Yeah, the wimax service used to be pretty good here in Melbourne but my wife has changed to 3G because it has become almost unusable in the last six months or so.
Say your business is in Melbourne and your workers could telecomute from Marysville. At the same time other workers can do the same work for one third the price in Mumbai. Who do you choose?
And the labour to pull fibre into the home. Labour is expensive. And you have to maintain it. Thats labour as well. Then you need a network terminator in the home. Thats money. With wireless the consumer pays for the network terminator. Its in their ipad or whatever.
Add to this that the estimate of how many towers would be required is insanely higher than there currently is (some estimates put it at 1 tower per street).
But that sounds perfectly okay to me. Pretty much every intersection in the Melbourne CBD has microcells mounted on traffic signal pylons. Why not do it in the suburbs? Cheaper than pulling cable from the street into houses.
TFS and TFA refer to the "University of Victoria" which could be the same as "Victoria University" but the announcement was made at the "University of Melbourne" which leaves me confused.
Natural disasters, resource management, life sciences and e-health will be keyed as high priorities for a new global research and development lab to be opened at the University of Melbourne by IBM.
The core concept of chiropractic, vertebral subluxation, is not based on sound science. Research has not demonstrated that spinal manipulation, the main treatment method employed by all chiropractors, is effective for any medical condition, with the possible exception of treatment for back pain
Yeah I have two. One for the heater and one for the hot water system. There are many in public places too, often the heavy 15A type. Many are locked but some are not.
Out of curiosity, is the sound barrier here defined as the speed of sound on earth, or the speed at the temperature of air 23 miles up?
Mach one is determined by air pressure primarily and it does depend on altitude. Wolfram won't give me the answer below 0.1 bar of pressure. At 50000 feet the speed is pretty much the same as at sea level. I think 50k feet will be the point where the guy in free fall really starts to decelerate.
Yeah thats the word but now I am thinking in terms of jumper cables with hooks on the end and a snare built out of 40mm pipe with a cable running along the inside. If you can bang in your own ground you might just need to snare the active. Design it for a fast charge. Could be the breakthrough that electric vehicles have been waiting for!
The electrons were kidnapped, imprisoned and for all we know used for immoral purposes by being forced to download 4chan. Thats no way to treat a bunch of 14 billion year old atomic particles. The UN should so something about this. Please, won't anybody think about the fermions?

Wot?
Yeah the only time it made sense was at my previous Government job where we were absolutely forbidden from buying new computers. No exceptions.
But we could fix existing computers. Sometimes some pretty major parts failed, too.
By going with Newegg and building it myself over a weekend, the price was cut in a little more than half.
Whats your chargeout rate for weekend work?
Because they are efficient when run flat chat with a constant load. This is easy to do when powering a city, not so easy when powering a car.

No.
Christ don't say that I still have to get home today.
For job security, that is, would be C++ modules glued together with Perl.
For real job security use rhapsody to generate the perl and C++ and make everything an object. How's that headache now?
OK, hands up all you Unimelb peons...
Well I am an ex Unimelb peon if you count stuff from the 1980s. Also my current employer used to occupy 780 Elizabeth.

I wish I had a job working for imitation peanuts. Right now all I get is packing foam.
You get packing foam? All I get is state labour election promises.

Thats two people who work directly above this lab. Getting crowded at unimelb.

So I think its Melbourne Uni.
Yes, to put it mildly

He flew the observation/chase plane which monitored flight surgeon Colonel John Paul Stapp's rocket sled run of 632 mph (1,017 km/h) in 1955
Rocket sleds had chase planes? What did they expect to happen?

Now that 120 thousand feet doesn't sound like much if you can jump from 100 km. I wonder if somebody will try it from SpaceShipTwo?

No, during the day you drive it around. Then stop where you can steal power during the night.

... you still get a hefty bill and there's nothing (more) you can do about it - except perhaps to steal the electricity that is... ;)
Produce it? (PV,
Not in the UK!
No point having free power if you can't afford a home so everybody should have a free house too.
