The fastest development comes from a group of motivated individuals who are almost all the same (ie. background, experience, language preference, o/s preference)
The most robust development comes from the most diverse teams.
Steyn doesn't need to prove Mann was a fraud, he must prove he had a reasonable basis to think Mann was a fraud. Proving Mann was a fraud would be a slam dunk. If he can do neither, his wallet is in a world of hurt.
I think you may have hit the answer, the code running on the DSP's in the line units. 2000x(average # of SM's)x(Average number of Line Units)x(Average # of DSP's per line unit). The DSP's run continuously for the duration of the call.
eg. Call timer code in the 5ESS switch. Countless millions of times a day for over 30 years now. Probably the oldest code that we all depend on every day.

You can cut fat for just so long before you cut muscle and bone. They were on the verge of death in the 1990's, we'll have to see if they can reinvent themselves once again.

Rarely does fast = robust, or vice versa.
Where I live, a suburb of Chicago, Illinois, garage sales are regulated in their frequency and signage.
in our school systems.
It won races, the other cars of the era wont so fast either.
-3B Cash ,and -1B Tax breaks. That brings it down to 3.1B.
That would be wonderful. I have yet to see a decent open source HSM implementation.
I wince every time someone mentions the Palm PC.
Bingo, I think that will be the next wave.

At Fermilab we had ODH areas, Oxygen Deprivation Hazard. This was due primarily to Nitrogen, although in some, it could be Helium or other inert gas.
I don't know what is then.
Will it open my pod bay doors?
glSDR is awesome! Thanks for mentioning it. Now off to build a dspserver. ;->

Who knows? Maybe they will make enough money, one of these days, to actually maintain the local loop, which they have left to rot since divestiture.
Don't think so, the record is -28F here in Chicago, not -40F. Unless you are counting wind-chill.
ie. Launch Assembly Building for the Apollo's?

French fries did not originate on Earth, but were brought here by benevolent Aliens in the past.
I, for one, would welcome the return of out benefactors!

The 5th Element was a sci-fi'd remake of the Dean Martin Matt Helm series movie, "The Silencers".
The quality of IBM has been dropping for some time, and their customers are beginning to notice. This is especially true for e-commerce applications.
