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.

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.

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.

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.

Trouble always comes at the wrong time.

Working...
