That is sooo not practical. The lag would be unbearable. You're better off playing chess with someone in Europe by writing your each individual move on paper, putting it in a glass bottle, and throwing it into the North Atlantic.

Fortunately, the UK doesn't (yet) outlaw a simple data cable as a DMCA circumvention device, unlike other countries with far fewer freedoms for CompSci students.

Hell yeah. I heard someone actually wrote a version of the UNIX kernel that would run on home PCs. Like anyone would ever use something like that.

The fact that it can run a web server certainly makes me overlook the "screen is too dark" issue.

I claim that the North Atlantic has more bandwidth than your cable modem. The latency is another story though.
