Did you read any further? He clearly states he is parroting Apple's marketing.
They end up coming to the conclusion a G5 is not a good server CPU, but fail to do a balanced test to see if the issue is OS X or the CPU. They should clearly have tested:
Linux x86 vs. Linux PPC OpenDarwin x86 vs. Mac OS X
Run a cron job at 15 before the hour - have the job be a client to the mpd and:
1. determine the time remaining on the current song vs. clock time and the playtime of the upcoming songs. It should be simple math to decide which song to play the station ID after. 2. monitor the mpd some more. 3. stop it when you reach that point. 4. save the playlist and the current position within it. 5. load the playlist with the station ID. 6. play it. 7. load the original playlist. 8. start playing at the corred position. 9. ? 10.

I'm currently working on converting the Athlon XP2100+ to handle: mythfrontend in HT, mythbackend (lvm disks), colo server backup, dnscache, mpd.
Work P4 will be used for games on off-hours.
Mac mini will handle scanning and printing.
It will be nice to turn off those two older boxes and the Dell Latitude- power bill is too high.
The Dell Latitude will come alive again at some point when I figure out how to mount its screen recessed into a counter for kitchen web browsing, recipe lookup, and control of mpd that feeds HT amp with multi-room source output to multiple amps and speakers around the home.
I am on a simplifying mission this weekend, but I have to disagree with the local caching dns server.
Comcast has fucked up too many times to trust their dns anymore. I've been running djbdns dnscache for years and recently moved - I decided to trust my isp's dns again. Two days later, their huge failure. Keep the dns cache.
I used to provide an HTTP mirror of your work to ease your bandwidth pain upon releases. The rsync updates have long since stopped working - are you still interested in mirrors?
I'm not sure what's up, but it's really falling down - granted, I have some problems with unstable packages in fink, but I wouldn't have expected pkgsrc committed packages to fail to build.
Both ruby18-curses-1.8.2nb1 and libaudiofile failed to compile for me.
Is it just me, or is it generally better than this? Two failures out of three packages I wanted to build is bad!
I'll take a look at it once I get Tiger installed - mine's an up-to-date order, so it may not be here immediately - I may also have to wait a bit if I can't immediately find out how to do a fresh install from that disc rather than upgrade.
I've been participating in testing a newer version of the driver after submitting some patches that help with bringing the tap interface down once it's closed. gvpe handles data link level traffic (ethernet) rather than network level traffic (ip), so it uses the tap driver instead of the tun driver.
Yeah, I guess I wasn't considering you were only interested in that summary - of course, the cat is easier in that circumstance.
I always find it interesting how different people use the text utilities on files in the shell. It often shows different thoughts and approaches to "set programming."
But the PS2 also clearly took the market out from under the Dreamcast.
The PS built a reputation on having good games to play on the platform. I think this was a large part of why people waited for the PS2 - banking on good games for the platform.

Firefox support keychain integration? Hmmph. I've not been able to find this support - it stores all my passwords and certificates in its own storage, completely separate from the Apple Keychain, and also completely separate from the Thunderbird certificate store (which is a royal PITA if you use dual-use certificates for both identifying yourself to SSL-capable web solutions as well as for signed/encrypted email).
Any clues on how to get Firefox to use the Apple Keychain?
I saw DNS failures clicking on an apple.slashdot.org link yesterday evening. It too me all of 2 minutes to switch my local dhcp-provided dns information over to an already-running djbdns dnscache sitting on my fileserver. I just recently switched away from using dnscache, hoping to simplify the home network, of course, as soon as I do it, my ISP hoses their DNS.

I'd be interested in hearing the outcome of this.
Post a journal entry when you come to a decision about whether it's worth it?

You could use mpd and preset playlists.
Run a cron job at 15 before the hour - have the job be a client to the mpd and:
1. determine the time remaining on the current song vs. clock time and the playtime of the upcoming songs. It should be simple math to decide which song to play the station ID after.
2. monitor the mpd some more.
3. stop it when you reach that point.
4. save the playlist and the current position within it.
5. load the playlist with the station ID.
6. play it.
7. load the original playlist.
8. start playing at the corred position.

Medium format takes only 120MB? I've been scanning 35mm wedding photos at 4000dpi/48bit color and that comes to about 120MB each.
If digital inputs are at a premium, consider a Griffin iMic - works perfectly with the ALSA USB Audio driver.
In my testing, it's the cleanest sound I've heard from a computer with the exception of optical toslink.

I'm not sure that's specifically at the heart of the problem here, but I would suspect most people do it out of laze:
"How do I opt out of getting this stupid thing? Fuggit, if I mark it spam, the rest won't show up."
I love Ruby.

Unfortunately, it appears to be falling down under
Without advertising it too heavily, gvpe supports many different mechanisms for tunneling, including dns tunneling.
I'll take a look at it once I get Tiger installed - mine's an up-to-date order, so it may not be here immediately - I may also have to wait a bit if I can't immediately find out how to do a fresh install from that disc rather than upgrade.

I use gvpe with this tun/tap driver and it works quite well:

Could you just grab the source and build it under Tiger?
Clearly a SEP field in place here.

Interesting - thanks for the reference.
I can't find a ton of easily accessible information on the sf site. Does it only run on x86?
I use a WRT54GS for a firewall/router (lower power consumption). From the looks of things this does not run on that hardware?
Thanks.
Good suggestions - I'd add:

Furthermore, the results of a single competition is hardly any reason to pass judgement on CS students nationwide.
:(
I'll grant you that, for sure.
When I was in CS, it seemed like the brightest and most talented thinker/programmer students did these competitions, at least in my program.
This was a few years back when Ultrix was the required OS for everything in CS. Nowadays I hear they just use Windows.
