[QUOTE="spiney, post: 259742, member: 192438"] Saturlight ..... The British Library isn't just that new building by King's Cross station, they also have large storage facilities in other places, i forget where, you'll have to look it up. They also now have a very interesting electronic data preservation project! But, I believe the USA library of congress is the world's largest, both printed and sound. The Internet uses TCP/IP protocols, always! But, this is "encapsulated" in different ways, depending on the link method, eg, dialup, DSL, ethernet, wireless, etc ...... The Web is "added on top" of the Internet, above the TCP, and uses http, for the hypertext links to work (but, you can still use the internet without using the web, eg telnet, etc). Proprietry data formaqts - eg Bitorrent - are then added on top of the web, that's a "third layer up". Yes, DSL is "a minor miracle", it's amazing we can get 8MB/s - or higher - down a phoneline supposedly for analogue voice, 300 - 3500 Hz. The catch being, signal attenuation is huge, hence distance is limited. [/QUOTE]
