"most states are enlisting the assistance of hunters to provide brain stems of deer, to test for the disease. The purpose of this study is just to determine how far geographically the disease has spread. It is not yet understood how the disease is spread or if it is a threat to cattle or humans.
What they failed to mention is that by having the hunters collect the stem cells they can also find out if it's a threat to humans. Good thinking!
the future of humanity hinges on this being a delightfully entertaining method of pointing out the inadequacies of our nation's patent system. oh please oh please let it just be social commentary in patent form....
While I have to admit 2.56 Tb/s is darn impressive the article doesnt mention if this can be applied to currently existing fiber optic networks.
After having invested millions in new fiber and equipment for my area I seriously doubt my provider (twc) would be willing to just jump up and make large (read as: expensive) modifications. Especially if our network is "just good enough".
Advances like this are interesting but how long will it take to "filter down" to us consumers?
