The folks over at CD Baby are musicians and have set up their own online store selling independent artists music both on CD and now digitally through various vendors including iTunes. They've got clear descriptions of what they do and what the artist gets and in our they stick to them.
It's very hard to prove a negative - in this case I would hope that it now falls on the prosecution to provide some rebuttal to this - which (if what the letter says is correct) may be fairly hard..
Reminds me of a colleague back in the UK who was taken to court for not paying his TV license fee - when asked what his defence was he responded "I don't own one".
Apparently the judge was not amused with the prosecution for not having bothered to do even this minimal check!
If this is the case (pardon the pun) with this action then I hope the RIAA get a really embarrasing and well publicised dressing down. Shame on them.
That BBC News article was written way back in 2001. In 2002 NASA stopped receiving recognisable telemetry data and in February 2003 there was no signal at all from the spacecraft (there was only a very weak signal in the January 2003 session).
Rendezvous is Apple's implementation of the IETF's ZeroConf protocol, which can be found at the ZeroConf website.
Unfortunately you're going to find that XGrid will rely on much more than just Rendezvous.
I'm more interested in what they use for IPC, whether it's using MPICH or PVM or something Apple have cooked up, or whether there's no IPC at all and you're limited to just running single machine jobs.

Sadly that hasn't been true for a while.
