Aspirin is right anyway... the day we'll transmit faster than the speed of light, perhaps we'll get negative pings. Boom, ye're dead before I hit the trigger. I pwn severe

Heyyo,

Well, we're getting closer there PMB, now with fiber optic cables n' all... but tha'd cost you like, more than an arm and a leg in price, but like, your soul to go with it.

Ya know what's sad? one of the 1st places fiber optics were put into use here in BC, Canada (eh?) was Surrey... wth? there's nothing in surrey.... lol...

[@$3.1415rin]

in eastern germany there are also a lot of not used fiber optic cables because the std stuff to attach to telephone lines is still copper based, and everything else for the masses would be too expensive ... at least that's the way the main companies think.

PS: the speed of light in fiber optic stuff is slower than in air or vacuum if i'm not mistaken ... but that won't the point there anyway
