The DOJ has no balls unless they are dealing with individual people and MS isn't people so its business as usual.
If the DOJ had a clue they would have split up MFST into two+ companies that each had an OS and had to compete with each other. And the company with Word would be competing with the company that had Excel and they wouldn't be allowed to talk to each other except via a public blog. And most of the game divisions would all now be working for different companies.
But the current DOJ people never bothered to look at the Standard Oil case or were bought off.
The cool bit about that is all the junk at the start of the file will make sure that the most common base 64 encoded tokens aren't the smallest bit patterns so your end up with a larger file than if you had just gziped the binary in the 1st place.
yes you can . it's simple . do it like you would in actual code . . you don't really think memory has magical trees in it do you? . . . it doesn't . you can create trees in CSV
dots optional... I've been using computers which seem to have linear runs of memory for a long time and I don't have any problem telling them to keep stuff in all kinds of complex structures that don't fit how stuff is in memory. Why should a file be any different? The above format is how my todo list program has been keeping things for over a decade.
You tend to only get the bends when you exceed two atm difference in pressure but there are cases at shallower depths but common dive tables only start about 1.3 atm (40 ft down). Modern space craft are slightly lower than 1 atm and Apollo was like a 1/3 atm but with pure o2. People also have a wide variations of what causes them problems and what doesn't and that is something they will find out early on in astronaut training. 16,000 ft is about 60->70% of a normal atm.
Its not the humans getting too hot thats going to be the problem.
Many fish in the Pacific ocean hatch out of eggs on the great barrier reef. That reef's eco system is tired into specific temperature bands and certain fish breed in specific parts of it. There is a very delicate balance in the food chain that does go away with slight changes. The last 10 years has seen a major drop in the number of young fish that hatch and that means there are fewer fish in the ocean to feed humans.
Also don't forget water. If you increase a forest's temperature by about 5 degrees, you double its risk of forest fire. If the risk is high enough you end up with a former forest that can't recover after fires. Forest hold a massive amount of water and are a major part of the local water cycle.
The areas you mentioned can only support that many people because of good transportation and the fact there is a huge river to pump water from. The great salt lake is getting much smaller very quickly and its local evaporation and local rain is a source of a great deal of the ground water. That local water cycle provides a buffer that helps keep the climate bearable.
That plan in Japan is available in places that have lower population density than most Aussie cities so your argument doesn't hold.
They guys in Japan are putting fiber in at a rate of less than US$.2 per meter. The end points are cheap too. They tend to use a version of PON which tends to be 622mb/155mb shared with upto 32 other people.
The last I knew, the triple point for blood was close to the triple point of water. That means you have to get a very good vacuum. Fragile lung tissue can hold something in the order of two atmospheres for most people (some its as low as.1 which is why you need to exhale while ascending when diving). Maybe you forgot about membrane pressure.
The guy who taught me most of this stuff was a life support system division head during the days Gemini and Apollo.
If your thrown in space, the water in your pores will evaporate and cause frostbite in every pore of your body. The water in your eyes will do the same. As will your nasal cavity and sinuses. So if you can provide a low pressure containment for your head and a way to keep the water in your skin from evaporating quickly, you won't suffer any long term effects.
If you read official NASA stuff, you will find that the space suits are there to keep the guys warm in the cold of space. That is total BS. Put a self warming thing in a perfect insulator and what happens? It gets hot. It turns out that since the Russians haven't figured out how to make peltier effect space suits, that many of the details of the Apollo era suits are still secret. Even some of the details of early astronaut almost dying from dehydrating in their suits haven't been released
One of the other things is that your blood will boil or explode in space. Thats not true either. All thats needed to protect the skin is a thin layer of something like a cheap wet suit. There have been studies that show thick rubber gloves would work fine for the pressure if there was a way to get rid of the sweat.
The real mechanical problem is keeping the head protected along with proper containment of everything the body is trying to get rid of.
Thats because your "drivers license" isn't a license. Its a certificate of license. Your license to drive is simply permission to drive given by the state. The plastic card is just a certificate saying such a thing. Your real license is some bits in a computer at the state DMV.

Trees are about 70% water. How many tons of trees are there per acre? Thats a serious amount of water.
