Via Tim Bray, a conversation with Jim Gray:
Clear your schedule, because once you've started reading this interview, you won't be able to put it down until you've finished it.Yesterday evening - looking out over the beautiful Seattle waterfront - I had exactly the same conversation with a friendly retired couple who asked me how I managed to be on the net, sitting on a downtown bench. We got to talking about digital pictures -- I'd left my camera at home -- and agreed that the only sensible way to ship lots of pictures around was by post.Who would ever, in this time of the greatest interconnectivity in human history, go back to shipping bytes around via snail mail as a preferred means of data transfer? (Really, just what type of throughput does the USPS offer?)
We'll fix that one sometime soon, right?
But, as the saying goes, never underestimate the bandwidth of a truck full of DVDs...
