It makes you a bit wary ?
Wary of what you wanker.
If a group of software guys design a new OS for the *MOST POPULAR CPU ON THE PLANET* good luck to them.
Writing kernels that compile on multiple platforms is *hard* read some of A.Cox's efforts on porting an Apple II is you don't believe me.
I take it you have a Alpha at home do you ? do you have a couple of sparc's lying around any you aren't happy with Sun's new "free software" arrangement. Maybe you have a mac, but so what - run YellowDog linux and shut up
And don't go giving me the crap about businesses either.
Individually you can't use the entire bandwidth, but across a MAN or WAN with multidrop ADM mux's you could easily fill this. The network I'm currently monitoring has 4 OC-192 ( that's STM-64 for SDH purists ) rings and at least 50 STM-16 rings. Those are 10GIG systems BTW. You can't fill that in a second from your harddrive either, but it CAN support 120,000 simultanious phone conversations in a 1+1 ring protected topology.
that's what is for... now.
In the future using tech's like POS ( Packet Over Sonet ) ATM/FR or straight GIG-IP we could *easily* fill that sucker up.
I guess to cut what would be a long and boring story short, don't think of yourself as an individual using this bandwidth, this thing is designed for carriers to interconnect cities ( or countries ) with one fibre. you don't have the processing power or IO bandwidth on a PC to ever hope to decode the number of channels associated inside one of these babies.
I'm sorry to burst your bubble Grant, but using the correct gear ( Newbridge 36170 - 36190 for e.g. ) we can easily do this. we approach similar speeds ( but down seperate fibres ) today.

I guess my point here is what is your point ?. Any dumbass can figure out that multiple logins means you get to post at +1 with anything you do. if you artificially raise your Karma up enough by posting like crazy in "older" stories it goes to +2. What have you proven by exploiting that ?

I've read it... it plotted the next several Billion years of mankinds exsistance, I think it was called "Ring" because of the 'other' advanced baryonic race that developed the great ring as a means of slowing the advance of the dark matter birds.
At this years Hannover show, I saw Fujitsu's latest speed demon, the 320Gig. WFDM, I remember being very impressed. being a Telco Engineer. However as I was looking (drooling) over this new sparkling toy the following occured to me.
a) These things do get faster every year or so. No biggy there. So what. CPU's speed up Harddrives get bigger/faster cheaper. Is anyone really surprised by this ? The numbers ar big and very fast - but it *was* a lab. b) These things are horrendously expensive to put into the ground. The only people that can actually afford to use them are Telco's (think Baby Bells AT&T and MCI Worldcom/Sprint )
So what does this gain us. Nothing. We won't see any increase in internet backbone because of this. The Telcos' have to much capital investiture to pull all those gloriously expensive CBR services out and replace them with something innovative like POS ( Packet over Sonet ) or ATM.
The ITU has only really ratified OC-192 ( STM-64 ) 9953.28 Mbit/s ( 10Gig ) fairly recently. These new multipliers are not yet part of the standard. Traditionally we have seen steps of 4X over the last signal speed.
STM1 = 155 M STM4 = 622 M STM16 = 2488 M STM64 = 9953 M etc.
I'm not sure that these actually fit cleanly into the current SONET / SDH infrusture. Which is fine for point to point comunications, within the one company or Country. But it you needed to interconnect one of these to another vendor's bit of kit, unless they follow the same technology tree with FWDM 80 Gig Steps, it would mean that you would have to step this bad boy down to a level in the standards to actually get something out of it. That could mean a lot ( a real lot ) of 10 Gig boxes stepping down across lines of demarkation ( or POI's )
And just on the side. Nortel's track record of just keeping 1X ( Their name for an STM1 box) running is really not so good. How are they going to support 6 Tera if they *really* can't get the basics right ??
( excuse the flame-bait nature of the mail - I'm pissed)
What a crock of crap.
You have simply justified a system that you were bought up with. The same way I defend Metric because the system makes sense *to me*
15 stones ? what the hell unit of measure is that ? 76 F how hot is that ?
You dressed up a lame arguement in suedo science, the bottom line is, USA has not gone completly metric because the government there ( rightly ) suspects the average American unable to cope with the change. That is because the average American is insulated and ill-educated about the rest of the world.

Not sure if that request will slow down - or actually accelerate your DOS even.

Still with that amount of money it's going to be an interesting event, Hope they SETI the boxes while Quake etc isn't running.

No.
Fast-Slow, isn't important. Once the Machine is up:
*is it functional ???*
If you strip down the services and sit it stand alone I bet I could throw something toether that would be pretty quick.
Same as if I loaded a machine with dodgy network info, and let it time out for everything. It would be slow.
Functionality is the issue.
