Funny story and, well, with large packages it's true with a broadband vs motorcycle.

You know the saying...

Never underestimate the bandwidth of a truck filled with DVDs thundering down the road.

ADSL - Medium bandwidth, low latency, moderate packet loss
Pigeon - High bandwidth, high latency, single packet


What made me chuckle about the Danny Boyle article was this quote:

Carlyle, who played Begbie in the film, said he would "jump through hoops of fire backwards" for the film-maker and would "do Porno tomorrow for nothing."

So it's official. Robert Carlyle wants to make porn for free.
Watch out for his home videos to leak onto a private tracker near you soon.
