Of course there is no spoon. Everybody saying so is told to check uppon the spoon in Bush's ass and quickly starts pretending that there is no spoon as well;-)
Okay, actually speed of light is 300.000km / s of course and the wavelength is not a complete up/down wave, but only the up or down part of the wave and can therefore only present 1 bit of information.
So, revised calculations: 300.000km/s --> 2 500 000 000 waves/Bit per s --> 2384 MBit per second "raw" capacity.
This somehow looks too high, or is that much lost in error correction & stuff?
Just to check if I get this right, the wavelength is 12 cm, which means the signal goes up & down every 12 cm and can therefore represent 2 Bit every 12 cm.
The speed is 300km/s (speed of light, not accurate). Which means that we have 2500000 waves / second (300 * 1000 * 100 / 12) which translates to 5000000 Bit / s which would be ~4.7 MBit / second "raw" capacity.
Can anyone please point out any mistakes I might have done? Cheers.
This is just an idea which I'm not more able to think through tonight (it's very later here), but what about a UDP approach to a file sharing system. Everybody sending something to you could definitely be anonymous (UDP does not require a valid source IP). The tricky thing would be how to actually _find_ stuff, because that would need the IP of the potential source to be known. Hmmm...

Woah...time for a "I for one welcome ... them to manage stuff elsewhere as well" ;)
So when we are there, they would just flip a coin at the start of the match and the one who wins also automatically wins the game?
So you kick yourself into the mouth often? ;)
Looks like they finally found their "killer application"
You really should not start an insightful comment with "I for one", you will not get the target audience you wish to reach... ;)
Oh come on, time difference is not _that_ high... ;)
Microsoft has announced GSP agreements with Russia, NATO and the United Kingdom.
.da.ru site very soon ... or at least in some of the more popular p2p networks :)
I predict the appearance of the windows source code on some

... so, how many employees does the RIAA have again? ;-)
... so...how much is that in elephants please?

So if I overclock one of these, "burned out" will finally become a whole new meaning...? :)
Try "Google LBS Server" as address and you should get a picture of a dust cloud which once has been just that server... ;)
err..messup..other way around (carrier signal = base frequency, base frequency = signal carrying the information)..sorry
can you also take a look at my revised calculations, where I got to 2k something mbit/s? can you detect my mistake there?
Wow, how does that work? Does the carrier signal which is mapped onto the "base frequency" use a higher frequency than the "base frequency" itself?

Oh well, on second view I realized that I really messed up with that, please ignore my posts ;)
oops...I mean 157 Bil Gates' ;-) my fault, please flame me now :)
...another 23 Bill Gates's and they could throw together and build a space elevator :))

Hey guys!
This is just an idea which I'm not more able to think through tonight (it's very later here), but what about a UDP approach to a file sharing system. Everybody sending something to you could definitely be anonymous (UDP does not require a valid source IP). The tricky thing would be how to actually _find_ stuff, because that would need the IP of the potential source to be known. Hmmm...
Any bright ideas?
Ohh...If I were Bill Gates, I would _so_ buy my face into every Mandrake installation for 7k... ;-P

Oh yeah, that will show them...I can see them shiver already...
*uh* ... *thinks* ... that's a catch question ... right? *sweats* ..errr
*ducks*
both?
Now if you would have included register.com into that question, it would have been _really_ tricky...
