The article says it was fired by methane. I know it's frustrating to see new transport technologies being developed around fossil fuels, but methane has the advantage of being able to be harvested from non-fossil sources.
Why does the summary say New York to Tokyo, when the article says New York to Sydney in two hours?
My guess is to appeal to the neckbeard otakus who read this site, but still it's a bit of a shame that what is said in the article needs to be obscured.
ADSL2+ can deliver the 20mbit downlink component, and with Annex-M up to 2.6mbit upload.
I'm sitting on such a connection right now, here in Sydney. If the U.S. had line sharing legislation you could too!
Line sharing is a fantastic thing. It allows small ISPs to have their own DSLAMs in exchanges, while using existing copper networks to people's houses.
Sure ADSL2+ is not anywhere near as good as FiOS can be, but it is far more open and competitive. I have the choice of at least 10 ADSL2+ providers on my exchange (Internode, iiNet, Telstra, Primus, NexTep, TPG, Optus plus all the ISPs that resell Optus DSLAM space).
I like the idea of nearby major institutions (like universities, companies, government agencies, etc.) having high-powered, free wireless access for their neighbours to access.
I live within WiFi range of about three universities, four with 802.11n, and none will let me have access.
I'm a uni student, I (will) pay my HECS debt, why can't I access these networks just because I'm not a student of one of [/these/] universities?
If monopoly telecommunications networks are properly regulated by the government, then this problem goes away.
Look at the OPEL WiMax network proposed for providing broadband to rural areas of Australia. Wholesale access is mandated by the government, and hence prices will stay low due to practically unlimited equal competition. Optus are building the network under this presupposition, with the objective of offering decent broadband to areas not economically feasible to be covered by ADSL2+ networks - not to make grotesque amounts of money (like Telstra's 850Mhz HSPDA UMTS network that has/will have a similar footprint, but charges $100/month for 1GB at 6mbit theoretical max speed).
Exactly.

But it's accepted by Christians to be like 6000 years old. Seriously. They think that dinosaurs and humans coexisted.
In Australia the shortest day is about a third of the way into winter.
GPS navigation doesn't need to know the time, but the second use of GPS is providing accurate time - and that does need to know the real time.
In actual fact this works, but because you posted in a topic you moderated in, the moderation is negated.
Obligatory if you used macs you wouldn't need to worry
"It might actually wake up some people to the NEA threat to our own planet."
This is the part of your post I was referring to.
Did you miss the part where they're comparing the size of the impact to an impact that Earth already had?
Haha this got modded down before 'First Trout' did

insightful commentary itt
It's basically just as bad.
If so, I agree wholeheartedly.
Oh I'm glad
Holy shit is this real?
20MB per hour - I could manage better on dial-up. God American broadband is terrible.

I work for a computer finance company, and we get quite a few angry calls every day complaining about Vista.
