That's nice, but I have never seen a computer that can parse 100gb or news
groups per day let alone the average 35 million users simultaneously. For
this to work, the FBI might as well purchase Intel or Compaq, because
without an overwhelming number of processors (probably 10 per inet user),
they wouldn't have a clue to what is being passed. Hey, wait a minute.
Where are they going to store it. Did they build the moon into a new type
of hard drive array or something. 30 million * avg second download (4kb) =
120Tb (TERRA) bytes per second world wide. Then again, I work for the
government. We still have several 486dx33's in our building. Well, so much
for that idea.
When they can successfully add more that 1mb or ram to the space shuttle,
I'll be worried.
