So i seem to have some of the same problems as you.
I went ahead and generated two users on my windows client... "server" and "client" i moved the keypair of "server" to my linux box private key into default.pr4 and public to default.pr3.
I then went ahead and appended the "client" public key to default.pr3.
I go ahead and set networkname= in the default.pr0 file on the linux box to match the client box (windows) and set the name= as well on the linux box (to "server")
i then try and connect the client (windows, behind a firewall) to the server (linux, in the clear) and get:
Could not connect to host: failed connect!
my whole log here: [brett@caligula waste]$./wastesrv WASTE server 1.0a0 starting up... initializing RNG done loading config from./default.pr0

Sadly my Apple rep could not secure for me an xserve. And to quote him the tower "should be comprable" I know the memory is slower, i know this, and again i wanted to give apple a shot because i am a fan.
Even with the improved memory I can't see my tests being any more than 20% faster. And since the Xserve cost twice as much as the intel box i put together 20% isn't enough.
We did actually just test an intel desktop, well not really a test, its now in the cluster, but before we put it in we ran the test data on it. It was about 10% slower than the rack mount system we built. of course the g4 desktop we were testing cost almost 2.5x as much...
well i guess there is really no arguing. You won't be satisfied no matter what i say. Please, blow some money. The fact Is im currently writing a PO for half as much as I could have been.
Let me start by saying that I'm an apple fan, I own two recent macintoshes (a g3/400mhz pismo laptop and a g4/550mhz desktop). I like apple, i like osx... I'm crazy in this way... that being said...
I've been itching to get my hands on one of these to test with, but since Apple couldn't get me one I went ahead and had them send over a dual 1ghz g4 tower to test nBLAST with. My feeling being since most of nBLAST does is cpu dependent the distinction is minor.
I went ahead and set up a number of machines, but I'm only going to talk about two.
a 1u dual 2.4ghz intel box with 1.5gigs of ram (custom) a dual 1ghz g4 tower with 1.5gigs of ram
I created a number of standard BLAST queries and ran them against both machines multiple times and compared the results. To summarize the dual 2.4 edged out the mac for queries going to nBLAST (which apple optimized) and trounced the mac for other queries (non-optimized). This is still impressive... i mean the executives look and say "gee this machines is only using two 1ghz processors, and its almost as fast as this one using 2 2.4ghz processors". I mean as far as a breakdown by mzh apple did great almost twice as many requests per mhz. however when the price/performance breakdown was computed apple came out with a price problem, it cost almost twice as much...
apple, when will you learn, you might be able to charge more for those fancy cases on the desktop, especially during a boom, but during a bust, noone cares what their rackmounts look like.
Height isn't probly that much of an issue. The radiation pattern on the base station is roughly spherical (well probly more like a bloated torus).
The titaniums definatly have problems though. Side by side with my Pismo (previous powerbook model) the tiBook consistantly has two less "bars". Both cards are mounted internally.
It is my understanding that the rev. 2 tiBooks have slightly better range than the rev. 1s.. I haven't heard any reports about the new tiBooks.
I haven't heard of anyone doing this but I belive the antenna itself is flat, it seems like you might be able to mod the case to get the antenna on the outside. Though it would probly impact the tiBook's good looks.

