While you're busy pining away for Google Fiber, a group of researchers at the Technical University of Denmark have been busy putting it to shame. Trumping their last network milestone achieved back in 2009, the group has developed a fiber network that pushes more than 5TB of data per second through a single optical cable.

The network gives users speeds of 43Tbps, which works out to about 5.4TB per second. As the folks at Extreme Tech pointed out, such speeds would allow you to download a 1GB movie in 0.2 milliseconds -- or better said, in the blink of an eye.

The university -- henceforth called DTU -- is notable for many reasons, not the least of which was being the first to exceed the single terabit milestone, something that took place back in 2009. Though hard at work, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology set the latest record back in 2011 at 26 terabits, something that has persisted until now.

The speeds were achieved using a single-laser and single-fiber setup, with multi-core fiber being used to hit the faster speeds. While you won't be seeing these speeds in your home any time soon, it is an important milestone for ushering us closer.

The only instance I would say is in self defense. Say if we keep getting DDoS'd.

It's likely this is just one guy or a few of them doing this. Going after the entire off topic wouldn't help things here; it would likely just piss more people off.

Its mutually assured destruction. Would they risk their forum to attack ours?

Yes. There are certain fungi that take over the nervous systems of their victims, causing zombie like behavior.

Bad forms of taxation
- Court costs
- Social Security
- Gun registration
- Concealed carry permits
- Income tax
- Obamacare Individual Mandate Excise Tax
- Property Taxes
- Self-Employment Taxes
- Wealth tax
- Excise tax
- Consumption tax
- Gift tax
- Inheritance tax

Okay forms of taxation
- Tolls
- Fishing license
- Hunting permits
- Traffic fines
- Tariffs
- Cigarette tax
- Corporate income tax
- Double taxation
- Federal unemployment tax
- Food service tax
- Gas tax
- Liquor tax
- Public utility tax
- Resort tax
- Sales tax
- School tax

You'd better have a damn good reason for thinking cigarette, liquor, corporation taxes and tariffs are fine.

First 2: Not a necessity and can increase health risks of people
Corporate: Corporations are not people
Tariffs: Increases domestic job growth since it's cheaper

You can't seriously call yourself a libertarian and still think taxes should be used to sway people's personal choices. Not to mention, taxation on such goods doesn't stop such behaviour and simply makes people poorer.

If corporations aren't people they can't be properly taxed.

Domestic job growth is meaningless if everybody is poorer because competition is being stifled.

Honestly chocolate fudge! Or cookies and cream.

My philosophies, unless political, don't usually come up in conversation with anybody.

So, I guess a change of pace would be interesting for me. I am a nihilist, so ask me anything relating to that I guess.

A quick definition for the uninformed:

Quote

Nihilism (/?na?.?l?z?m/ or /?ni?.?l?z?m/; from the Latin nihil, nothing) is a philosophical doctrine that suggests the negation of one or more reputedly meaningful aspects of life. Most commonly, nihilism is presented in the form of existential nihilism, which argues that life is without objective meaning, purpose, or intrinsic value.[1] Moral nihilists assert that morality does not inherently exist, and that any established moral values are abstractly contrived. Nihilism can also take epistemological or ontological/metaphysical forms, meaning respectively that, in some aspect, knowledge is not possible, or that reality does not actually exist.

NEW YORK -- The Israeli military told The New York Times on Friday to withhold publishing additional information about an Israeli soldier reportedly captured by Palestinian militants until it is first reviewed by a censor.

The Times acknowledged the order in an article Friday on the abrupt collapse of a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas.

The Times added the new paragraph nearly six hours after first publishing the article, according to Newsdiffs, a site that tracks changes in news stories online.

A Times spokeswoman did not have any immediate comment on the paper's handling of the censorship notification.

The Israeli government recently issued a media gag order related to the killings of three Israeli teenagers and one Palestinian teenager, violence that helped lead to the current conflict. While the news media faced restrictions, the Times' Robert Mackey wrote that "a vigorous, at times frightening, public discussion of the killings has continued online based on rumor and leaks used by partisans of both sides to indict their enemies.?

Israeli officials blamed Hamas for abducting the Israeli teenagers, though some intelligence officials have now expressed doubt that Hamas was involved. The resulting war has led to the deaths of nearly 1,500 Palestinians and 56 Israeli soldiers.

In April, the Times acknowledged withholding news that a 23-year-old Palestinian journalist had been arrested because of an Israeli court-imposed gag order. At the time, Jerusalem Bureau Chief Jodi Rudoren told Times? Public Editor Margaret Sullivan that the paper is ?indeed, bound by gag orders.?

Sullivan wrote that Rudoren ?said that the situation is analogous to abiding by traffic rules or any other laws of the land, and that two of her predecessors in the bureau chief position affirmed to her this week that the Times has been subject to gag orders in the past.?

Still, some of the paper?s top editors said they didn?t know the Times abided by such restrictions.

Both Dean Baquet, who was then managing editor and has since been promoted to executive editor, and Susan Chira, a former foreign editor and current assistant managing editor, told Sullivan they "were un
