Start small, get AS/IP assignment from ARIN, possibly IPv6-only to save costs (NAT and implement DNS64), setup a switch in one of the LA Internet Exchanges (e.g. CoreSite or Equinix), peer with Hurricane Electric, mount some backhaul radios on top the building (these are cheap! RBSXTG-5HPnD-HGr2), deploy more radios throught the city and form an Ad Hoc Mesh Network, don't forget to deploy cheaper radios (not the >10km 17dBi bastards) to get ordinary 100mw stations connected (<=2dBi, <200m range).

Build a community mesh network like Freifunk!

First Graphene Transistor 83

Posted by ScuttleMonkey from the cool-under-pressure dept.
An anonymous reader writes "UK researchers are announcing the first ever workable transistor made of graphene — that's one layer of carbon atoms. It's thinner and smaller than a silicon transistor can ever be, and it works at room temperature. When silicon electronics are dead, this is what many speculate is going to take over. There's slight controversy as they decided to announce their results via a review article, rather than wait for their (submitted) peer review paper to come out."

Obviously price is not a factor here or we'd all be putting together 800 MHz systems with 128 MB of RAM... This is your dream machine, so be creative, go as over the top as you need, remember overkill is not a crime."
