8.6 GB Internet?
prostoalex writes "Caltech computer scientists announced the protocol, capable of delivering 8,609 Mbps over the Internet, using 10 simultaneous flows of data. The research project was conducted in partnership with CERN, DataTAG, StarLight, Cisco, and Level 3. The practical applications, according to the press release, is ability 'to download a full-length DVD movie in less than five seconds'. There is a number of papers and scientific publications available."
w00t w00t!!!
Finally a worthty way to connect all those beowulf clusters weve been imagining!
What signature defines me as a person?

WOOHOO! KEEP THE FAITH! IRAQ WILL RESIST THE ZIONIST-CRUSADER-CAPITALIST ALLIANCE!
Is there a readily available technical solution for the following?
;-)
20 people connected to a Wireless LAN.
Each person commits 10-20% of their 56k dial-up connection for a server on the network to use.
A program (running on the server) requests portions of "large files" by either:
1) Connecting direct and requesting via ftp/http. ie. 20 requests for 5% using file resuming and then stopping when the amount has been pulled down.
2) Connecting to another server on the web which proxies the data and chops it up for streaming.
Does this kinda setup already exist? If so please cast me an URL

Actually, it is precisely off by a factor of 8, as is always the difference between B versus b, or (as the other reader astutely points out) three orders of magnitude with a binary base.
Well.. off by a factor of 8 or 3 orders magnitude for binary computers at least, but not for my trinary! computer!
I actually managed to get my hands on a bit of beaver while at Caltech, though I've had my hands on quite a bit more since leaving. So much for your "never seeing the real thing" theory.
Oh wait...
The other day I went to the grocery store to buy some stuff to grill. The weather here is really nice so I said, "hey, I want to grill" so i went to the store and i turned onto the jersery turnpike.
