That is confidential information from Star Fleet Command...obviously hacked from the main data base.

Well, I guess it all depends on how hard you swing it at 'em.

Rather curious that there is a distance dependence in the calculation other than say that it will take 96 million years and 1 second to teleport 186,000 miles rather than the stated one foot.

I wonder did they work out the number for "through a cable modem" or even transmitted via V.90.
