Not much for now, I don't think. They haven't improved on the intensity or accuracy of lasers in general, just the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of them. Large scale experimental projects like you mentioned don't generall

I don't think that's a fair assessment. It would be like saying you haven't left your town until you see another one. And bringing Voyager I to a full stop is currently impossible. It doesn't have the fuel and is traveli

To be fair, they aren't saying it just happened. They are confirming their last announcement that it had left the solar system. They are just saying they are more sure. However, for humor's sake, I also had thoughts pretty much al

Generally, the cost of college tracks inflation. It's where the funding that is changing that makes it appear to increase. 40 years ago state funds paid for most state college costs (hence the name, "state" college"). No

See, deep down, this is what bothers me about it. They haven't even added a decent questing system but modders have, and Notch gets the cash while articles like this prevent anyone from really making any money at it.

But who's to say those bittorrent packets contain pirated movies? What if they're a Linux distro, a video game update patch, or something else. You can't. That's the whole point of not prioritizing or de-prioritizing any

Maybe this is a little off-topic, and I don't want to sound like an ungrateful player of minecraft. I actually really love the game and have put more hours into it than just about any other game but a few key titles like the Diablo, El

I wonder if the accelerating trend towards higher Southern populations in the 1900s was brought on by the invention and development of home air conditioning. I know I would have never moved to Texas without it.

Not necessarily. I know it's a small subsection of their potential customers, but in markets competing (or about to compete), the subscription process for UVerse's gigabit service (contractually 300Mbps until September then 1Gbps)

One of my wife's friends is attending a college in Ireland. The cost of flying to Ireland and back twice a year, room and board, books, and tuition is roughly the same as they would have paid for tuition at their local state university

What if ISP2's customers don't have access to ISP1? Given the state of our broadband infrastructure that's MORE than likely.

I don't think your second premise is entirely true, since Comcast doesn't provide enough bandwidth for streaming services like Netflix and YouTube already. Those services are going to become harder and harder to use if anything.

Will this really matter in the long run? I mean don't most cable companies have a local monopoly anyway? I don't think there are many Comcast subscribers who can switch to TWC. I know there's still a diversity of offerings ac
