Bandwidth Demand at American Universities

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the september-that-never-ends dept.

Robert Rwebangira writes: "There is an article in The New York Times (free reg required), discussing college students 'insatiable demand for bandwidth.' Of particular interest is the continuing prominence of file-sharing (inspite of the demise of Napster) and the amount of bandwidth consumed in even 'legitimate' activities. It seems students demand for bandwidth just keeps growing."

    I just heard on talk radio, Linux is not just for
    homosexuals anymore. The user base has now
    expanded to include heterosexual paedophiles,
    turd-eaters, and ugly people. This is great news
    for all those folks out there who fall into these
    categories. Now they can spend the 10 hours to
    do what would have taken them 10 minutes with winXP.

    Pray tell, what does 'inspite' mean?


    Perhaps you meant to use a spelling or grammar checker. The turn of phrase you're looking for is "in spite of", meaning "although use of Napster has dropped, [bandwidth use is still high]".
