| 298630 | 2004-12-01 07:47:00 | Well, think again.... ...how about :three DVD movies--per second "??!!! From: www.shortnews.com A group of researchers have found a way to quickly transfer huge amounts of data over computer networks, paving the way for greater global scientific cooperation and future commercial uses. By shuttling data at a sustained rate of 101 gigabits--the equivalent of three DVD movies--per second between Pittsburgh and Los Angeles, the so-called High Energy Physics team shattered a record for data transfer and won the Supercomputing Bandwidth Challenge, a contest geared toward improving network connection speed for grid computing. The team sustained the 101-gigabit speed for only a few minutes during the 90-minute demonstration, peaking at just above the 101-gigabit mark. But "we are confident if we did it again...we would sustain the 100+gbps throughput for hours," Harvey Newman, professor of physics at the California Institute of Technology and the head of the team, wrote in an e-mail. Transfer rates of 130gbps to 140gbps are likely possible, he added. |

| 298633 | 2004-12-01 08:00:00 | No, no. Nah, it serves about 160 computers, so the clients only get 600k each, but download speeds are usually around 2-3MB/sec as not all use the link at once. Of course that connection is, erm, coming soon as are the PCs :p |

Way to go champ - I envy your e-schlong. |

Maintained for a few minutes. Buy shares now if you want. Wish I had bought Microsoft shares in the 1980s and 90s. Im not buying shares in Linux producing companies either. |
