Submission + - Get hooked up for Fiber, but say goodbye to Copper (yahoo.com)
braindrainbahrain writes: In a story carried by the wires (AP, pun intended!), it is reported that subscribers to the Verizon Fiber Optic Service FioS are getting disconnected from the conventional copper-wire phone network when the fiber is installed.
While I'm sure everyone believes fiber to the home is the future, is Verizon implementing the future, or just using the service to create a monopoly?
Submission + - Engineering shortage in US Aerospace and Defense?
braindrainbahrain writes: Yet another story about an engineering shortage, this time in Aerospace and Defense. The AIAA is claiming there will be huge shortages in those industries due to an aging and retiring workforce. Buried deep within TFA , there is talk about outsourcing design services overseas. Will the next (US) moon rocket or fighter plane be designed overseas, or by people holding H1-B visas?
Submission + - Sea Launch rocket blows up on the pad
braindrainbahrain writes: Yikes! Sea Launch just blew up!
A launch of a communications satellite went wrong causing the rocket to fall back on the floating launch pad.
FYI: Sea Launch is the floating launch pad. It is used to launch satellites into orbit from the equator where they get an extra boost from the earth's rotation.

Submission + - Net neutrality featured in Bill Moyers documentary
braindrainbahrain writes: Bill Moyers will feature a discussion on Net Neutrality on his PBS TV show, scheduled for Oct 18th (that's tonight!). The trailer features representatives from MoveOn and the Christian Coalition actually agreeing on something. (I'll give you three guesses as to what that is...)
