Not *this* Earth, what with real equipment and all. I get 22ms to my home machine less than 6 miles from my work machine via DSL. Both machines have very good connectivity, but there are delay artifacts in the world. And pinging ctr.columbia.edu from my machine in Southern California gets me 70 ms. Neither of those should show the DSL artifact. Columbia's not 9065 miles away, even by wire length. And, not to be too pedantic, you've calculated the 2/3c distance for 110ms, not 11 ms. :-) --sXc4Kmr5FA7axrvy Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (FreeBSD) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE8Bvx6aUz3f+Zf+XsRAuUQAJ9Lsktmoi0jJzIqVj+3WuVtFXUpFACdEJEr RUqhLc/J4KOeTGUbmqcFGFM= =0UPa -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --sXc4Kmr5FA7axrvy-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
