What do you mean hurry up? I live in Australia, and in I've been using my 24Mbit ADSL2+ connection in Brisbane (which is going through my Adelaide ISP, but I transfered it when I moved for college).

I know I'm quoting myself, but look at my signature..

a) Why does it say 44Mbit when I'm using 24Mbit?
b) Why does it think I'm in Adelaide and not Brisbane? (must be the way my Adelaide ISP assigns IPs)

Btw - I'm not complaining about a).

Oh dear. That's a large data transfer rate. Mine is only 400 kbit...

Seriously though, this election the Labour government is saying 'let's upgrade our whole broadband network and stop using copper wires!'...

I agree there. ATM 24 mbit is the limit because that is the maxium (really, the maximum) that the line can handle.

Cable internet may be faster? Fibre optic broadband, now we're talking

. Even so, light takes time to travel.

I heard you can get VDSL (up to 54 mbit) in some areas of the ACT.

Yes i agree has is no views in the Web 2.0 sense, becasuse despite losing it, he still has no wish to live off the insecurities of a bllion boring teenagers. Unfortunately over the past couple of months Google and everything else covered under the "AJAX" bullshit term has been labelled Web 2.0, despite the fact that it clearly is not. I only commented that his views of a webOS were a minimal OS for viewing the web and then services provided on the web in the same way as AJAx etc.

The good news is it will not somehow replace the fact that the server(s) hosting the service needs a operating system, and the client will need some sort of light weight operating system, advanced BIOS, or BIOS front end to connect to this service in which, both the server and client will need a operating system to effect --- I think.

It is not the speed (latency) that you should be concerned with, but the throughput - as the speed of a electromagnetic wave (light, and electricity but not electron velocity) are the same.

The frequency that DSP chips can operate at and interference. The fiber optics just remove the interference, and lower signal attenuation tremendously compared to copper (which increase distance) - not that they are actually faster.

Photons and electrons both speed up and slow down, and never reach the speed of light except in a vacuum.

You can run a normal OS from a web browser, if you have latest java
Heres DexOS running in one:

NOTE: It only seem to work in XP, maybe vista, as a side note you can assemble in the ide and test it.

All I get is a funny looking jigsaw piece, and if I click on it I get a message saying "This page contains information of the type (application/x-java-applet;version=1.6) that can only be viewed with the appropriate plugin".

I'm running Gentoo with the most current (stable) version of Java available in the Gentoo repository - do I need to switch to Vista to run it?

Cheers,

Brendan

Hi,

I'm running on Windows XP with IE7 and it all works. I'm using 4mb broadband but it runs extremely slowly (press down to use the menu, and 30 seconds later (I timed it!), the highlight bar moves down.

I must say it's pretty impressive seeing it, despite being slow.

Cheers,
Adam

I tried it with Safari 2.0.4 on Mac OS 10.4.10 and it didn't work (Java applet failed to load).
