Just wait...till they get those FTL neutrino-tubes working. Data will arrive at Point B right before it was sent from Point A. | |

Why is this news?As far as I know, you can already send several hundred gigabits over fibre by utilizing 40 gig ethernet and multiplexing it. | |

Re: Why is this news?Again, not news. Infinera » www.infinera.com/ (number 1 market share for carrier DWDM backbone gear in north america) has multi-hundred-gigabit super-channels available. | |

Also this newsBit deep into the field but very promising. Ironically it comes on day Library of Congress showed off some sounds from Alexander Graham Bell experimental discs 1880s played on a computer. Article also mentioned this history bit: During this time, Bell sent the first wireless telephone message on a beam of light from the roof of a downtown Washington building a forerunner to modern fiber optics. ---------------- » www.physorg.com/news/201 ··· nap.htmlOptical fiber innovation could make future optical computers a 'SNAP' | |

Re: Also this newsYou misunderstand entanglement. It isn't thought to allow communication (see "no communication theorem", » lesswrong.com/lw/q2/spoo ··· ication/ ) Entanglement does seem to be real, and it seems like it will be useful in building quantum computers that can solve certain problems (a very small known set of problems, as of right now) like factoring faster than classical computers can (so much faster that previously intractable problems will be tractable), but this is unrelated to faster-than-light. There's no current known path to FTL communication, and the prevailing belief is that it's impossible. Nobody knows, of course, but it seems less than likely right now. | |

Re: Also this newsQuantum physics is full of bizarre phenomena that defy intuition, but it doesn't enable the impossible. Sending information faster than light, by quantum entanglement or any other means, would violate special relativity. End of story. As for the faster-than-light neutrinos, it's only a statistical result with all kinds of possible explanations and is contradicted by other studies -- for example: » arxiv.org/abs/1110.3763v2 | |

what I didnt get why this was only done now-we just now got the tech to replay a wax disk or cylinder?!? | |

hmmI can see this helping at Brookhaven national labs. They are the US Tier 1 lab for the atlas detector. They get all the data directly from CERN and then distribute it to labs and universities around the US. They also have their own data from the RHIC they have to compute and send around also. I would think this could help greatly.
PS anyone in the NYC area they give free tours of their computer facilities . They also have live webcasts with the LHC team all the time. | |

When will this be available?for 14.99/mo & no caps! | |

NV and how quickly they get their first piracy lawsuit. MPAA & RIAA probably have already filed a pre-emptive takedown notice on the grounds that it *could* be used to 'offer' every film & recording ever made. | |

I was a small part of it...I work at Vanderbilt University. We were streaming data from our WAN storage system to SC2011.
The ironic part is, I go to work and have one of the fastest networks on earth. I go 15 miles away to my parent's house, and I can't get anything better than 22k dialup. | |

Yeah. Colleges have always had the fastest internet connections. It was invented there after all. Actually, the internet was reverse engineered from a UFO, but lets not get into that. | |

How are the bittorrent loads on the network? Any seedboxes on campus? | |
