If you wanted the LED tech, you'd need to contact the parent UK company. See if FutureLED is still in operation, they have all my developed IP.

Ceramic glass is easier to make, diamagnetic (which means more magnetic flux kept towards the tubes for better efficiency,) and also easier to make white-colored so you have better reflection. Cheaper than using aluminum.

I got out of that business - too much Chinese IP theft and copying. Wasn't even week #1 in business, I'd already had to file 2 DMCAs for crappy Chinese-made rip-off sites hosted in the USA trying to sell an inferior product. You c

In the case of physical products, the answer is pretty obvious - products that last = fewer sales. So companies try to find the balance between lifetime and turnaround time to typical replacement/repurchase. I refused to do that when I

We don't have a choice anyways - FireFox is now Chrome. Even if you don't have Chrome installed on your computer, the second you open FireFox, you'll see plenty of chrome processes spawning.

It is, as it's a municipal network and not a shitty company-owned one. Designed right from the ground up from day one, much like the fiber service in Sandy, Oregon (300/300 for $40, no limits, caps, throttling, nada.)

You're implying that medium.com is more than a blogspam site in the first place.

That would depend entirely upon the legal definition of mail.

Given the OS is known to be able to ignore its own HOSTs file, you're better off doing this directly in your router, if that is a possible option.

Almost an order of magnitude? You obviously don't know what that means. I'm at half a magnitude of order off by your supposed words (protip: An order of magnitude meas you add a zero to the end of the number you're using,) an

"I think its pretty obvious you don't understand how internet traffic really flows, when you think "all I have to do is compromise 600 pc's with a Gb connection and I can launch a 600Gbps DDoS." I've been doing

Chattanooga has symmetrical G-bit fiber to the home. 5,000 Chat-town residents got uppity, think of what would happen to Akamai if they couldn't deal with 600-ish G-bit.

I'm willing to bet you're not including compromised backbone routers and symmetrical gigabit-fiber connections. There's enough of the latter in the USA, to homes, to do that much and then some.

What caught my attention more was this bit at the bottom of the article: "Radio programs/stations may, for a fee, use an on-campus ISDN line" So advanced, yet still using a horrible and overly-expensive data transfer line...

Yup. Cable subscribers in the USA alone have enough aggregate bandwidth to knock Akamai totally offline if 620 G-bit is something they can't handle. My own uplink is 10 M-bit. 100,000 compromised connections that speed is enough for T-

If it takes a mere 620 G-bit to screw Akamai, then they're obviously not much of a content distribution platform. I only need a few thousand compromised machines in the right countries to run 5+ T-bit scale attacks. This isn't the

A single 12V 100Ah VRLA Deep-Cycle battery might be a better idea that's more familiar to a much larger chunk of the population, and you have the added bonus of having enough capacity to make up for the typical conversion/transmis

They're laws that don't get enforced because the companies are simply too large and can get away with it. It's more effective and more profitable for the court systems to go after the smaller 'offenders.'

I've done plenty of work in the UK. It's nowhere near far-fetched, it is in fact sad reality.

"Human response to light is not particularly well-modeled by a logarithmic response. It's --- no big surprise --- better modeled by a power law. This stuff is confusing because there's two perceptual "laws" that peo
