HAS ANYBODY SEEN THIS? by BadassITgod2003-01-13 06:12:08

total horse hockey to me... at least if they are really claiming what they seem to infer, which is that effective transfer rates (BW) over a conventional modem are ~5x faster. So this software can convince not only the local hardware, but also the hardware at the other end of the link (ISP modem rack) to go ~5x faster. That's some powerful software, but I guess you gotta get something from 3/4 million lines of code written by a 16 year old!

I'd bet this is really a matter of caching of some kind. Anyone remember "push" technology? It just about brought our systems to a grinding halt...

The media reminds me of that old line from a classic Bugs Bunny toon, I believe it was "What's Opera, Doc?":

What a gulli-BULL, what a nin-COW-poop...

It's all really unfair to the kid
