Landspeed record broken

Landspeed record broken
For data. Sorry. This was way below my “level” on slashdot (how does that level thing work?), so it’s a bit out of date - it happened last month if you look at the history of this competition.

California to Sweden, 838860800000 bytes (840Gb) in 1588 seconds (26 mins) = 4226 Mbit/sec over 16,343 km = 69 Petabit-meters/second (Peta is 1015 as you well know)

That’s 1000CDs or about 160 DVDs in half an hour.

Blimey.
