JDPower Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Thats absolutely mad - "Sigbritt will now be able to enjoy 1,500 high definition HDTV channels simultaneously. Or, if there is nothing worth watching there, she will be able to download a full high definition DVD in just two seconds" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Andavari Posted July 14, 2007 Moderators Share Posted July 14, 2007 I wish my connection was that fast. She has a very good son to hook her up with such a fast connection! So the connection can download a DVD's amount of data in 2 seconds, but can the hdd actually write the received data that fast to disk? I can imagine the hdd moaning and hurling at the rate of data being written to it that fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_ Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 It is highly probably that the U.S military has something faster, after all is was them who invented the concept that later become the Internet. Not forgetting the consideration that they somewhat have a decent enough budget to get the fastest connection there is. http://www.last.fm/user/Matt714 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
login123 Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 I can imagine the hdd moaning and hurling at the rate of data being written to it that fast. Not to mention shrapnel. . . edit: From near the bottom of that article: "The most difficult part of the whole project was installing Windows on Sigbritt's PC," said Jonsson. Ya gotta love it. The CCleaner SLIM version is always released a bit after any new version; when it is it will be HERE :-) Pssssst: ... It isn't really a cloud. Its a bunch of big, giant servers.
