If you have in wall conduit with no cabling in it you can use a vacuum to pull a string through the conduit. This is even done on a larger scale for telecom duct-work under streets if you lose the pull string.

Upgrading a GPON can be just as easy, standards like 10G-PON are backwards compatable. Just upgrade your OLT, then upgrade subscriber ONTs to take advantage of higher speeds at your leisure.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/10G-PON
Now, granted, I've never actually seen 10G-PON equipment from the vendors I use, but that might be due to lack of demand at this point. The network I work with uses a 16 split on each GPON, which gives a pretty good amount of bandwidth dedicated to each subscriber when you figure only about half of people take internet service (some take just phone, or tv and phone).
Speaking as someone who works for a small company that offers cable service, sports programming probably accounts for 20-25% of your bill most likely. Can't really pin it down for sure though, the big guys get better prices than we do.
I wonder what happened if you used automatic translation, like google translate, to translate to a different language and back. I bet that would make it a lot harder to match to other things you wrote, especially if you used a different intermediate language each time.
Having to touch up the obvious errors might still provide a partial "fingerprint" of your writing style though.
It all depends on how you want to translate the names from their native languages. When you don't use the same alphabet or sounds this can be difficult.
Depends on the cave. Of course, if you're going to build a dam a scant three miles away and vastly raise the water table, well, it's probably going to be a concern with this cave.
Dam is already there, they're just adding a hydro electric plant to it. Lock and Dam 21
5. and they ARE cool... until you put a bunch of servers in them, and then they heat up, and STAY hot, and are harder to cool than on the surface
the idea of servers in caves sucks
1. Having seen these caves first hand, I know for a fact that a good many of them can be driven into directly, doesn't get much easier to get to than that.
2. (See 1)
3. Haven't seen or heard of much flooding in these.
4. The ones I've driven past have massive ventilation fans outside, and can handle removing vehicle exhaust. What are you doing to the air quality in there that's worse than exhaust? Burrito day?
5. Not sure on 5, but they do manage to store refrigerated goods in them, as another poster points out. I'd handle this by drilling wells into the floor of the cave and circulating water if the cooling wasn't sufficient.
so what frequency do i use to control the soldiers, listen in on them, or jam thier signals?
hope their crypto is good.
How did that get modded insightful? Are you able to do this with any of the current communications? Because aside from the read side of it, I bet the transmit side is going to be pretty similar to what they use now.
Effectively, you're arguing against the use of any radios.
You probably could, but then you still have to maintain the copper plant. Not sure, but there may be regulatory problems with running power infrastructure like that too.
A big part of a lot of companies plans for their copper plant involves abandoning selective portions in the next few years, and then more as the price of ONTs and other fiber related electronics go down.
Where I work only the video and data customers will be on fiber right away, then as time goes on we plan to move the POTS customers over. Once that happens most of the copper will be abandoned.
Mounting these boxes underground would give you a much larger footprint in the ground too.
For instance, the boxes we use at the phone company I work for are around 4' cubes. We need access to doors on each side of them. To put them in the ground we'd need 64 sq' of access doors on the ground, instead of the 16 sq' footprint the current boxes have.
And just how do you propose to get the backup power from the CO to the boxes? The reason you can locate the backup batteries in the CO on a copper plant is because copper can conduct electricity. I'll give you a couple fiber jumpers, a deep cycle battery, and a piece of equipment, and you go right ahead and show me how to power that equipment across the fiber.
If you want fiber, you'll have to deal with locally placed battery backup.
Some plants like soy beans fix nitrogen from the air, so they don't need as much fertilizer. Part of the reason why crops are rotated, to cut down on fertilizer usage.
The phone company where I work is a small outfit that only has about 6-8k customers, but we've had this for the last few years, to answer a few questions that have come up,
1.The tv bandwidth is seperate from the internet.
2.It's done through peer to peer streaming, I can run 3 tvs simultaneously over one phone line, but that's it unless you have a second line.
3. The quality of service is amazing, it never hiccups and they're going to start offering HD signal soon.
Wouldn't a better way to avoid damage be to allow the processors closest to the sensor to quickly evaluate if it was being damaged and if so pull back the hand or whatever part without direct control from the main system? Sort of like when you're getting burned and you pull back before you even realize you were burned.
If there were NO used book industry, or if there were some sort of royalty paid for each resale, most textbooks could be almost as cheap as trade books.
What about all the non-textbook used books I can buy at used bookstores and on places like amazon. ..shouldn't this cause all normal book prices to skyrocket by this logic?

The answer you are looking for is SHAKEN/STIR, it's currently being implemented by major carriers.

I own a Boxee Box. I have no problem adding local sources, and use it to play DVD .iso images from a shared drive on my Windows 7 desktop.

Exactly, old news. I've been to the Infobunker before. Pretty neat place, good security too. It used to be a communications facility.
so what frequency do i use to control the soldiers, listen in on them, or jam thier signals?
hope their crypto is good.

As much as I hate government interferance in business, if you're going to have a government granted monopoly you should have government set prices.

It's near instant for the audio, video takes about a second. The channel info at the bottom comes up right away, so you know the show title too.

If you're right he should probably see a doctor. . .red. . .that doesn't sound healthy at all.
So the best way to go about this is. . .squish butterflies (preferably ones on the other side of the planet)!

This is at least as much sport as car racing.

Shouldn't the $25 be your cost for *renting* the book? You only get $50 back if you sell it back. To keep the book you have to pay at least $75.
I love early adopters, the more the better. Drives the price down for the rest of us willing to wait six months.
