His report of 300-900Kbps was a biased test because it included sending data over the internet via other networks.
At my office we use OC-12 connections and I can only show about 1 Mb/s up/down from dslreports.com, most downloads I get are about 1 - 1.5 Mb/s, some are slower. It all depends on where you are TX/RX from and how good the network is in between. I ping 50 to LAX, but ping 30 to UK servers... go figure.
We always test speed from the ISP to our network before the link goes live, but beyond that I dont think we get any speed guarantee other than the first hop of the ISP network. Because who knows what network/scriptkiddy/pr0n p2p node is taking the bandwidth of that route any time.
There were what? 70 something satellites. So are those odds 1:250 for each one, or the entire batch? If they are for each one, then thats not good... I guess the DoD really did buy it to protect us. =oP
You know, IANAL, but with gnutella you have some defence, as you dont profit(in currency) from your transaction. Its just sharing. Using this method, you make a "sale"..

Of course, this only works if you have access to it from the outside
I have also seen this on RedHat 5.x, when the passwd file is broken. Funny the same error is the same on so many OS's.

Hey! You didnt post the URLs to this when you got home! :)
I was looking forward to building my own '486 on a stick hooked on my belt' PC.
