...without so much group delay...

It's only a matter of time................😉

[Red Badger]

When they implant the chip in our brains......................BORG!...............

Press 1 for English...................

It's only a matter of time...

It probably is. I continue to be surprised.

[Red Badger]

That was a pun.....................😉

[dfwgator]

That’s a lot of pr0n.

[Red Badger]

Terminators and Borg don’t need Pr0n.......................

Where was this tech back in the 1998 when I first joined FR. All of those days where the site would freeze because of some big breaking news story.

Now, like then, if this site is down, there is/was nothing on the internet worth reading.

“And all that traffic consisted of cat videos.”

And that’s why they call it PETAbits.

[Scrambler Bob]

Who is going to use petabit networks? For what applications?

Not for your normal computer communication output.

But for monitoring your every video and audio activity.

I think I get it, but I need to find my slide rule to be sure. :)

(no, seriously, many modems at the time would choke while downloading a single JPEG)

Seemed like forever to get to the nipples.

Data testified in the episode of "Measure of a Man" that

"My total linear computational speed has been rated at 60 trillion operations per second."

How does this new chip measure up?

You might be surprised on what you can do with only 10mbit including streaming

My bills are high enough without wasting money

[Gideon7]

Wow, this means we can watch cute cat videos at 100 million HD.

A few weeks ago my credit card expired and so the Spectrum payment didn’t go through. It appears they immediately throttled the bandwidth from the normal 30 down to 3 Mb/sec. Still usable for everything we do except for some video, which would buffer. On submitting the new CC information a few days later, the bandwidth immediately increased to the normal 30.

“Who is going to use petabit networks? For what applications?”

The correct question is ‘What is going to use this to control us’

Understand the numbers if It’s name. Created by humans the numbers were.

I worked at a company that used fiber bragg gratings to deal with group delay. We made a tunable device that could be installed on any length of fiber. It was amazing that we could use a three inch long piece of encoded fiber to replace many kilometers of fiber wound on a spool. The company never made it, though.

The way things are going, it will be “Press 3 for English” in a few years.
