Looking at the "Curse of Dimensionality" with R, foreach, and lattice
Here are the results of a "Curse of Dimensionality" homework assignment for Terran Lane's Introduction to Machine Learning class. Pretty pictures, interesting results, and a good exercise in explicit parallelism with R.
It's neat to see distance scaling linearly with standard deviation, and linearly with the Lth-root...

The problem:
From the blog post:"
OpenSSH is now available on all platforms. A sensible solution...
