World's Fastest Net Link 'Used To Dry Laundry'
praps writes "Last summer a 75-year-old woman from central Sweden became the envy of the IT world with her scorching 40Gbps internet connection. 1,500 simultaneous HDTV channels or a whole high definition DVD downloaded in two seconds were hers for the taking. Now Sigbritt Löthberg could soon be treated to an incredible 100 Gbps link — but it may not be put to great use. According to the head of the ultra-fast fiber connection project, Sigbritt mostly used the gear 'to dry her laundry.'"
I think you meant to say "the whole idle section is horrible." Seriously, I try to avoid this corner of the site as much as possible, but I mistakenly thought that since this article concerned genuine technology advances it might be real news. Please, for the love of God, get rid of idle. If I want juvenile bullshit, I'll go read Fark or just look at lolcats or something. I hate it I hate it I hate it.
In addition, Idle still has not shown up in the configuration options for me to minimize.
It's worse than failure. It's ugly. It's BAD. It's shitty. I hope it burns in the eleventh circle of hell (the one for bad webpage designs) very soon. I hope that "soon" will be in next ten seconds. DAMMIT.
