Chances are a SMP OS would be able to reap most of the available gain.
Doing what? I'd hope any OS (SMP or otherwise) doesn't significantly use the CPU itself. For an SMP OS to have something to gain by multicore, it has to come from a parallelizable workload, hence threads. (Unless you have enough runnable processes, but that often isn't so.)
Unless you meant more responsiveness / lower interrupt latency or something like that in an OS, which is fair enough, but not exactly using multicore to its fullest.
The issues with latency and jitter, though, probably aren't as dependent on frequency.
Although I am no RF expert, it seems to me radio will never have significant latency or jitter, and the latency and jitter are just artifacts caused by the L2 protocol trying to compensate for poor radio performance (retransmissions at L2, bah). So if the RF worked well (indeed at lower frequencies for non-LOS) you wouldn't see these either, I think.
Also, if the slowdown is a constant factor, as slow execution of interpreted languages or RTS-heavy languages are on average, then that has zero impact on scalability.
and couldn't care less whether my shoes and belt match
Thanks for saying couldn't instead of could care less for a change. I started to think 'they' had won. Why people think 'could care less' makes any sense i'll never know.
The blog will close (or be neglected) in a month or so after the flood of complaints become too much for them. They might blame the abundance of unreasonable or irrational people on the internet for having a blog up not being practical. (Actually I think it is true a blog is a terrible medium for handling complaints - use a ticketing system instead.)
I hope not though, this looks really great on the surface. What's the catch?
That won't quite do. Because that allows you to prove to someone else how you voted, and so get coerced, and are able to sell your vote, neither of which are acceptable properties of a voting system.
Never underestimate the bandwidth of a lorryload of backup tapes traveling at 60 miles an hour. Close enough.. This is attributable to Andy Tanenbaum according to
http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A678576 (and one of his books I read).
Another ontopic remark.
Google either approaches bodies that it knows has large data sets
I know people who also approach bodies that they know have large 'data sets', but that doesn't get them a lot of 'bandwidth';)

I'd certainly donate
Plus, what good has it done netscape?
Haha, that's funny. No mod points now unfortunately. (feel free to mod offtopic, I would)

Internode.. first I thought it said Innertrode (Office Space), hihi.
I've seen that talk (in fact I looked it up so I could post it here, but you already have) was absolutely inspirational.
Thanks, that's useful :) I must add that to my active vocabulary. (And learn to pronounce and spell it.)

Sounds useful. I'd like to know this too :)

Sure. Perhaps I should've said 'suitably customized' ticketing system..

Also a realistic rendering of a Jon Stewart imitation (Mehehehe) of Dubya, if that was the intent.
May I comment that you missed the opportunity to say "Lease = Least of your problems." in the title. ;)
