Hmm, to start with, are you really disputing Wolfram's scientific contributions to cellular automata, Mathematica or other areas? I hope not. On the other hand, his NKS - for most parts - is indeed only trivial "blah blah", although he certainly provides totally fascinating insights nevertheless here and there. Yes, the running text of the book itself shows a rather megalomanic ego, but the last 250 pages devoted to Notes are really phantastic and a very different story (forget the book itself
) - and if you have Mathematica on your box, enjoy!
So, he might be for some of you an asshole - but then again, I do have my problems with some of Eric Raymond's papers as well...
PS: Surely you are aware that S. W. once upon a time prompted the research to find the shortest possible single axiom for Boolean algebra in terms of NAND...but of course, all Nekochaners know the answer, by now!
About 40% of Americans deny evolution. Sad.

Heck, probably at least 20% of Nekochan posts do the same!
Still, I insist that the Notes for NKS are incredible...absolutely phantastic. Just fire up your Mathematica, try the supplied code or experiment...

TCP/Ethereal puzzle...
I have two boxes, 10.0.0.10 [Irix 6.5.30] and 10.0.0.20 [Irix 6.5.22], on the
same local wire [connected via a switch]; both of them have fired up Ethereal
0.9.2 [from the SGI Freeware November 2002 CDs].
Now, on 10.0.0.20 I issue <telnet 10.0.0.10 discard>, and immediately after the
established connection, I escape and quit. As is well known, this sequence
creates 7 frames. However, looking just at the resulting three-hand handshake,
what I don't understand is the second frame [10.0.0.10 > 10.0.0.20]:
Second frame in Ethereal on 10.0.0.20:
.
.
Transmission Control Protocol [ignore Ports/Seq/Ack]:
.
.
Checksum: 0x09c5 (correct)
Second frame in Ethereal on 10.0.0.10:
.
.
Transmission Control Protocol [ignore Ports/Seq/Ack]:

Checksum: 0x8841 (incorrect, should be 0x09c5)
Any explanation regarding the conflicting checksums?

Any explanation regarding the conflicting checksums?
Hmm, I believe I know the source of my confusion. First, for a recap, I've two machines [currently connected via a hub]:
A: Indigo2, Irix 6.5.22f, IP 10.0.0.20, netmask 255.0.0.0, capture interface ec0, promiscuous mode
B: Fuel, Irix 6.5.30m, IP 10.0.0.10, netmask 255.0.0.0, capture interface ef0, promiscuous mode
On both A and B, Ethereal 0.9.2 is up and capturing.
Now, if I send a 0-length TCP datagram on, say, some source ports of my own choice [e.g., 1057|22187|33205] from A to port 9 on B, I don't get any Ethereal "incorrect checksum" messages on either A or B.
However, if I send 0-length TCP datagrams on the same source ports from B to port 9 on A, I do get Ethereal "incorrect checksum" messages on B for each of the four packets sent from B to A, although A doesn't report any incorrect checksums.
As it was suggested above in other posts, I changed cables - still the same behavior. I also added in a third machine [an XP laptop running Ethereal 0.10.0] - on it, everything looked ok.
After some experimentations and googling around, I finally came across the FAQs on www.ethereal.com - and there, the answer to Q11.1 gave me a hint to the mystery: the network interface on B might do TCP checksum offloading [re-reading previous posts in this thread, I note that br3d had indeed hinted at that possibility - thanks!]
Checking <ifconfig -a> on B [ef0], I found that the flag CKSUM is indeed set; on A [ec0], this flag is not set - implying that B does TCP checksum offloading but A does not, and, so, it explains why B reported "incorrect checksums" but A did not.
BTW, I also did run <snoop> on A and B concurrently to Ethereal. However, for the above scenarios, <snoop> doesn't report any checksum errors on either A or B at all...

May I ask what made you unhappy? Did you not like being a Sys Admin?
Quite to the contrary. But, looking back over 30 years, I figure I got sucked in too much. I certainly enjoyed my job for all these years, without doubt. In fact, I always used to stress that I'd not want to exchange my position with any other in the organisation - not even with the big boss himself although, of course, he earned a bit more money [for the record, of late my monthly salary was a slim €9000.- after tax]. As Sr. SysAdmin, though, I actually considered myself as the most powerful person around - *everyone* sooner or later depended on me [surely all other sysadmins on here can confirm this], and I was *always* available. And so, I most certainly neglected much of my personal live etc. in favour of my job. But that's history now. I'm free finally ... and happy

that came out so blissfully glib, it sounds like an old Austrian saying.
BTW while "you'd" is a contraction of "you would", not "you did", using both meanings in the same sentence without context confuses the distinction which one was intended. if it was just a typo just ignore that helpful hint.
No, it's not an old Austrian saying [we would say something more rude]. Actually, I thought no one [not even little schoolgirls] could have missed my allusion. Read http://www.familymanagement.com/literac ... mms27.html for a refresher.
