New Internet2 Land Speed Record

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the infinite-bandwidth-now dept.

SquadBoy writes "An international team set a new record for Internet performance by transferring the equivalent of an entire compact disc's contents across more than 7608 miles (12,272 km) of network in 13 seconds. The rate of 401 megabits per second achieved in transferring 625 megabytes of data from Fairbanks, Alaska to Amsterdam in the Netherlands is over 8000 times greater than the fastest dial-up modem."

      Gah, stupid "geek girls". Better watch out for girls like that, they are as sly as they come. Turn your back on 'em for one second, and you're done for. I should know, I used to date one. Fucking insecure 'bloke wannabe' bitch.

    Some sites containing the word "transfer" are likely to be slashdotted sooner or later, maybe even as we speak. For your convenience I have included that word a number of times below:

    transfer transfer transfer transfer transfer transfer transfer transfer transfer transfer transfer transfer transfer transfer transfer

    Please mod this up.
