My appoligies.....

[FASTBACK340]

....for being a totally inconsiderate knob and posting pictures as HUGE as the ones I did. I honestly didn't realize the hassle I caused Mikel. The pics are off and I'm going to re-size them.


Yep.... my bad. I'm a tool......

Sorry everyone.

 

[AdamR]

What did I miss ? :mrgreen:

Were they life size pictures John ?

 

[HawaiiDuster]

Did I miss something too :scratch:

If they were life size pics of John I might be glad I missed them....especially if it were nudes :geek:

 

[FASTBACK340]

....especially if it were nudes :geek:

I was killing bandwidth as it was....... :tongue:

I had indeed posted life-sized pix @ 1254 X oh-my-Gawd Mega pixies or what ever you call it..... REAL stupid move.

Sorry!

John... I think you misunderstood me...

You've got a limited amount of bandwidth per month from the linkedimages.com site... Your pictures were big, you were killing your own bandwidth, not the bandwidth here! I don't think that bothers anybody but you, since you'd be cut off after you reached your limit on linkedimages.com!

Assuming that's John in the pic he posted, I don't think I want to see nudes! :shock:

BAD BAD BOY :violent1:

Yep that's John and his daughter Amy! :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

Dirty old man!

 

[Coyote Jack]

Yep, I did the same thing as John. I wonder if it has to do with using an image from www.linkedimages.com in my sig.

Looks like you might have to upgrade! ;-)

 

[Coyote Jack]

Sure looks that way Mikel. LOL

[Mopardude]

Mikel, maybe you need to put a little bandwidth tutorial on that site. Lot of people don't under stand bandwidth or confuse it with download speed.

 

[FASTBACK340]

Yep that's John and his daughter Amy! :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

O U C H ! Amy? My daughter! :wink:

I'd have to move to Arkansas considering what we do if that were true....

Good idea...

Just lure them in...... :wink:

Yea, I'll get around to upgrading here too.

Uh...yeah. I haven't a friggen clue what bandwidth is. I've owned one of these damn magic boxes for about 6 years now and STILL don't know what make's it go...... :scratch:

It was only about a year ago I stopped putting quarters in my floppy drive slot.... :geek:

BTW: Is this signature pic OK? I resized it to 640 X 480

A very simple analogy to use to understand bandwidth and traffic is to think of highways and cars. Bandwidth is the number of lanes on the highway and traffic is the number of cars on the highway. If you are the only car on a highway, you can travel very quickly. If you are stuck in the middle of rush hour, you may travel very slowly since all of the lanes are being used up.

Traffic is simply the number of bits that are transferred on network connections. It is easiest to understand traffic using examples. One Gigabyte is 2 to the 30th power (1,073,741,824) bytes. One gigabyte is equal to 1,024 megabytes. To put this in perspective, it takes one byte to store one character. Imagine 100 file cabinets in a building, each of these cabinets holds 1000 folders. Each folder has 100 papers. Each paper contains 100 characters - A GB is all the characters in the building. An MP3 song is about 4MB, the same song in wav format is about 40MB, a full length movie can be 800MB to 1000MB (1000MB = 1GB).

If you were to transfer this MP3 song from a web site to your computer, you would create 4MB of traffic between the web site you are downloading from and your computer. Depending upon the network connection between the web site and the internet, the transfer may occur very quickly, or it could take time if other people are also downloading files at the same time. If, for example, the web site you download from has a 10MB connection to the internet, and you are the only person accessing that web site to download your MP3, your 4MB file will be the only traffic on that web site. However, if three people are all downloading that same MP at the same time, 12MB (3 x 4MB) of traffic has been created. Because in this example, the host only has 10MB of bandwidth, someone will have to wait. The network equipment at the hosting company will cycle through each person downloading the file and transfer a small portion at a time so each person's file transfer can take place, but the transfer for everyone downloading the file will be slower. If 100 people all came to the site and downloaded the MP3 at the same time, the transfers would be extremely slow. If the host wanted to decrease the time it took to download files simultaneously, it could increase the bandwidth of their internet connection (at a cost due to upgrading equipment).

In the example above, we discussed traffic in terms of downloading an MP3 file. However, each time you visit a web site, you are creating traffic, because in order to view that web page on your computer, the web page is first downloaded to your computer (between the web site and you) which is then displayed using your browser software (Internet Explorer, Netscape, etc.) . The page itself is simply a file that creates traffic just like the MP3 file in the example above (however, a web page is usually much smaller than a music file).

A web page may be very small or large depending upon the amount of text and the number and quality of images integrated within the web page. For example, the home page for CNN.com is about 200KB (200 Kilobytes = 200,000 bytes = 1,600,000 bits). This is typically large for a web page. In comparison, Yahoo's home page is about 70KB.



Does that help any?

 

[MB43]

BTW, I've reset everbody's bandwidth so you guys can get a handle on your image sizes...

Thanks Mikel.

Will take care of it first thing in the morning.
