For maximum publicity/legal theater value, the boxes would live in the newsroom, under an editor's desk, where it would look as bad as possible for someone to break in and seize or destroy it. Probably best to assume that the project gets either apathy or hostility from the news organization's IT department, so the box would have to tunnel out (to throwaway submit/"strip metadata" sites?) -- Don Marti http://zgp.org/~dmarti/ dma...@zgp.org _______________________________________________ p2p-hackers mailing list p2p-hackers@lists.zooko.com http://lists.zooko.com/mailman/listinfo/p2p-hackers
