Tracking stolen goods!!
Just suffered from a "home invasion" where pre-dawn raiders jemmied open the front door, raced in, grabbed our wallets, cell phones and car keys and raced away in the car.
Bad, but it put me to thinking (at times like this one's thoughts drift to dist computing, hmmmm that seems to be all the time).
If you have the dnet "client" installed on your machines and they dump through one of our pproxys you can actually back-track the machine if it's ever stolen. (Moment the machine or the intact drive appears on the net you get an ip)
Now if you have a situation at work where there's a chance of a machine walking, why not tell the boss to install this little dnet "security" program that tracks down the stolen machine when it pops up on the Internet.
Maybe an idea worth developing.
