i can't think of anyone that *doesn't* use "hobo" these days. "homeless person" is what my mother or a press release would use. ]]>May 4th 2007 12:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/03/smoking-kills-internet2/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/03/smoking-kills-internet2/May 4th 2007 1:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/03/smoking-kills-internet2/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/03/smoking-kills-internet2/May 4th 2007 1:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/03/smoking-kills-internet2/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/03/smoking-kills-internet2/May 4th 2007 2:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/03/smoking-kills-internet2/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/03/smoking-kills-internet2/May 4th 2007 5:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/03/smoking-kills-internet2/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/03/smoking-kills-internet2/
but if it's redundant, isn't the whole idea if one link goes down, there are others to pick up the slack? unless networking has somehow changed the definition of the word...]]>May 4th 2007 4:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/03/smoking-kills-internet2/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/03/smoking-kills-internet2/
@ascian and Matt: Read again. The speed seems to be archieved by getting rid of any redundancy... I wonder where the use of this Internet2 is though... maybe to connect universities etc., but still, wouldn't at least a bit of redundancy make sense?]]>May 4th 2007 8:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/03/smoking-kills-internet2/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/03/smoking-kills-internet2/May 4th 2007 5:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/03/smoking-kills-internet2/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/03/smoking-kills-internet2/May 4th 2007 9:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/03/smoking-kills-internet2/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/03/smoking-kills-internet2/May 4th 2007 9:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/03/smoking-kills-internet2/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/03/smoking-kills-internet2/May 4th 2007 9:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/03/smoking-kills-internet2/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/03/smoking-kills-internet2/
If you are wondering what the heck a pipe this big is doing on an old subway bridge, it is steps from MIT, which I'm sure is one of the big players in i2.

The issue raised by many is how the heck all that abandoned trash could go unnoticed under this bridge, when they were making such a big deal about some harmless LED signs on neighboring bridges. You would have to undertand boston to even begine to fathom an explaination to that one.

And you can rest assued if some bum were to cut the 20meg glass coming into my house, he'd have a lot more than a burning matress to worry about. ;)]]>May 4th 2007 11:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/03/smoking-kills-internet2/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/03/smoking-kills-internet2/May 4th 2007 4:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/03/smoking-kills-internet2/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/03/smoking-kills-internet2/ "he internet was not designed to withstand a nuclear attack."

Yeah...that would be giving Al Gore WAY too much credit...

"In Germany 16 mbps is somewhat common, but in some areas we have up to 50 mbps."

Ah...you make me miss Japan. 20mbps was normal...50mbps common...100mbps an easily attainable luxury. In the bigger cities of course, out in the sticks where I was 50mbps was pretty well top notch.

All of which smokes the 5mbps I'm getting here in SILICON VALLEY...]]>May 4th 2007 7:22PM
