petabyte(bit)/second hasn’t anything to do with the transmission propagation rate, it has to do with the transmission bandwidth. Transmission delay has to do with the transmission propagation rate; as you noted, latency.

When the plaintiffs went to his apartment last week, they found it had been completely cleaned out.

Headline: “Cops laugh at owner’s misfortune.”

No lights, no siren, no special privileges.

They want the fun to last more than 10 seconds. 

I can’t catch entirely what the manager said but it sounded to me like the word “months”, plural, was in the response.

People have been killed hitting them with a car; size doesn’t matter too much and height? Deer can clear 6 foot high over a road, so unless it’s an armored car-shaped motorcycle a few more pounds isn’t a guarantee.
