    Hm. 20 minutes at say 5MB per minute ~100MB. With my connection that's about 8 hours of download time (I couldn't hack the link to get a better estimate.)

    For now, I'll live with knowing that it's "possible"; that the math will remain forever beyond me; and that to date, no one seems to have found a practical application for it.

    And I'll save the video for "Real Soon Now" (if my TelCo ever fulfills its promise), for when I get broadband.
