Re: Wonderful.... said by P Ness:i don't get it, why is money spent on this? Do some digging into some of the research that is being done and you'll see why the need for this network exists. For example, the LIGO project that is being run in SE Louisiana uses massive amounts of bandwidth when they are performing observations (IIRC, at least 100mbps). Now imagine all of the projects like it (radio astronomy, particle physics, etc.) around the world and you can see why the bandwidth is needed. It may not be needed all of the time, but when projects and experiments are running, they need enough capacity for them all.

All professors are liberals.

Pshh, sure, a lot, but you still have conservative/libertarian/constitutionalist/etc professors too. | | |
