I had a movie yesterday that was 60GB. It wasn’t even HD. It was 45 minutes long.
Sounds stupid on your part
When people get their hands on these, I bet you they will charge pretty hefty for them, what’s wrong with having 3.3mb/s speeds and waiting like about 10 minutes to download it? cool it’s one second, but it’s probably also a buttfuck more money.
I was referring to the fact that movies illegally shared through P2P are usually compressed to a filesize around 8Gb
Actually, this DOES pose a significant potential increase in computer ability, even if all other hardware specs were to remain the same, since a lot of the parts in computers spend a great deal of time just waiting for the signals to travel down wires to their destination. If that data was sent as LIGHT and not conducted as electricity, then the computer would spend a significantly smaller amount of time waiting, and be able to spend more time thinking.
Assuming it doesn’t take too long to convert electric impulses to light and then back again.
That shouldn’t be slow. The speed announced by Intel is the speed that the chip is able to convert these impulses. The rest is only communication between internals, which is fast.
AFAIK nowadays the Internet is overloaded, this could be solved with this technology. Less connection problems, less low ping in games…
If you’re thinking of internet via optical cables it’s hardly any news. Some of my friends have it and this is a 60 000 resident city. It’s only lightning fast if it’s optical fibre all the way to the server that you need. One bottleneck is all it takes to make it 56K.
I remember back when my family had dialup and it kept getting slower, until it was like 16K, and downloads were maybe 2k at most, and it would randomly disconnect itself.
ahhhh Dial-up.
Piece of shit.
Zerego, i find that annoying lol.
but nonetheless I still hate it.
