I just got back from lunch at the Wok Inn (Morrill's Corner, in scenic Portland), where a fortune cookie museum has been added to educate the stand-and-waits like me. In the 13th century the dynasty established by Ghengis Khan was overthrown by a synchronized distributed program. The synchronization mechanism was "on date/time execute plan", and the distribution mechanism was moon cakes. This whole thread is wierd. A tunnel in Baltimore isn't exactly a big secret anymore, and we did cover this (knowing, unknowing, and mechanism considered harmful) in the RAVEN list that lead up to rfc2804. Oh, the "crawling with US troops" line of thought is wicked wrong. For the few who care, point a browser at juancole.com from time to time and read a week or so of content. Cheers, Eric
