This is not new. Existing Carriers have been offering 100GbE services for some time although the type of customer who requires this type of service is few and far between. As for 10GbE for residential, if this is literally 10G to the home t

Except a car costs $30,000 and a Kayak costs $300 with much lower running costs. Virgin are not trying to be the first to get into Space, they're trying to reduce the cost and make it more affordable.

Space X and Virgin Galactic are building completely different products. The only commonality is that they both go into Space (and Virgin Galactic barely even that). SpaceX is not actually doing much in the way of 'new', to date. T

It is, the level of the pint glass changes every day, so the "enterprising publican" would have to send someone out everyday and change his sticker every day too. Sounds like quite a bit of effort.

I would also encourage the design team to keep in mind what their users actually use Audacity for. I'm only talking Anecdotally here, based on my own experience, but I would guess that a large number of users use Audacity for it's

Are you referring to the Gray Cable with all the landing points in Northern Canada? Firstly, this is not the North Pole. There is no land at the North Pole, which is why it doesn't appear on the map. What you're looking at is infa

Perhaps in Russia or China. In the UK and Europe there is a big effort to prevent accidental 'sabotage', usually from fishermen. KIS-ORCA[1] project has a very detailed GIS map for undersea infrastructure. [1] http://ww

True, but you shouldn't need to replace an LED bulb like you did the incandescent's. More likely to be a problem with the transformer or cheap wire and connections.

I completely agree. "in the event of a string of lights going out on your tree, replacing the strand is usually the best option. It’s pretty difficult to find that one bulb that’s causing the problem" That one sentence sums up mos

Judging from the Robot letter in the article, the easiest way to spot a robot-penned letter would be that specific words are all the same. Look at the word 'the' in the picture, or even the 'th' in 'this'. They

"scam"? Care to elaborate? HFT has been around in Europe and is as well established as the US, so I assume the alleged scam relates directly to buying and operating Microwave networks. Seriously, please do provide more information

Property prices are fuelled primarily by population growth. If we look 30 years ahead, it's likely that the population of rich world countries (especially Europe[1]) will decrease as the baby-boomers, sadly, disappear. That could be a

This does seem to make sense, the more aware of your environment you are (the more you know), the more modest you become when you realise you don't know it all. I hardly think modesty is a curse.
