1-3% would be incredible non-material when it comes to transmissions... hell anything below 10% or even 15% is fine in most networks. (Note, I did say MOST, obviously there are networks where QoS MUST be "Five 9's").
I imagine it would be abused at first, as with all new systems, there will be bugs and exploits to work through.
I could see the system evolving into something that incorporates security cameras to backup circumstantial eveidence provided by club employees (the hypothetical po'd Barkeep/GF scenario), that would be corraborated by video captured that evening. I can't see most bar owners/managers giving their employees the power to do something like that.. I imagine it would be the bartender's ass in a sling for falsely accusing someone of inappropriate conduct, as that person would influence friends to not visit that particular tavern in fears of being blacklisted.
Just a thought... sorta..
Think about....
A Bar that knows who you are, and what you drink... I think Cliff Clavin would shed a tear knowing that he could have his card wwiped, and his drinks are prepped right away for him....
It's like pre-cognitive drive-thru
Just to beat the dead horse, or in this case hobbit... ent draughts didn't show up until Pippin and Merry had been found by Fangorn, in the Two Towers...
"Is anyone actually going to use FreeDOS?"
No, and I think that's the whole point. I think that Dell is just trying to MS a big thumb to the nose, without overantagonizing them (thus no Linux), and by offering a copy of FreeDOS, it circumvents the No-OS restriction. I wouldn't be surprised to see Lindows in the future.
