    1. Slap an extra network card on each server.
    2. Connect them together.
    3. Profit. ;)

    This will be cheaper then programming anything custom. And faster then what is available. It will be secure, as long as no one puts a hub between them.

    Or do it the Geeky way.

    1. Get a new nokia with the S60 platform. Make sure the phone has a GPS unit.
    2. Install Python on it.
    3. Write a simple Python app that will upload the current location to an ftp site with the current time-stamp. To save some mili watts, do this every 10 minutes. Make sure the app is started with the phone. I think you can also control the app via sms messages or if you want to you can also install a Apache and PHP on the thing and control it through a webinterface.
    4. Write a simple php script that will read the timestamped files with the GPS coordinates, and plot on a Gmap mashup. Be sure to lock this on a secure page on your site or something. I am sure you dont want to make this info public.
    5. Be sure to top up the phone battery every couple of days.

    Note: If you can just create some sort of enclosure for the phone, and do not let your kid use it. Just make sure it is on them all the time.

  18. Re:Like to see this replicated on German Doctor Cures an HIV Patient With a Bone Marrow Transplant · · Score: 0

    The only problem is that compared to HIV patients, the donors are rare. You must consider that not everyone who is immune would be willing to give away bone marrow, so this even makes them more rare.
