Unless someone knew the exact url of a certain PM, they won't get to see them (the "logged in as someone else" thing is basicly just a cached version of the page on which you're logged in. The person isn't exactly logged in as you ... blah...blah....blah) |

Having never bought off of Amazon I can't say, but as long as they don't display the credit card information after you enter it, most likely not. | |||

Lots of searches cache web pages. :\ I'd go with satire here, although IF you ended up logged in as someone else on a message board... that's not Google's problem. I doubt it saves form data. |

This thread's title reminded me of something... I say downloading the internet would be silly. Also impossible (and illogical). |

I wonder how much total information Google has cached by now...and how many rooms full of hard drives it would take to store it all. | |||

We should continually create blank freesites (Geocities, Angelfire) just to delay their process that much more. Edit Follows... On a more serious note, it is unfeasable with our current technology to "download the internet." I've heard from the Discovery Channel that each year, two terrabytes of information are created worldwide, and uploaded to the internet. But of course, it doesn't happen all at once. It's not as if 2TB suddenly appears, and they're given a year to catch up. Thousands of megabytes are created every few seconds, I could imagine. I'm not good with math; if 2TB are created a year, how much information is that per second? (edited by Slay on 05-12-05 10:48 PM) |

Hmm, that doesn't seem like much. I bothered to do the caculation and it turns out to be 34865.2850001902587519026 bytes per second. The probability of a computer sustaining 35k per second is likely, but not for a full year. Most Windows and Mac-based computers shut down after a month or so of being left on. Add the stress of the constant download (it can't waver below 35k per second or it fails) and it does seem quite impossible with our current technology. Not to mention that it takes time to search for the new information, and with the current advent of bloggers, there's simply no way, the information is created too sporadically. | |||

Originally posted by Banedon Probably only one or two. I'd lean towards one, as well. I mean... there're 1TB hard drives out there, and google isn't caching downloadable files (99% of the time, at least; I found The Sims 2 in google's cache once. XD) |

Heh, The Sims 2? On Google? I wonder how much pirated software we could find on Google's cache. | |||

Originally posted by Slay Well, two things: 1) It's an average. Some people might barely upload anything while others are putting up several gigs with their ridiculously fast connections. 2) It's not per user, it's total. Which does make it seem pretty damn small. |

Originally posted by windwakerOriginally posted by Gelion I find it intriguing about the double-standard people use. Just because Google happens to have a kick-ass marketing campaign and a well-funded PR department shouldn't mean that it isn't open to the same kind of scrutiny Microsoft is under. I wish I remember what article that came from. Because it's a damn true quote. |

Originally posted by Slay Very possible to download faster or slower than 35k at times. And if they go faster than 35k they can afford to have some downtime... but still trying something like that would be so...improbable. It could in theory be possible if you were on something like a t3 connection and you had billions upon billions of dollars. But all for the sake of helping people. Yeah that's not happening. |
