HSMM. I'll be darned. I knew it was out there somewhere.
I might be gone awhile.
Hmmm... I got my license because I was interested in long-range communications, but also for Radio Astronomy.
I guess in my mind, that puts us between CB'ers and SETI.
That's channel 14 if I remember right.
Both groups that haven't found intelligent life yet, but may yet in the future :lol:Quote:

Such a network might be readily shut down, but sheer numbers might overwhelm any effective suppressive attempts, such that by hook or crook, the email got through. Again, I don't know enough about how cellphones work to guess how easy they'd be to repurpose, or how much autonomous, self-powered intelligence could be cheaply jammed into, say, a ping pong ball sized container. Short of cloned biologic radios with chlorophyl-based energy transverterting skins, might not be so easy to match the economical elegance of apple seeds. Still, people are clever. I might not bet on a lot of human endevors, this kind of stuff is what some of us routinely do.
They aren't a "network", per se, but USB dead drops are kind of like planting "seeds" - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_dead_drop
Just gimme a port for my brain. I want to plug in!

In time we'll develop one that works with your positronic neural network... Data.
