Rather than come up with hugely expensive and complex systems to route traffic, wouldn't it be smarter to use extant technology...
On Monday I had to drive into Boston. The Boston area has a service called "smart traveller," which you can access using your cell phone.
I was on Route 2 when I got passed by two state troopers doing 90 and I saw a lot of congestion up ahead. I took the nearest exit and called *1 (for smart traveller) and then 2* (for route 2). I found out that 2 East (into Boston) was being completely shut down because of a car crash, it also told me exactly where the blockage stopped. I took back roads until the next entrance after the crash and had a smooth ride into Boston.
That seems like a pretty good use of existing technology for avoiding traffic.
I am new here, you insensitive clod. (Look at the extremely high user ID)
Also, most hackers like this should be freed. He was trying to do the right thing, even if it meant exposing a weakness and inviting the black hats. Crackers on the other hand, who exploit weaknesses for their own gain should still be prosecuted and punished.

This new multi-core technology will make Beowulf clusters obsolete. Thus elminating cliche using karma whores.. oh wait, this is Slashdot.
Good call.
