Sorry it didn't work for you. I am by no means any sort of expert on zeroconf, but you've made me very curious. You say you're behind a NAT router. Are the other people in your house on the other side? Sorry if this sounds like a weird or dumb question. How many subnets do you have?
Like I said, I seriously doubt I can help due to my lack of knowledge, but your topology sounds weird. And by weird, I mean different than mine. =)
Hey, I was going to contact you guys about colocating my iPod Shuffle, but I was afraid you might eat it.
Thanks for the info and insights, especially re: suitability. This brings to mind the other "mini project" of creating a "media server" that seems to be motivated because the mini looks like it could be a media appliance. I'm sure people will come up with some cool uses, but in some cases they're going to end up spending more money for less solution.
Possibly your age is showing and you're not keeping your terminology consistent from one sentence to the next. This is confusing and makes it just about impossible to discuss anything. 100 Mbps = Fast Ethernet. The term Ethernet, used generically, can have speeds from 10 Mbps to 10 Gbps. The Mac mini uses fast ethernet, i.e., 100 Mbps.
You're correct to bring latency into the discussion, and I'm hoping you could tell us if there are major latency differences between the various ethernet speeds (I suspect there are, no I'm sure there are) and what those differences are. Also, what impact does the ethernet controller (or NIC as the case may be), it's design and it's chipset have on latency.
As I'm sure you're well aware, one of the distinguishing characteristics of the powerful clusters we read so much about is the high speed interconnects. Based on this limited knowledge alone, I'd agree with you that a Mac Mini cluster probably faces an insurmountable obstacle to getting any serious parallel computing done. But you can't make your argument if you get bogged down with incorrect terminology, even contradicting the very link you provide.
I find it ironic that you're offering your opinion on how to fix the spam problem at the same time as you're spamming us with the "free mini" link in your sig.
Just guessing, but I bet that figure is for people who have downloaded any sort of video to their computer, whether it be an unauthorized copy of a feature length motion picture, a clip of kittens singing "Gay Bar", or a movie trailer. I was going to mention pr0n, but as I like to masturbate to kittens dressed in viking garb, I thought it was implicit.
The demand is there, otherwise we wouldn't see such a huge black market dealing in unauthorized copies.
Until downloading movies saves you both time and money, and is easy to use, I don't see the service becoming too popular.
I mostly agree with you, but it needn't save both time and money. Change your statement to "time or money", and I totally agree with you. Consider this: I want to watch some very obscure movie or TV show, and my local Blockbuster doesn't have it. Now, I can buy it on Amazon for retail + shipping + wait time, or I can purchase a single viewing download for $2.99, with the option of burning to DVD for another $10.
Whoever can execute this scheme the most successfully will make a good deal of money, and will be hailed as the movie equivalent of iTMS. Unless it's Apple, in which case we'll criticize the proprietary nature of their product/service combo, the DRM, and the pricing. =)
"Original music download heavyweight Napster is considering throwing in the towel and conceding victory to Apple's iTunes Music Store. Napster CEO Chris Gorog said the company is currently examining ways to bail out of this mess, and was looking at distributing movies online, selling pet supplies, or creating a search engine to help the company out of its present plight."
I am not saying this will never be a valid medium for movie distribution, but right now I just don't see the market being that large.
It's a chicken and egg thing. There are portable media players that will play the movies, but they won't be popular until there are plenty of easy and cheap ways to get the content legally.
portable music devices are a huge market, and CD burners are nearly ubiquitous in computers these days, plus you talking about the difference between a couple minutes and a few hours worth of downloading
1) the mp3 player market didn't spring up over night out of nothing.
2) DVD burners are becoming a lot more common, and will probably displace CD burners. Besides, other than capacity, are they all that different? Both utilize Shiny Disc technology.
3) It can take many many hours to DL an unauthorized copy of a movie on the file sharing networks, but people do it (often to find that what they downloaded is not what they wanted). Some people will happily pay a few bucks to guarantee that their getting the movie they want, that they can find it easily, and that it will download in a reasonable amount of time.
Anyway, these things just don't happen by themselves. A company has to actually try and deliver a product or service, or there is no market.
They haven't even departed, let alone arrived. They haven't even booked a flight, so to speak. From the article: "We are currently considering moving into video".
Business as usual at slashdot. Inflating the news for a good headline. Napster has no partners or agreements in place, at least none that they're willing to go on the record about.

You give your computer a "reach around"? Now that is what I call thoughtful and considerate. What a swell guy! Your mother sure taught you good manners.
Please check if you have enabled a firewall. If so, please allow SubEthaEdit to use ports 6942 to 6951. In case you are using Mac OS X's Click 'New' to the right of the list of predefined ports, choose 'Other' from the pop-up menu and enter "6942-6951" for the port number and "SubEthaEdit" for the description.
I'm behind a router. How can I work with others over the internet, that also sit behind a router?
One user has to enable port forwarding on his router. Port 6942 to 6951 should be forwared from the router to the computer. After that the other user should be able to establish a connection to him, which will be used to share documents in both directions. If you need to find out your dynamic IP, for example browse to http://whatismyip.com
Not only are you quibbling over semantics, you are also in error. Go look up the definition of "concentration", then apply it to the idea of rounding people of a certain type up into a camp. Then you'll understand why it's called a concentration camp. See? It's not because a concentration camp is somewhere you go to think really deep thoughts.
If you wish to minimize the situation by calling it an internment camp, go right ahead. I know people go to all sorts of lengths to feel better about America, including watching Fox News. If it makes you feel better to say "We weren't as bad as the Nazis", instead of recognizing a terrible mistake or trying to sugar coat the mistake, go right ahead. It's not my job to stop you from being an idiot.
It was an executive order that sent West coast Japanese Americans into concentration camps during WWII. An executive order effectively has the power of law.

You don't have a link, by any chance?

Considering how much I hate brussel sprouts, I doubt there are many people out there interested in downloading movies instead of renting or buying.

Apple's new Macintosh.
Smaller than a PDP-11. No wireless. Lame.
Then how do you explain the fact that I was already a zealot, just as you described?
By the way, is "underwear draw" another way of saying "rectum"? Or did you mean underwear drawer?

Congratulations, slashbot. You failed to read the post you to which you are responding.
I fail to see exactly how calling them something other than "concentration camps" is minimizing the situation
Euphemism. If you need to mince words to to prop up your insecurities, fine. Just don't ask me to sacrifice meanings so you won't feel uncomfortable.
And if your argument is "We weren't as bad as the Nazis", then don't expect me to take you seriously.
A real tin foil connoisseur will use a burr grinder, not one of the cheap bladed ones.
