sure, but as a cultural mindset, I am suggesting that "growing the This comment kinda sparked a thought in my head (mark the calendar!). Isn't one of the reasons that people bash Vista due to the fact that, as JP's signature would suggest, Vista has effectively nullified Moore's law? Didn't Vista do this by (a) providing <x> new functionality and (b) using <x>^n worth of computing power? Isn't that what would happen with bandwidth? Yeah, we'd have more throughput, but wouldn't we also (eventually?) have a disproportional growth in waste? It's one thing to justify a growth in bandwidth for accommodating new features, but what I see is the suggestion that we need to justify a growth in bandwidth to keep doing what we're already doing. Case and point: Why would I purchase twice the bandwidth if I can only do as much with it (throughput wise, I must note...) as I could before I doubled it? That just seems counterintuitive to me. In the end, I would like to see the amount of overall throughput to each user on the internet grow, but I would also like to see that the bandwidth is managed and used (somewhat) efficiently. That, in my mind, would be the true definition of innovation when it comes to how the industry in general deals with spam. ___________________________________________________________________________ Philadelphia Linux Users Group -- http://www.phillylinux.org Announcements - http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-announce General Discussion -- http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
