Fox is like a week late!

But in any case, that's pretty sweet, even if totally useless. :)

Yeah.. no hard drive can write the data that quickly, so it's entirely pointless. :p

Forget the Hard drive, no server can serve up her download at those speeds.
One must ask oneself: "do I will trolling to become a universal law?" And then when one realizes "yes, I do will it to be such," one feels completely justified.

Probably not, but some RAIDs might come close.

That would have to be a very large array... would need to be able to write 5120 megabytes a second of data.

Well, considering SATA 2 is 3.0 Gbps, it'd only have to be 2-3 drives, depending on the configuration.  Hell, my RAID can do that. :P

Oh yeah.  I forgot about SATA.  I'm so used to my IDE writing at 16mb/s haha. That's why I thought of a large array.

I think I heard about that--it's supposed to be called the Internet or something.

Yeah, harddrives would have trouble with it, 40-gbit network cards are extremely expensive and hard to find, and servers (hell, Internet backbones) wouldn't be able to serve that quickly. Even with bittorrent, your ISP's network would probably be under too much strain.

Although, considering this is a granny's first computer and it runs Windows, it's going to make a hell of a bot. :)

It's a demonstration of backbone interconnect technology and not access technology.  An equipped CRS-1 is going to set you back more than your current house.

The point of the demonstration was not to say "this is a residential connection".