I think I speak for many of the frustrated users when I say, this isn't even worth my time. I mean all you have up there is a pretty generic sawmill theme...
I just gotta say to the slashdot team.. please please please check this shit out before you put it on the front page. This deserves to be so far off the radar screen it isn't even funny. It reminds me of the quake mod scene with a billion web pages and no fucking results.
I don't belive you are in any position whatsoever to talk about what I was doing at the time. As a matter of fact I was developing web applications back when netscape was introducing cookies in their browser. The number one reason they did it, statefulness. Passing around a querystring from here to infinity simply isn't an efficent or viable solution. Something had to be done, and I'm glad netscape did it. So, yes, they did do it to satisfy their clients. I was one of them, I wanted a solution, they gave me one. THANK YOU NETSCAPE! I don't think netscape at the time saw the potential for something like doubleclick, but you know what, i praise doubleclick for or whoever was the first to realize that they could get around the domain restrictions on cookies the way they did. What is clever little hack.
Hell some nights I wish someone would get off their asses and actually target ads at me.. personally. At least then the popups *might* have something that interests me in them.
So how bout you go crawl back into your hermit hole and take a big heaping teaspoon of 'shut the fuck up'.
can anyone else smell the shit this guy is full of.
I work for a smallish (70 person) company that, unfortunatly, uses exchage/outlook to handle mail. Our systems staff is very dilligent, geting filters in place in a matter of hours on our exchange server. However one of these little vbs viruses did get through (through an employees personal hotmail account he was reading with Outlook Express.. i know i know don't get me started)
How long did it take. Well lesse, first things first. The vector had a bunch of drives mapped and this particular virus liked to overwrite HTML JPEGs GIFs and a few other filetypes with itself. So us being a webshop... there goes the a few of the webroots.
The exchange server got shut down. For reasons that Im not privey to, however I fully agree with this decision. It could be possible that a variant could slip through during the extermination period.
So basicly what we had were two it people working 36 hours straight, to fix the webroots (which the devs were locked out of.. for good reason). So at their going rate (150$/hr) thats what about 10 grad. Ok so most of that time they wouldnt be doing anything billable.. I think they run at about 2 hours billable a day each so 600$ plus we gave them a couple of days off so... 1200$ more.
total so far $1800.
So now we have a whole bunch of developers sitting on their ass. We have about 15 developers (at 175$/hr approx) now lets say that only 50% of them couldnt work (this is a bit conservative) because their web roots were thrashed and they had to wait a full 8 hour shift twiddling their thumbs thats 10 grand. plus the amount of work they lost that day (it happened at about noon so about 3 hours) thats another 4 grand. So 14K for the devs.
Now we devs dont use a ton of email, it doesnt slow us down that much when we dont have it.. however the project managers are pretty hosed. out of seven producers four were probly directly affected (their projects were on teh affected webroots) they probly lost as much as four hours a peice and the others probly lost two hours in lessened efficency because they dont have email and have to use the phone etc. so at (im not sure of the rate lets say 150$/hr) thats about $7000.
now im not even bringing in the designers (who are effected because their project manager is effected) or the potential lost business because of sales being denied their tools and their email. but just right there we have a total of about - $22,800 that is definatly wasted (not billable when it should be) and probly a whole lot more. and thats just a small shop of 70 people. Imagine what happens when it hits a huge shop like MS or AT&T. It's a freaking nightmare. I've seen shops like that shut down and send everyone home to make sure there are no reinfections.

Books are a medium, Television is a medium, Shows fall into genres, film is a medium, movies fall into genres.
I think your ranting in the wrong direction. If you are trying to prove that anime can have a story that is more than tentacles, gunfire, and panty shots. Then yes that is true. It's true of any storytelling device. The stories it tells can be innane, think hentai, or dramatic and moving, think 'grave of the fireflies'.
However, if you are going to make a distinction between two well defined words, please make sure you know what they mean.

actually i was. It outperformed the intel box just looking mhz/mhz (which is flawed i know)

i have a belkin soho four port, does one monitor usb and keyboard/mouse as well as mic and line out.
its pretty sweet.
there is actually a 20gb drive from toshibia in roughly the same form factor, i belive its about 9mm thicker though.
Actually, all in all, genetic algorithims aren't all that hard to understand. Though they can be tricky to tune.

fucking reactionary privacy zelot.
that wire you hook up inside your laptop .. thats an antenna wire .. if you can get it to the outside of your laptop you're set.
It might be better to look at the pages on how to hack your base station (its much better documented)
You're thinking of the Seven Samurai(akira kurosawa, 1954) and The Magnificent Seven(John Sturges, 1960).
It's no secret that The Magnificent Seven is a derivitave work.
