We have a MAN (Metropolitan Area Network) Called Bitnet, Borlänge IT Network (http://www.bitnet.net/) comprised of about 70 kilometers of lit fiber, and 300 kilometers of empty tubing waiting for future fiber. Neighbourhoods are connected with either straight fiber into the homes, 100Mbit ethernet (copper), or 10Mbit ethernet. My house is connected with 2 fiber pairs to a switch in the basement, providing me with 10Mbit ethernet access (probably to be upgraded to 100Mbit within a year), I have, like those in Umeå, full bandwidth within the MAN and on SUNET (Swedish University Network), we have a gigabit uplink to the local univ, providing peering to SUNET..
4-5ms ping reply and never below 1Mbyte/sec from ftp.sunet.se, probably the best mirror server in the world, 300 kilometers away.. =)
Oh, well.. I'm heading to the office now, also connected to bitnet, but at 100Mbit full duplex, so I never have to write cd's or bring floppies, I just leave my servers on here and access them in any way I like from work, att full LAN speed.. Quite excellent.
Thank you.

Hehe, ah, well.. moderators have always been strange...;)
It was fun when I overclocked my old LC III to 33MHz and it reported as a performa 460;) almost went back to 25MHz because of that;)
All I can say, I'm perfectly happy with my old G3!

My G3/400 (B&W) turns 3 years old next month.. still a very nice workhorse on them adobe apps and I use it heavily with both photoshop and illustrator... it's fun to see the pc (windows) users with their new GHz boxes struggle away...:)
From what I've heard about IPv6, DoS attacks are alot easier to control there...
IRCnet has quite a few ipv6 server running, but as they are also quite limited to their surrounding univs etc due to beeing ipv6 only, where people tend to be clued, and not scriptkiddies, I don't think they've been put to any serious tests... well.. some minor incidents where the ipv6 tunnels have been cracked and DoS attacks against ipv6 hosts have been performed..
The most ipv6 abuse I've seen are funny ip-ending like:dead:fed and such..;)
If someone is clued in on ipv6, please brief us on DoS controlling if I'm totally off here.
Well... my rc5 output isnt even visible on my mrtg of course... only 3 puters cracking at home;)
Not even the keymaster would use enough bandwidth to even lag anything above modem afaik...
I almost use SMS more than IRC or ICQ sometimes, or use SMS to get people to get on IRC or ICQ;)
But email... I use that to get forgotten passwords mailed, pretty much:P
My neighbourhood has a fiber backbone linking ~50 Cisco 1924 switches providing us with ethernet access.. 4 neighbourhoods here have 100Mbit and some, like my neighbourhood have 10Mbit.. 3 neighbourhoods even have fiber in their walls and you get a fiber nic in the package when signing up... wellwell..
All neighbourhoods are also interconnected in a fiber MAN... Nice for them dvdrips;)
This is Borlänge, in Sweden...
Hope you get your ethernet in the states soon so we can bring that transatlantic bandwidth to it's knees;)
Sooo much 137/138 traffic.. it's a constant 15-20kbyte/sec flow of NetBIOS crap on broadcast.. I'm on a neighbourhood switched ethernet network with about 300-400 windows running computers.. I guess I should set up a firewall some day to block this...
Yesterday, http://www.flashback.se/ was taken down by the bandwidth suppliers MCI WorldCom and KPNQwest, Flashback buys their bandwidth from Air2Net, a supplier under MCI, and Air2Net is forced by MCI to close their pipes to flashback, or loose their contract.. so now Flashback is down because "big brother"-MCI says so..
Flashback has an underground-news e-zine mailed to over 100.000 users, and has been hosting controversial sites on their webhotel that other ISP's do not dare to keep...
I know phrack is still up, but I feel this is a valid point in this discussion...
Well.. then people would have to change pass if they forget, not that it would be a problem as they can change later to their password they use everywhere, like their mothers name or such hard-to-crack passwords.:P
Hrm.. I am typing this on an IBM Copper PowerPC (750L(LoneStar)) atm.
By the way, Motorola is the cause of IBM not beeing able to release 500MHz+ G4's atm as Motorola cannot do it themselves, they do not let IBM do it either, as Motorola owns the AltiVec rights, they can (and have) done that.
My school was getting a DV editing station, lower grade, pIII 500 with DVraptor and 27GB scsi..
And when we finally got the puter, the idiots had put a 27GB ide hd in it, cause that was cheaper. *lol*
I can capture like 5-6 secs before the hd craps out:)
while, at home, on my baseconfigged blue & white G3, I can capture whatever I need.. so I capture at home and get the huge files over ftp from home.. (bandwidth is a good thing to have):P
Slashdot Mirror
Not even a remotely funny one at that :P
Of course we only have ~1ms within bitnet.. what fiber network within swedish-city-size would go above that?
;)

How would a superconducting cable stand against fiber?
Now that could be a cute contest...
Yeah, noticed that... I even printed it, so I have the page, with the error and all piece of shit info on it up on my wall, hehe ;)
Warms my heart as a macuser since 1988... =)

If you read the FAQ, you see:
The power supply gets replaced by the one provided with the rack box, which is an industrial-grade one meant for serving.
So, he's not using the iMac powersupply.
It was not a pirate channel, they took over the commercial channels and broadcasted on them.

I need a pair of sinologic 16 datagloves... hrm, there are lots of strange stuff in johnny mnemonic
