And even so, I already have more bandwidth than the last company I worked for had for all the users and customers of their systems, so I could have saturated the corporate link by myself if I were abusing it.

If I were downloading and uploading multi gigabyte images to my home system for any company I've ever worked at, I'd be fired for stealing "company secrets." You use a remote desktop, not do everything locally.
According to my calculations (and experience), your download would have taken about 23 hours, not "a week".
You may "need" a car, but you don't "need" a Porsche.
OMFG! I had to wait like FIFTEEN MINUTES for a movie to download on my link!
HowEVER will I survive!
Name ONE use case other than streaming multiple 4K video channels which REQUIRES anything more than the 6.5Mbit/s connection I already have. Sure if you're serving up a large family you might want to spring for a couple of 20Mbit connections or something, but "need" FTTH?
Hardly.
And just how, precisely, do you think a new terrorist cell springs up if not from someone going crazy over the ideology and following it regardless of whether there is already a local cell or not?
Would you consider the Westboro Baptist parishioners "typical" Christians?
How about the savage butchers of the Crusades?
Of course he was "disturbed". That's the very definition of a "radical" -- someone who takes an ideology to an insane degree. All of the terrorists from ISIL to Boko Harum and around the world are insane. Every single one of them.
But the problem is not Islam. The problem is the crazies. I've read the Koran -- and it, like the Bible, is mostly a document of peace and tolerance. The problem is that the radicals are claiming to be following a "religious ideology" and the legitimate Imams around the world are not doing enough to quote the passages and phrases that condemn the actions of the radicals, leaving people to accept that what the radicals claim as "religious justification" is, indeed, valid when it is anything but.
Oh? And the gunman running around shooting up Parliament doesn't qualify as a terrorist attack? Or the gunman at the nearby mall?
Sure, only a soldier ended up dying, but that's only because the attackers were poor shots.
You have got to be shitting me. Comparing ISIL to the Nazis and demanding troop deployments gets voted down by some ISIL-loving nancy boys?
The world has truly gone to fucking hell. Cowards and sympathizers for the most atrocious acts in the modern world everywhere.
Sickening.
ISIL are the modern Nazis. Will the world rise up against them and storm them on the ground as our forefathers did, or will it sit back and play remote control bomb games with ineffective drones that take out civilians as well as enemy troops?
If possible, it would be interesting to cross compile the code to a modern processor and see how fast it would fly, given the limited capabilities of hardware at the time. Remember, we're talking about 1MHz 16-20 bit processors at the time the project started, if that.
Not much of an "open" source project if you can't even name it, is it?
Then they were fools. The whole point of buying an established company is to buy the brand as well as the factories. Anyone can build a factory, usually for no more than it would cost to buy someone else out.
