CodeHog writes "The WP reports about a student working on a PhD and how it relates to national (US) security. Very interesting that he has been able to get all this information. It raises some very challenging questions, should some of this information be classified?"

Oh my god, we have a national infrastructure? Quick, kill it. Get rid of it. Will somebody please think of the children?
"Grad Student's Work Reveals National Infrastructure"
It took a student earning their PhD to discover this? Should I be worried about the status of the University educational system?

Actually, it would be easy for me to put "classified" on my list of publications on my résumé. It is just the "mostly as bullshit" part that wouldn't do me any good.

That's a huge oversimplification. I wouldn't even respond to such a troll had some ill-informed moderators not decided to mod it up to a 5 and make it the first comment on the page.
I must say that this is a very nice display of consistency.

A half a km or so south of where I was living, there were two small air-conditioned barbed-fenced-in buildings, sitting next to sizeable propane tanks (presumably for backup generator). I assume they must be optical relay stations or something of the sort having to do with those fiber lines.
What sucked was that when I was living there, I couldn't get higher than a 21.6k internet connection (it was a rural area), but all the while there was likely gigabits/sec flying by my front yard =D
