  16. Re:I have an idea on India Forms Expert Group on Google Earth Images · · Score: 2, Funny

    a better idea is to place a file called map.txt in every building and tell which part should be allowed to be mapped and which part not to be mapped. All sites or part of the sites to be allowed (disallowed) should clearly be written with the heading "Allow:" ("Disallow:") . Also, we should make all satellites to respect map.txt :).

  19. Re:Probably not enough DVDs/sec on Bandwidth Challenge Results · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The math in the page is very approximate.

    Lets take this scenario. There are around 10,000 users seeing the movie (thats an average- we are not looking at starwars kind popularity).

    each user needs to have atleast 100 mbps or more for an average viewing (this too is very conservative=consider HDTV).

    10,000 * 100 mbps= 1,000,000 mbps=100 gbps (take 1 gbps=1000 mbps )

    now what are we looking at? serving 10,000 people? eh!

  23. Re:Too Telling on Microsoft Reports OSS Unix Beats Windows XP · · Score: 1

    I think M$'s reply would be like this:

    We have two versions of the whitepaper. This is a research whitepaper, you should not use this seriously when making commercial decisions. We also have a commercial whitepaper which you should use to make a decision when you want to decide which OS to choose, and we know what OS you should choose ;)
