I hope you enjoy your alcohol andventure :)

will do ^^ i'll have a drink on u m8

cheers my friend

I need that chip then

@ vaio & dtewi - (approx)1000 mb = 1 gb, (approx)1000 gb= 1 tb, (approx) 1000 tb = 1 pb (pedobyte - no Im not making it up =) )

as to the op, good stuff, opening a new doorway to high speed data transfer. Making that reality of high speed digital distribution easily achievable in the next 5 years.

Time to move to Japan.

How is it "easily achievable in the next 5 years" at least outside of major population centers, when it requires fiberoptic connected homes for this technology to work? Large countries with low population densities such as Canada, Australia, Russia and presumably even the United States will probably never see widespread deployment of fiberoptic networks in their rural to suburban communities.

In modern notation, 1TB == 1000GB. MB and its friends have come to mean 1000 to the power of X (decimal units). They used to mean 1024 to the power of X (binary units). In old operating systems, you'll see disk space denoted in MB or GB. Modern O/Ses use MiB and GiB, but that doesn't necessarily mean MB = decimal and MiB = binary. In common speech, people still use MB and GB to refer to the binary units. It's often up to the reader/listener to discern which units a person might be referring to based on the context. For instance, when talking about hard drives, MB often refers to the decimal unit. When talking about RAM, MB is always the binary unit.

Both of you are wrong (above). The actual tables look something like this:

For binary notation:

1 bit = 1b
8 x 1b = 1B (one byte)
1024 x 1B = 1KiB (one kilobyte or "kibibyte")
1024 x 1KiB = 1MiB (one megabyte or "mebibyte")
1024 x 1MiB = 1GiB (one gigabyte or "gibibyte")
1024 x 1GiB = 1TiB (one tebibyte)
1024 x 1TiB = 1PiB (one pebibyte)

For decimal notation:

1 bit = 1b
8 x 1b = 1B (one byte)
1024 x 1B = 1KB (one kilobyte)
1024 x 1KB = 1MB (one megabyte)
1024 x 1MB = 1GB (one gigabyte)
1024 x 1GB = 1TB (one terabyte)
1024 x 1TB = 1PB (one petabyte)

No, bardicverse, it's not a pedobyte. That would be a byte with its bits engineered specifically for children, which makes no sense.

Good to hear but right now if ISPs would freaking upgrade their main hubs it would be freaking nice. BigFoot Network's tech in ISP hubs and servers would be nice right now.
