Nobody really needs more than 1mbps. Nobody.
The rest is e-peen.
For the most part in the past six years I've been using far slower connections and it's fine.
I get my usual goods from connections on land and get them handed to me via flash drive or SSD in a caddy when at home port.

Idk how much I would pay for. This is included in my rent so I don't worry about it

[alfa147x]

Aren't you just saying nobody needs more than 1mbps, if they can get the stuff they can't download faster from a different source?

That's mainly a convenience - the chief inconvenience is the wait.
Don't need anything else and sorry to see so many sites using video instead of articles. I'm an avid reader and prefer to read rather than watch a video. It will just make people lazier and (generally) poorer readers, etc.

I do have a special network traffic shaper/caching appliance that keeps certain content delivery network material cached. For example if someone has already watched a youtube clip and I watch it I see it play nearly immediately since it's fetched from a local SAN instead of from the original data site. Up to fairly recently this was still not as good since the appliance and disk arrays were in Miami but now with them onboard it's very nice. The boxes have 6500 TB of SAS enterprise drives with 16TB of enterprise SSD for cache so it's adequately fast.

What size of a boat are you on?

 

[Rubycon]

I'm not on a boat!

 

[alfa147x]

Ship? Isn't that just a large life raft?

 

[Rubycon]

I don't know what constitutes a large life raft - perhaps one of those big blow up slides washed into the ocean?

Generally if a vessel can carry her own tender boats she is considered a ship. And (of course) has a professional crew.

 

[alfa147x]

So how big is it?

 

[Locut0s]

so how big is it? :d

this big: "                                                                               "

Damn. If they had a masculine version of this I would be all over it:

 

[Rubycon]

960 feet LOA
106 feet beam
196 feet tall (including keel)
92,345 tons

 

[alfa147x]

What should i google for a picture?

Large life raft that carries other ships ?

That's really cool. I never realized how big those were till I visited San Diego

 

[alfa147x]

Last time I was there I spent around $300

Looks like a perfect way to tear a hole in your favourite jacket.

Good thing I don't have a favorite jacket. I have favorite coats

But depending on the room and door location that could work perfectly. L

I was not going over my best friend's place for thanksgiving dinner I would beg my parents to come visit me.
