title: #First 500 Terabytes Transmitted via LHCGlobal Grid#

description: #neutron_p writes &quot;When the LHC Computer Grid starts operating in 2007, it will be the most data-intensive physics instrument on the planet. Today eight major computing centers successfully completed a challenge to sustain a continuous data flow of 600 megabytes per second on average for 10 days from CERN in Geneva, Switzerland to seven sites in Europe and the US. The total amount of data transmitted during this challenge -- 500 terabytes -- would take about 250 years to download using a typical 512 kilobit per second household broadband connection.&quot;#

description: #An anonymous reader writes &quot;The NETI@home Internet traffic statistics project (featured in Wired and Slashdot previously) has a quick analysis on the malicious traffic they observed. It&apos;s a rough world out there.&quot; Perhaps not suprising, but still disheartening, the researchers find among other things that a large portion of typical end-user traffic consists of malicious connection attempts.#

description: #petrus4 writes &quot;Groklaw has an update on the Laura DiDio saga. Apparently, her complaints about &quot;Linux extremists&quot; notwithstanding, cooler heads than the usual suspects are asking questions about her research. A very interesting read, and one which will hopefully encourage corporate readers to regard the Yankee Group&apos;s findings with the requisite metric ton of salt in the future.&quot;#
