Bandwidth Record: 150Gbps

It still takes me 30 minutes to put a EBAY ad on for a spare car part. When is this high speed internet going to happen.

In other news, the RIAA announced today it has filed a lawsuit against the Fermi National Laboratory. An RIAA spokesperson released a statement that read in part,

"...(we) intend to prosecute anyone who mentions the words 'DVD' and 'downloading' in the same sentence. People don't realize how this kind of talk is taking away the multi-million dollar vacation homes of our record executives".

Yeah, except that he probably didn't say it.

DOS could address 1024 KB of "Conventional Memory" but the machines used the upper 384 KB of it. Memory managers like QEMM or EMM386 allowed you to map expanded memory into that area (where DOS could reach it).

So it wasn't a DOS limitation, it was a hardware design decision.

Ludacris speed!, not ludacris speed, YES, turn it up to ludacris speed!!

Now if servers like speakeasy had backbones of this size, we'd see the true potential of our measly 15megabits FIOS lines
Make with the bandwidth already, I'm dying over here..

150Gbps $29.95 a month residential- sign me up

lol... Even a ramdrive is limited to the speed of the RAM. On my high end system I can get a little over 5GB/s, but most mid-range dual channel systems achieve 3-4GB/s max.

You wind up with morons that think they need to download 150 DVDs per minute who demand that sort of bandwidth from their carrier...

What was that about voters again?

Or Microsoft. Oops, M$.

I have no hostility towards technology and it's constant improvements. I think we continuously want something bigger and faster. I for one always want a faster machine with all the bells and whistles that are possible. I think we get use to the idea that things can always improve and be better and we expect them. The disappointment would be to know that the fastest machine can not get any better. That there are no more improvements that can be done. No more upgrades. This would be a sad day.

Aye. And there's the issue of quickly running out of ram. What good is infinite bandwidth if you have a finite amount of storage room?

wow, so a few high energy particle physicists can sit around the nerd circle and inhale-snort-laugh on how much bigger their balls have grown due to their transfer speeds...

There's a reason why they can: It's a freaking island compared to N. America!

me too

Damn physicists brag and buulshit all the time. Just ignore this crap.
