I didn't mean to hijack this thread and turn it into a Google Wave thread. DC already has two threads dedicated to Wave.

I'll PM you my details and then I'll shut up about Wave in this thread. :)

IT experts at a firm in South Africa said it takes up to six hours to transfer four gigabytes of encrypted data between two of its offices which lie 50 miles apart.

I don't think that is so crazy.

I think the point is that sometimes we use the internet when other methods would be faster.

In the above example ...
1 copy the 4GB onto a USB drive = 1 hour (my PC can do that)
2 drive 50 miles at 50mph = 1 hour
3 drive back = 1 hour
total time taken 3 hours ... or 1/2 that of the existing method

Hmmm...

My guess is that if you tried the carrier pigeon approach in the USA you'd go to prison because:

1) Carrier pigeons aren't Sarbanes-Oxley compliant.
2) Flying without FAA approval, or SEC approval, or... ???
3) You're a terrorist

Not really sure whether you'd go to prison for #1 or #2, but even if you're not caught for that, there's always #3 as a "catch-all". ;)

Wonder if the experiment worked out without iron bracelets. :)
