Living in Tokyo. I think that the 30G per day is to low, I am happy I do not have OCN as my ISP. Is there any reason except from the network for the ISP will run slower? What about upgrading..
Good there is ton's of competition, I have around 20 different providers than can give me fiber here.
Here you can get fiber installed at home for free when I got it.. might be 10.000 yen now not sure.
The good think is that you can fly back again the same day and have no jetlag.
Like the old Concorde you could fly from London and have a meeting in New York and be back for dinner in London.
Ideal for meeting between Tokyo and New York with Helicopter in both places for commuting.

31 March 2006 12:53 by Dela [picture]Toshiba began selling its first player for the HD DVD format today in Japan, beating the rival Sony-made Blu-Ray Disc format to the starting line. The HD-XA1, priced at about 110,000 yen ($936), is the world's first commercially available HD DVD player. In April, this product will be available in the United States for around $799. It was planned to be launched this month, but unavoidable delays pushed the date back a few weeks. Movies on the HD DVD format will arrive in Japan in April also, but will be even more limited than the U.S. launch line-up.
Blu-ray Disc players are still months away from arrival, with Panasonic (Matsushita) and Samsung planning to get their players in quickly for prices of $1000 and more. Blu-ray enthusiasts were upset by the delay of the PlayStation 3 (PS3) console launch, which will now be in November. Despite the staggering number of PlayStation fans wanting to buy the console to asses its next-gen gaming abilities, it is also viewed as a "cheap Blu-ray player" as it includes a Blu-ray drive.
Supporters of Blu-ray are also not shy to cite the gaming console's ability to play Blu-ray movies as being a major part of the format's push for dominance. Microsoft, which backs the HD DVD format, has announced plans to provide an external HD DVD drive to provide a similar "cheap high definition player" to gamers who already own an Xbox 360 console. This clear tie between the next generation console war and next generation format war has been frowned upon occasionally, with one such critic being Warner Home Video president, Warren Lieberfarb.
The HD-XA1, launched today in Japan, has backward compatibility so owners can still enjoy their DVD and CD collections. DVDs can also be upconverted to output resolution of 720p or 1080i which is useful if you own a good HDTV. It supports the video compression standards of MPEG-4 AVC and VC-1, as well as MPEG2, it utilizes a new video decoder chip developed by Broadcom. The mandatory audio formats for HD DVD include both lossy and lossless formats from Dolby Labs and DTS. It features built-in multi-channel decoders for Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD (2 channel), DTS and DTS-HD.
We have taller buildings that the Empire State building (ok is old) so we can accelerate faster;)
I look forward to get 1 Gbit to my home here in Japan soon.

No put you can raid 5 with some USB harddrives and convert it to a LAN drive. I not sure if this has performance enough for you but you can then put a WIFI at the back and have a network raid 5 server;)
Slashdot Mirror
Will that run on Wimax?
Agree.. I switched my ISP some last year and got an NEC router (since I live in Japan), and only had to reboot by router 3 times in one year.
Before when I had Linksys WRT54G i had to reboot it often.
I will NEVER buy any Linksys products afain.

I guess you meant 4 GPU lifetimes ;)
But hype is good.. and the programming is sooo much easier with CT..
