"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

Just wait, once I2 becomes available to the public, somebody somewhere in the world will figure out a way to break the DRM part of it. Another few million dollars down the drain........


I do think it is interesting the RIAA was willing to join them considering that the RIAA sued them earlier this year......

Most places with Internet2 access already have pretty strong access restrictions, so this is rather pointless.

This really caught my eye.

[q]But a year ago, I2 moved 859GB of data across the network between Geneva, Switzerland and Pasadena, California in less than 17 minutes, a transfer rate of 6.63 Gbits/s.[/q]Holy ****.  Where do I sign up?

Now we just need a pair of tactical nukes. One for the RIAA's headquarters, and one for the MPAA's.
