FTA "but had to become an American to realize her full potential."

Where others might say "had to leave Iran to realize her full potential" ...

It *already is* presumed consent. When you opt out I hope you enjoy being on Camerons naughty-filthy-dog-buggering-and-political-extremism-terrorist list.

Encryption. Lots of it. It's almost the only way to be sure :-/

Did you actually read the original paper? It addresses the land problem.

All the /. experts come out of their caves to debunk a paper by a guy that brought us internet payments, commercial space travel, and luxury electric cars.

The article explicitly states that the tube does not hold a vacuum, and thus greatly reduces costs.

When Glass devices become available as prescription glasses, I don't see how they can implement a ban. Are they going to start controlling what type of spectacles people wear when they drive?

You seem to have entirely missed the point of this device. It's not for your LAN, it's for your mobile remote devices. It just happens to be connected to the net via your LAN. Try reading the funding drive again.

You've clearly missed the bit where it says "Plug is not yet-another-memory" - try reading it again.

I hardly think that's gong to be an issue for your mobile device over a GPRS/3G/EDGE/LTE/etc link

We can all see the obvious, that's it's a Bifferboard under the cover. What you should do is read the funding drive. The real magic is in the software, where it intercepts all local storage requests and makes access to your remote disks entirely transparent, and doesn't consume local storage unless you configure it to cache specific items.

Only if your target market is the East coast and you don't foresee the need to test against such scenarios...

Surely this should have been discovered during the route survey, rather than during the engineering works? Typical of BT maybe? What's a route survey??

Whilst the original comment is wrong in that it's not "much bigger", Wikipedia also states that you are, unfortunately, wrong as well. USA @ 3,794,101 sq mi vs Europe @ 3,930,000 sq mi

Either way, they're both big enough to have vastly different cultures and lifestyles depending on where you visit.

Why would flash memory be non-replaceable? Sure, the stuff that was on it when it failed might be hard to replace, but that's why you keep backups, right?

The ROT13 thing was funny once. It is now just irritating.
