...that you can show it and cut all that descriptive dialogue and verse. What [director] Michael Radford did with the script was cut about a third without sacrificing the story line. As a result, the story plays much more dramatically. In the film, your character, Antonio, has to spit on Al Pacino's character, Shylock. What was that like?

Now, thanks partly to improved and cheaper chips, they run internally about 30 times faster than in their early days. They also spit bits onto copper five times faster than in the past. That rate will soon double in Europe. Like a pickup truck hauling a few apples, a copper wire actually has lots of empty space. The DSLAM throws in bushels of data and video.
