One can never be too young,
too rich,
or have too much bandwidth.

a new data transfer protocol for the Internet that makes today’s high-speed Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) connections seem lethargic.

So what? My cable modem service makes most DSL connections seem lethargic! ;O)

The comparison of BIC-TCP to DSL is specious; I presume that's the journalist talking.

It seems to be comparing the theoretical maximum performance of one protocol (no channel bitrate limitations) to another protocol over a known finite bitrate channel (although the article doesn't state its assumptions, by saying 'DSL' they must mean between 380 and 1500 Kb/s).

It's apples and a$$holes.

Of course, the writer of the article may have jumbled up the story so much that my interpretation is wrong.

Soon after September 11, 2001, I rented five days on a rack of Cisco equipment at NC State early on in my preparation for a top Cisco Cisco certification (CCIE), which I achieved in August 2002. It was a very educational experience. They had a knowledgeable grad student who was helpful. NC State has lots of other IT lab equipment and many continuing education programs. All-in-all, I came away with a favorable impression of NC State.

25 years from now, we will be able to download every piece of music ever recorded in less than a minute. And we will still have plenty of space left on our hard drives to download every movie ever filmed.

The only drawback is that Windows 2028 will have things slowed down to a crawl, but Bill Gates IV promises that the upcoming Windows 3031 will have significant improvements in speed, taking full advantage of the 512-bit processors of the day. Also, Windows 3031 is expected to have security enhancements as well.
