Data Transfer Has A Speed Limit
ChrisHanel writes "Yahoo News is reporting that despite the infinite climb data speeds seem to be making, scientists at Stanford say we'll eventually hit a barrier due to the inability to keep the data stable after a certain transfer speed. But no worries just yet; the watermark they've set is still 1,000 times faster than what we have now." Apparently: "The scientists confirmed this problem by firing up the particle accelerator at Stanford University and blasting electrons at a piece of the magnetic material used to store computer data."
hooray for poop (second post!)
So eventually we'll hit a brick wall in speeding up our ability to download pr0n? The end is near!
Moo!
Well just switch to Debian, by the time it supports devices that can utilize that speed, it'll be 20 years later, so you can keep enjoying "advances" in technology even while your friends have long since hit that wall.
You sir, are a homosexual.
well data travels faster in my shiny new gentoo box.
Gentoo is the future...
U suck.
the watermark they've set is still 1,000 times faster than what we have now
You keep using that word watermark. I don't think it means what you think it means.
