Cambridge's Streetlamp-Powered Wireless Network

Serpentegena writes "A joint research project by scientists at Harvard University and BBn Technologies may have spawned a new breed of Metronet. The wireless network, code-named CitySense, which will consist of 100 streetlamp-mounted nodes by 2011, will draw power off the Cambridge, Mass. public grid and be used at first for weather and pollution monitoring. The intention is to also allow 'academic researchers worldwide [...] to submit their own research programs to run on the network.' Sounds remarkably similar to the beginning of the ARPANET, except the network hosts will be running Linux."

    I've studied much in the subject of psychology. What was the title favored to that documentary? I suppose you are trying to compare me with that schizophrenic man, but you are yet to show cause or exhibit an injured party or tort. Do I remind you of all the FBI warnings on your VHS casettes? How does this serve to reserve your the patent on your portrait and voice, that none try to "capture" or duplicate them for malicious purposes when you are out and about a walk near the street?

    reciprocal to WhatAmIDoingHere: I really hope this is some character you're playing. Your writings sound a lot like the Time Cube guy. Random insanity and gibberish.

    Someone was discussing the alternative use of electrical equipment to a chartered person and cause, and that electrical equipment is not limited to collecting a certain data of a subject; it is extendable beyond collecting temperature and polution data. Either the property granted for the execution of that task is being unwisely spent, or they are looking to expand beyond their charter.

    Your homepage is insane,gibberish... and redundant.

    What queer mentality you
    have --- to worship an old
    dead Jew as God/Creator.
    NO God creates himself.
    No God can even exist in
    our Universe of Opposites.
    Opposites
    transcend Entity.
    Entity equals cancellation
    --- the death of Opposites.


    Evil Educated "Singularity"
    Stupid - ignores the Cubic
    Wisdom of Wisest Human
    and The Greatest Thinker.


    No human or god can match
    Nature's simultaneous 4 day
    rotation in 1 Earth rotation.

    No human has a right to
    believe wrong - for that
    would be evil thinking.

    Ignorance of 4 days is evil,
    Evil educators teach 1 day.
    1 day will destroy humans.

    OPPOSITES CREATE.

    Mother and father gave me birth, not a queer jew god.

    Singularity god is EVIL as
    Creation reigns as Opposites.
    Educators, and You - ought
    to be killed for ignoring the
    fact that "Earth is Cubed".
