Nothing in this universe is unlimited, so we might as well get rid of the word.

Let me fix that: If you purchased an "unlimited" rope that was rated for "any car", and you tried to haul a fully-loaded dump-truck..... Unlimited "with in reason".

But no definition of what a "server" is. There is a huge grey area, which this person went past, but in general, many every day applications run both as servers and clients.

My ISP say "no servers of any kind", but they says BitTorrent is fine.. well, wtf? Please define "servers". P2P is fine, SSH is fine, remote VPN is fine.. wtf? They're all "servers" by technical definitions.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asynchronous_Transfer_Mode They had a reason

FTTH is almost always cheaper, it just requires a bit more up-front, but it only takes a few years to pay it off.

The only reason companies don't do FTTH is because it makes for a bad quarter report compared to less capital intensive upgrades of old-copper that allows the ISP to charge more and increase revenue.

My ISP just installed a UPS along with the fiber ONT. They said about 12 hours of run-time.

Space near a blackhole can be distorted in a way that causes the space to move faster than c, keeping light from escaping. This can cause light to move backwards relative to an object. Relative to the space that the photon is in, it is still moving forward at c.

Gravity is less than or equal to light. Earth will continue to orbit where the Sun was for 8 minutes. About the exact same time that the light disappears, we will suddenly start moving in a strait line again.

I was just watching a PBS Nova on quantum stuff and one of the more recent tests involved entangling two quantum photons, sending one of those photons several miles away, then entangling the local-photon with another non-quantum photon, causing the local-photon to take on the opposite state of the known-photon, causing the remote-photon to take on yet that photons opposite state, effectively re-creating the exact state of the known-photon, instantly, but destroying the known state of the local known-photon.

This caused that state of a known photon to be transferred faster than light, but did destroy the known state of the original local known-photon in the process. The Doctor said based on this finding, we can transfer information faster than light, but not without destroying the original.

This experiment has been repeated by the same team several times and seems to be very hard to pull off, but is getting setup to be reproduced by others.

That is unless a leading Doctor in quantum physics on the PBS Nova channel is not a reliable source and assuming it's reproducible by other teams.

Many small updates allows them to keep adding features without causing huge breaking changes. It gives everyone enough time to implement the new ways before the old ways are dropped.

I wonder if network bandwidth and latency is creating issues with Amdahl's law and the type of useful algorithms.

Gotta love your ISP throttling.

Using fiber, bandwidth to the last mile is virtual free, but the connections are not. What does this mean? It means user usage does not affect costs on the last mile.

Well, what about the trunk, where they do have to pay for bandwidth? That bandwidth is relatively cheap and is much cheaper than the cost of installing the last mile. Still, bandwidth is not an issue.

But ISPs are changed on peak bandwidth, which has been shown to not be highly affected by "high bandwidth users".

A user doing 100Mb/s from 12am-8am costs less than a user doing 1Mb/s from 5pm-11pm.
