COMCAST, YOU DOG!

Comcast Adjusts Way It Manages Internet Traffic

Published: March 28, 2008
SAN FRANCISCO — Comcast, the country’s largest residential Internet provider, said on Thursday that it would take a more equitable approach toward managing the ever-expanding flow of Web traffic on its network.
The cable company, based in Philadelphia, has been under relentless pressure from the Federal Communications Commission and public interest groups after media reports last year that it was blocking some Internet traffic of customers who used online software based on the popular peer-to-peer BitTorrent protocol.
Comcast said it would change its fundamental approach to playing Internet traffic cop. Instead of interfering with specific online applications, it will manage traffic by slowing the Internet speeds of its most bandwidth-hogging users when traffic is busiest.
“In the event of congestion, the half percent of people who are overutilizing an excessive amount of capacity will be slowed down subtly until capacity is restored,” the chief technology officer for Comcast, Tony G. Werner, said. “For the other 99.5 percent, their performance will be maintained exactly as they expect it.”
Mr. Werner said he hoped to have the new system in place by the end of the year.

PIG POWDER RE-GROWS FINGER

CAN PIG POWDER REGROW A FINGER?THIS! PROVES IT CAN!!

BIG BOAT

This is a new ship Wal-Mart had built to make 10 day cycles betweenChina and the USA . It can load and refuel in less than one day. A ships beam is its width if you are a landlubber.



All I can say is if it ever sinks, Wal-mart and a lot of US consumers will be in trouble.





Wal-Mart SHIP FROM CHINA






This is how Wal-Mart gets all its stuff from China . Get a load of this ship!

15,000 containers and a 207' beam! And look at the crew-size for a ship

longer than a US aircraft carrier which has a complement of 5,000 men and

officers.

Think it's big enough? Notice that 207' beam means it was NOT designed for
the Panama or Suez Canal . It is strictly transpacific. Check out the
cruise speed: 31 knots means the goods arrive 4 days before the typical
container ship (18-20 knots) on a China-to-California run. So this
behemoth is hugely competitive carrying perishable goods.

This ship was built in three, or perhaps as many as five sections. The

sections floated together and then were welded. The ship is named

Emma Maersk. The command bridge is higher than a 10-story building

and has 11 crane rigs that can operate simultaneously.
