Maybe a 2001 in the title would help?
- hotpotamus 4y agoThe 28.8 was more than enough for me to place the article in time.
- djmips 4y agoIf you're old enough to know what 28.8 means
- scaramanga 4y agoKids these days... :)))
- iso1631 4y ago28.8mbit a second? Wow speeds were slow back then /s
- hotpotamus 4y agoI actually remembered a tidbit that will show my age as well. The first 28.8Kbps modem in the house was bought by my dad and he told me not to tell my mom that he got it because it cost around $500.
- smcl 4y agoAs early as the 2nd of January this year guys were commenting "Can we add (2022) to the title?" for articles that were authored only a couple of days before. It doesn't matter in this case if the article was written in 2001, 2011 or 2021 or even yesterday - the content and the context is clear, I cannot see anyone being confused or tricked by the original title.
- ies7 4y agoWe've 10/100mbps in 2001 and I think 1500 archers on 28.8k hayes is a great challenge no matter what the year.
- IntelMiner 4y agoReminds me of the anecdote of John Carmack developing Quake in the early to mid 1990's He put out a comment effectively saying "I forgot not everyone has a T1 line. I'm going to order Dial-Up for real-world testing"
- maartet 4y agoAh, I remember playing Quake death match at night in the late '90s on a university connection, against scores of opponents on dialup. It usually ended with somebody shouting "Everyone, go after that LPB" (Low-ping b**d). Then finally there was some real challenge :)
