Saturday, March 8 Scientists: Internet speed record smashed //www.cnn.com/2003/TECH/internet/03/07/speed.record/index.html (CNN) -- Offering a glimpse of a faster digital future, researchers announced they have set a new Internet speed record. Scientists at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center used fiber-optic cables to transfer 6.7 gigabytes of data -- the equivalent of two DVD movies -- across 6,800 miles in less than a minute. The team was able to transfer uncompressed data at 923 megabits per second for 58 seconds from Sunnyvale, California, to Amsterdam, Netherlands. That's about 3,500 times faster than a typical Internet broadband connection. SCHWEEEEEEEEEEET. =D Dragged out of Christopher's memory and pasted into his blog at 3/08/2003 05:35:00 PM. Roughly.
