F5 makes a nice box for that, so do others, if your really a cheapskate and wanted to you could duplicate them. If you need to have anything know about who is on what machine let the system tell that to the backend DB machine. It should be a channel architecture, not a crazy tangle. The more you break the functions down on the system level the better and faster your cluster will be.

Actually many people from the Midwest are known to eat Sushi, Last time I was in Portland OR there were several Sushi places.
Southwest = California Northwest = Washington Midwest = Oregon
I am not counting any of the other filler states between there and NYC, which doesn't have very good Sushi at all. [And don't eat the hot dogs there either.]
A simple lightbulb on a retractable shaft would likely solve a lot of issues with this. In places with undependable power like Iraq and as we've seen in New Orleans having a light source is important. Mounted on a swivel as a flashlight or room light. Durable like an LCD.
Remember that their needs are not our needs. I remember one boondoogle from the early '60s (I think) were they shipped are great expense fresh milk in a jet to starving people who promply dumped the milk and used the containers for water. It was like trying to get a rural Mid-westerner to eat Sushi.
If you pay no attention to the real needs of those you help, your not helping them.
Maybe we should take a lesson from the Rocky Horror Picture Show and turn the problem around. It's not like the dress code would be that far off, most of the characters in the games dress like Frankie Fans. There are mods you can run around buck naked in the game just like you are often playing it. [shudder]
Remember Gamers go to SciFi conventions, look at how they dress. Do I really need to go on??
Now I can dust off my plan to use Paperclips as intercontinental people launchers and my Fart powered hovercraft.
Lets all party like it's 1996!
Actually I do think somebody found a bunch of Cocaine on sale. Don't get me wrong, I think Bittorrent is a wonderful idea and a fine technology. However I am currently wearing a t-shirt from a DotCom that had an idea that they would put ads in their client and make big money. They were stable with a stock price of $26 and a bunch of buzz and lots of Clients, paying clients. Then somebody had a not so bright idea.
I didn't think I needed to point that even on slashdot. Sadly I was wrong. Unlike Slashdotters the RIAA has a limit to how long they will keep something going. They don't want the money, they want to use the lawsuits as a big stick to keep people from sharing. They hit something that was wet and gooey, now they have to scrap it off or nobody will be scared. That means move on to next victim before anybody notices.
that the mother can't be sued, the Guardian Ad Litem implies that neither can the Girl as the child's GAL is her mother, and it would be a loop.
RIAA sues girl, GAL is mother, mother has immunity due to Dismissed with prejudice. Lawsuit against the girl is a defacto lawsuit against the mother. The Judge chopped that one off with an axe. There was much gnashing of teeth at RIAA HQ.
Worse yet, since the kid is under 18 they can't wait it out. Actions under the age of 18 are except in certain extreme circumstances, deleted at age 18.
My collection has yet to include Dogs who love Midget's Shoes or Hot Ant on Ant action. If the FBI can find such sites then they are my heroes.
Sorry, but this is a political scenario called; "Run Screaming back to your base"
Call me partisan (and I am certainly am), but this is pure hokum. Bushcorp is in big trouble in the polls and need to get the approval points back up. Look for big crackdowns on NAMBLA (North American Marlon Brando Look-Alike) and Gay Porn sites. Mary Carey - The Porn Star Who Would Be Governor of California, Will be linked to making porn and keep her out of the race for the next California Governor. Leaving only the likes of Gary Coleman and Democrats to face down Schwarzenegger in 2006.
"But do you realize that Anime only seems good because the rest of TV is so very, very bad? I suggest some hard-ish science fiction stories." Why did you AC that post? It's a fair post?
I was thinking some of the old "Pulp" shorts were on the same level. Some were dreck but a lot of clever ideas that should get a wider audience. Anime is a good place, some made it to comix. I think the quality writing is still alive, it's just hiding from the main stream. ( I would too.)
SESSION #18 - SPEAK LIKE A CHILD
on
The Digital Dark Age
·
· Score: 4, Interesting
Subject of a Cowboy Bebop episode. This is why I watch anime. They actually take some time to examine an idea like where to find a Betamax player 150 years from now. http://rfblues.aaanime.net/Sessions/session18.htm
Captain: What happen ?
Mechanic: Somebody set up us the bomb (Vista).
(spoken in the Flash animation as Someone set up us the bomb.)
Operator: We get signal.
Captain: What !
Operator: Main screen turn on.
Captain: It's you !!
JOBS: How are you gentlemen !!
JOBS: All your base are belong to us.
JOBS: You are on the way to destruction.
Captain: What you say !!
JOBS: You have no chance to survive make your time.
JOBS: Ha Ha Ha Ha....
(spoken in the Flash animation as Ha Ha Ha.)
Operator: Captain !! *
Captain: Take off every 'Zig'!!
Captain: You know what you doing.
Captain: Move 'Zig'.
Captain: For great justice.
I don't think he mentioned 30 min pizza delivery but that would be wise of him not to. [wink wink]
However he's pretty much right, the US leads in content sales. Anime is big only in Japan and amongst angst ridden teens who don't like being goths. Bollywood movies are big in India, but only their highest income flicks barely match up to a mediocre Hollywood dud like Bewitched or Willy Wonka. Name five big draw band/singers from outside the US.
The USA is where the money is for content. Sony has a lock on it, and the rest is gravy. Monitors, computers, console game systems are nice, but too many players in the game. Too easy to build it in Taiwan and rock the market here. Once somebody makes a cross platform console then most of the makers will die a fiery death.
I doubt it, Their content side is pretty profitable, the Music and Video is doing fine and so are the Games groups.
Much of the core jobs they will be killing off will be in the dead end lines like PS2 and PS3. Sony is getting away from console games and right into implant based ones.
A small surgical procedure and you get both full sensory control of your game space and feeding tube with an optional caffine drip right into your blood stream.
The cases they send CDs in are sometimes clever being made of wood or metal and sometimes even having magnets in them to keep them closed. I naturally discard the paper ones unopened but the metal ones are great for sending DVDs you make to friends and family. Just make sure it's clearly marked as NOT FROM AOL. I also carry live linux dvds in case I need a quick boot. You can't be sure that a system will support booting from a USB fob, but DVD is universal and cheap.
As a company I still have no use for AOL, but they can send me their clever little boxes all day long.
What that amounts to is doing it at behest of the library in question. A legal out for Google, then the angry copyright holders have to go back to the library and bitch at them. They don't have nearly the deep pockets that Google has now.
They have fallen into the that old joke of Lily Tomlin, Included for perspective and for those of you who thought (rightly) that SNL was not worth watching. (once they were worth watching)
The Phone Company
Ernestine.....Lily Tomlin
Ernestine: We handle eighty-four billion calls a year. Serving everyone from presidents and kings to the scum of the earth. We realize that every so often you can't get an operator, for no apparent reason your phone goes out of order, or perhaps you get charged for a call you didn't make.
We don't care.
Watch this.. [ she hits buttons maniacally ]..just lost Peoria.
You see, this phone system consists of a multibillion-dollar matrix of space age technology that is so sophisticated, even we can't handle it. But that's your problem, isn't it? Next time you complain about your phone service, why don't you try using two Dixie cups with a string?
We don't care. We don't have to. We're the Phone Company.

At the end of it all they want to make it all work, it's just they are fumbling in the dark. Get too big and your quality goes to hell.

http://fuckedcompany.com/comments/html/9373696332
If Bittorrent was the owner of the tech maybe just maybe it could work, but there are better clients and they don't do ads.
