	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.
