Why are graduate schools (i.e. PhD) filled with international students?
A University pays the same stipend to international students as it does American citizens. Internationals do get counted towards diversity, which helps ranking, but American citizens can apply for more fellowships/scholarships hence potentially becoming 'free' employees.
There's a lot of people here posting on empirical data, and while I feel bad for you if you went through a tough situation.
It's not "how much data could my network handle at peak" but rather "what is the maximum amount of information I can send through a network" where this 'maximum' is usually only attainable in ideal conditions.
The summary is somewhat misleading since "capacity" relates to "information", in the information theory sense and "data" relates to the idea most posters seem to have (i.e. the kbps you download at).
Also the arxiv.org paper is two years old but the work in Network Coding is very interesting and has been a very rapidly increasing field in the past years. I'm not from Caltech or M.I.T. but Medard is awesome and so is his work, just saying.
En este caso, reiteró que él ya tiene colocado el chip, al igual que los subprocuradores de la Procuraduría General de la República (PGR), y explicó que también tienen este sistema, estrictamente, el personal de mando superior y personal que tiene acceso a la información.
Roughly trasnlated it's not just him but also other high level officials already have the chip, although it doesn't state who. If you read further on he also goes to say he has had it for quite some time now but only recently with the ignauration of the Nationcal Center of Information for the Safeguard of Justice (Or something?) he revealed the chips existance.
Just would like to point that out, first didn't believe the story since I read the local newspaper daily (fine i read the e-version of it but it still counts) and I didn't find anything about this, and then looked on a national newspaper and found nothing either...wasn't until I google'd that I found this article and tought I'd bring it up.
I've been a long time reader of/. and even sometimes dabble in to see the replies of people, being a Mexican my attention was caught by this article, and more so by the replies. I'll try and give some more insight and correct some things.
1)We can't say "It happened in Mexico" because there are three different places called Mexico, one is the country, another is the state and a third one is the city, so Ciudad de Mexico is quite right.
2)Raided makes me think of swat teams jumping in from windows totting guns and helicopters flying overhead etc...(yes its your dammed media that makes me think this) an "arraigo" is actually just house arrest you...arraigo dosnt translate to raid TYVM.
3)A "Orden de cateo" is pretty much a search warrant which the officials didn't have while they searched through Grupo Mekong's stuff. It wasn't just the PGR that was in on this FYI also.
4)Mekong is under this supposedly because most of what they sell they sell to people that use this CDRs to burn copies of original stuff and sell them, so this compares as if in the U.S. Wal-Mart is investigated for selling the guns that the deppressed teen used to blast the heads off his classmates (what can I say I'm still fascinated by that stuff).
5)Mekong can account for every last piece of their merchandise with the required paperwork, the Officials cant account even for a search warrant.
6)Mekong believes the AMPROFON and APDIF (yes pretty much the mexican RIAA) is behind this, the same way it is in other countries.
7)Yes alot of mexican cops are looking for a bribe, they have a shitty salary and they dont ask for much 20-50 pesos (2 to 5 dollars) and theyll leave ya be, but it ain't everywhere and lets not compare Mexico's Police Force with the U.S. we ain't the racists ones, so there.
8)We're not a third world country you.... were a developing 2nd world country.
9)I know I had more but I just forgot.
Puh-lease don't make like Mexico is a shitty country, every country is shitty and we can debate upon that any freakin day of the week, and twice on sunday.

This was in a Mexican court. Have you tried reading the article before letting your bigotry come out?
Why is it that anytime MIT does something Slashdot reads "MIT does something" (see http://games.slashdot.org/story/12/11/07/1559210/mit-slows-down-speed-of-light-in-new-game) and whenever another university does something it is the generic "Researchers do stuff"?

According to this article on La Cronica
