You want a *real* headache, contemplate the fun we'll have if the bad guys ever release something that takes advantage of the emergent-systems properties of self-assembling networks (basically, imagine a Storm worm, except it's able to re-find other copies of itself dynamically if the C&C gets nuked. http://www.trnmag.com/Stories/2003/032603/Network_builds_itself_from_scratch_032603.html http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/style/longterm/books/chap1/emergence.htm Now imagine trying to get something like *that* out of your Internet. ;)
