- inactive, on 09/09/2009, -0/+10This is why consumers will not tolerate bandwidth caps.
- celotil, on 09/09/2009, -0/+7*Stares at his unlimited but slow 512Kb/512Kb SDSL connection*
God damn it. - appleofdischord, on 09/09/2009, -0/+7Because everyone knows what a gigabyte is.
- spritom, on 09/08/2009, -5/+11FTA: "One exabyte is a billion gigabytes."
Why note say a thousand petabytes? Or if we're jumbling terms around, how about a million terabytes? Or a trillion megabytes? - iheartbakon, on 09/09/2009, -0/+6Cats on youtube.
- willspence, on 09/09/2009, -0/+5What other kind of video is there on the Internet?
- xino, on 09/09/2009, -0/+3For those that want to know how to pronounce big numbers when not referring to bytes or pronouncing the exact number of bytes without a prefix, it goes like this: duodecillion, undecillion, decillion, nonillion, octillion, septillion, sextillion, quintillion, quadrillion, trillion, billion, million, thousand.
- m6arate, on 09/09/2009, -1/+4and the other 0.1% is boxxy
- inactive, on 09/09/2009, -0/+3This is why money grubbing bastards will enforce bandwidth caps.
And charge like a MF when you go over the limit..
e.g Australia
Telstra charges $20 pw for 5gb bandwidth
Go over and its $150 a gb..
5 for 20
or
1 for $150 fooken dollars..
Do they warn you? Yes, once (Token legal loophole) then you get the bill....$1000 a month...
If ever there was a reason to commit Jihad in Australia there is your target. - betona, on 09/09/2009, -0/+3buffering ... buffering ... buffering ...
- inactive, on 09/09/2009, -0/+2yeah, in america.
- BeforeSputnik, on 09/09/2009, -0/+2wait, are you saying that "zillion" isn't a real number? I could've sworn it was after trillion.
This is like that Pluto incident all over again. - giveer, on 09/09/2009, -1/+3Because by the time we got all the way down to the partridge in the pear tree, we'd all be dead.
- appleofdischord, on 09/09/2009, -0/+2I think 12 yr olds probably know what a megabyte is also. USB thumb drives and SD cards haven't been above a GB for all that long.
- bennison, on 09/09/2009, -0/+2I've yet to see a bajillion.
- Snoogs, on 09/09/2009, -2/+3That doesn't seem so crazy by 2017. That would be 1 Billion people watching 1GB of video.
There are already 1.6B people connected to the internet, and the majority of them have nothing better to do than to sit on spankwire and youtube all day anyway- I think 1GB of streaming video is realistic, especially when the resolutions continue to get higher. That can be eaten up in a matter of minutes, or even seconds with the highest rez we have available now. - inactive, on 09/09/2009, -0/+1I'm 12 and what's a megabyte?
- Culyt, on 09/09/2009, -0/+12017 isn't exactly what I would consider 'soon'. I mean streaming video hasn't exactly been around too long anyway (and when it started out it was RealPlayer... ugh...)
- Culyt, on 09/09/2009, -0/+1Byte = 8 bits
Ki = 1,024 bytes
MB = 1,048,576 bytes
GB = 1,073,741,824 bytes
TB = 1,099,511,627,776 bytes
PB = 1,125,899,906,842,624 bytes
EB = 1,152,921,504,606,846,976 bytes
ZB = 1,180,591,620,717,411,303,424 bytes
YB = 1,208,925,819,614,629,174,706,176 bytes
BB = 1,237,940,039,285,380,274,899,124,224 bytes [Brontobyte]
G?B = 1,267,650,600,228,229,401,496,703,205,376 bytes [Geopbyte] looks like we broke the letter system :/
next is Saganbyte 1298074214633706907132624082305024 - inactive, on 09/09/2009, -0/+1Server error too many connections
- xino, on 09/09/2009, -0/+1Zillion maybe a real number. Maybe it comes some time after duodecillion. On Security Now episode 126, they read this email that someone sent in and said it's possible to say the number represented by 2^128 and then they said it and I just copied and pasted it. Every episode has transcripts so I was able to search quickly. www.grc.com/securitynow
- Culyt, on 09/09/2009, -0/+1Oh and the one after that is Pijabyte. There is also a Keirfabyte which is 1/8th of a bit (yeh that doesn't make sense to be either).
- Bangaarang, on 09/10/2009, -0/+1FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
- woodworms, on 09/09/2009, -0/+1Byte me.
- Bangaarang, on 09/10/2009, -0/+1Earthlink has me capped at 100Kb for $40 a month, gotta love it.
- tuneyfish, on 09/25/2009, -0/+1and I get mad when my site won't upload a 100mb video over my crappy connection
- inactive, on 09/10/2009, -0/+1*drooling* "one million times" - homer
- antdude, on 09/10/2009, -0/+1Or caps!
- sorepheet, on 09/09/2009, -1/+1Title should read; EXXXabytes to account for pr0n
- SummerofGeorge, on 09/09/2009, -1/+1People still get paid for this sort of research?
- MisterCox, on 09/09/2009, -1/+1That is a lot of porn.
- shutaro, on 09/09/2009, -1/+1That's a lot of OM NOM NOMs...
- koolandthegang, on 09/09/2009, -2/+1the Matrix is here.
