Safe for work by the way. -deedadee
Dammit, now I will never complete my life's goal -DarkRookie
Ah, memories - it's YEARS since I was able to manage a 100gb/sec burst... ;-) -Gromit
Burrkiss would know, he put most of it there -objekt404
Or at least he'd like us to think he did... -chazz
Nah, he just put the "AHHH my eyes" type up. And with the bandwidth used he sure is surfing a lot of it! -Wolfie0827
keep in mind how much of that is doubles of the same stuff.
-Icelator
This information should revolutionize how broadband speeds are measured: instead of bytes-per-second, we could measure nipples-per-second. "When we were stuck with satellite, we were happy to see 300KNps; with DSL, we're up to 2.2 MNps." -MeanDean
Whoops, I thought of a flaw in my plan. Download speeds would be affected by cold temperatures. -MeanDean
Yeah, cold would effect the download speeds, they would go up! But just think you could also increase your speed by tickling it it the right spot! -Wolfie0827
@ Wolfie: "Honey, why are you licking the router?" -MeanDean
Actually, it seems to me that, if we accept that 1s are slower than 0s on the network wire because they have more trouble getting around sharp corners, wouldn't cold (and licking) slow the data down? -chazz
No, because no corners, they sick out straight! -Wolfie0827
Waidaminit... as nipples are in pairs and sit in parallel (as opposed to in series) the correct unit of measurement should be Pairs of Nipples Per Second, or PNPS. -Gromit
Just don't try to make them into twisted pair, you'll get slapped at the least. -Wolfie0827
Are you sure, Wolfie? -srteach
Yeah, I once tried making the left one the right on and right one the left, I got slapped! -Wolfie0827
Chazz, I always thought the 1s were faster because they could fit down the tubes better. the 0s sometimes get stuck. get flipped on their sides ect. -drachen
Drachen, if all the tubes were straight, that would be true. But tubes get bent, particularly at home... and the 1s, being longer and straight, get caught in the corners, which the nice round 0s just bounce through. Ever seen a bunch of fast-moving 1s fail to navigate a corner in a home cabling job and stick into the cable casing? It's not pretty. -chazz
So that explains all the bulges in the ... cables. -aeddan
No, that's what happens win you play with the nipples too much, it's called Blue something or other. -Wolfie0827

London TSC members, please check in http://gizmodo.com/5905676/man-holding-london-building-captive-with-homemade-bomb -virusjtg No big deal - they've arrested a guy. Appears to have been some extremely pissed-off nutjob who had been refused an HGV (Heavy Goods Vehicle i.e. friggin' great truck) license. Just as well, IMHO. -Gromit |
