IMHO, these are the real iPod killers out there. Very similar in size and shape, sleek design, cheaper (at third-party retail sites) for the same capacity model, and with twice the battery life, better PC support (windows and linux), FM tuner, recording equipment, and OGG support for those who care. No dock, though.;-)
This solution seems analogous to the use of ingress/egress filtering to prevent spoofed source addresses on IP packets, and also completely dependent upon such filtering to work correctly.
In the Internet today, since such filters are seldom used, anyone can say that they are from any IP address. By publishing a set of IP addresses that can be used to send Spam from within a domain, this "solution" simply hands spammers the tools they need to make their spam appear more authentic.
If you really wanna have some fun, write your own applications using multicasting, on your own protocols. See what you can do with mpeg streaming to the machines on your cluster.
If thats too much work, which it probably is, play with Spread. It will do the low-level networking and reliability for you, and let you concentrate on what you want it to do.
"It takes a certain amount of shamelessness to be a monomaniac billionaire dwarf."... On the other hand, it takes a certain amount of shamelessness, arrogance, and lack of insight to write an article with less insight than a microsoft ad in an attempt to satisfy one's own self-importance.
Bill Gates may be an arrogant, visionless, competetive bastard, but he has accomplished what he wants if his goal in life is to become incredibly wealthy and get attention from a great deal of people. This article has a tone of jealousy... does Katz secretly envy Bill for getting the attention he would like?
Perhaps a vapid account of Bill Gates' shortcomings is almost as bad as a vapid account of his successes?

Wackamole (www.wackamole.org) can be used to do this for routers running Linux, Solaris, or FreeBSD. Its open sourced, and freely available.

Illiad hinted on the Userfriendly page that the company he was dealing with was M$ itself, speaking of the evil empire......
