This also happens when the water is not good enough to drink. (That is a theory on why we even have beer at all.)

tankiejerk is also acceptable.

I have been using 6ghz for about a year or so now and I found it to be quite fast. MLO can be super weird sometimes and seems to get confused, but it works. (It's probably just a driver I haven't updated.)

They claim big advances on a lot of things.

I thought that was only really an issue if the fiber was damaged in any way. (It would create a point where the external light could refract into the core) Then again, there isn't going to be a sheath on that cable and its not exactly a sterile environment.

Meh, I'm an idiot and that's OK!

You would have to cut the fiber or hope the pulsed laser melts it.

90% of the physics aside, this theory is like saying that crossing flashlight beams would cause interference. This is also ignoring the density difference between the fiber and the air.

All things considered, I think we are looking at the new Russian wunderwaffe. Coming to a T-14 near you.

I know it doesn't require much land, but there isn't any land available in population dense areas. Roof installations would be required for row houses and situations like that.

Yes. I was able to fake being Irish for a bit to a group of English folk. (It was just an alcohol induced joke at the time, s'all. They were either a few pints in or I did really well. Dunno.)

People are just people and there is probably a word or phrase for "gullible" in most languages.

It could be a thing for any rural house in countries that have the land for it.

Lack of space is the primary reason for putting it on a roof. It will get direct sunlight and there will random temperature differences so efficiency will never really be perfect. The condenser coils are also covered and it's not open like a ground unit would be.

They could put it in the shade, and that would be nice. I am curious where they should put it in this case...

The Internet would be great if it wasn't for all the other computers attached to it.
