Blazing a new data speed record

A group of researchers have found a way to quickly transfer huge amounts of data over computer networks, paving the way for greater global scientific cooperation and future commercial uses.
By shuttling data at a sustained rate of 101 gigabits--the equivalent of three DVD movies--per second between Pittsburgh and Los Angeles, the so-called High Energy Physics team shattered a record for data transfer and won the Supercomputing Bandwidth Challenge, a contest geared toward improving network connection speed for grid computing.
The team sustained the 101-gigabit speed for only a few minutes during the 90-minute demonstration, peaking at just above the 101-gigabit mark. But "we are confident if we did it again...we would sustain the 100+gbps throughput for hours," Harvey Newman, professor of physics at the California Institute of Technology and the head of the team, wrote in an e-mail. Transfer rates of 130gbps to 140gbps are likely possible, he added.

even with that speed, some bastard AOL gimp would lag the server

problem is, even with gigabit current computers seriously fail to keep up with the data rate.
any faster and you need hardcore servers

yup, think its gonna be a long time till were playing CS on a super computer :D
will come in handy for banks n big companies like that, but its basicaly just geeks showing off

so we still dont have a solution to the hit-box problem

...or at least complain about lag whenever they die.

3 DVDs per second! I can see the hormone fueled teen's eyes light up the second they read that...
But no matter how fast the internet goes, it will always take some people half an hour to send an email
These new emoticons make me feel like an AOL noob...all the animatedness...
