   	Just curious as to whether or not there are any users around here    
   familiar with these projects.  The first is for secure data provided in    
   encrypted chunks, served out by machines hosting material that they cannot    
   access the content of.  The second is for ad-hoc wireless networking; so    
   long as one of the connected nodes has internet capabilities, the rest are    
   provided with the same.  I believe it's dependent on a 801.11g protocol or    
   something like that that is still in development.  Regardless, they're    
   very interesting project that I would very much like to find out more    
   about.  They'd be extremely useful should the authoritarian 'internet kill    
   switch' be activated, or should an even higher of internet providers have    
   their data subpoenaed, in the interests of keeping access to forbidden    
   content online and keeping people connected to the network, whether or not    
   high bandwidth activities are possible.   
   	Yeah, forbidden data has its drawbacks.  As on the hidden service    
   network of tor, for every Egyptian fighting for a non oppressive    
   government to find shelter and solace in, you may well have some    
   cheetos-eating kiddie porn provider serving content through such projects    
   as darknet, as well.  It is, however, a service that must continue, for    
   there to be truly private communication available for any citizen being    
   crushed under an oppressive regime.
