The Space Station is at 14.7 PSI (sea level). It will boil at 373.15 Kelvin just like in Miami or Hawaii.

Submission + - Researchers show-off high-speed laser communications device for space (networkworld.com)

coondoggie writes: Using lasers to communicate quickly through the long distances of space has generally been the purview of science fiction. But researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) are out to change that notion with a prototype array that can read more information — and allow much higher data rates than conventional systems — than usual from single particles of light. Lasers can transmit only very low light levels across vast distances, so signals need to contain as much information as possible, NASA said.

Comment It's not your router... (Score 3, Insightful) 414

The problem is related to the amount of traffic coming to you from the internet. No amount of QoS applied to your router will be able to shape the traffic that is piling up against the provider's side of the link to your house. That leaves you with 2 options:
1. If your BitTorrent client supports it, set the maximum download rate to less than what your internet connection speed is. I won't guarantee this will completely solve the issue, but it should help.
2. Don't download big files while you are using your VoIP phone.
