I like the idea but most of the servers we manage have out going firewalls to block them from talking to the internet. We produce installed package lists during deployment (as much as possible we run immutable pre-built images and replace t

Actually we don't have the full DNA sequence for any human. For example, if you look at the data from say the Genome Reference Consortium the first 10,000 bases on Chromosome are designated as N - unknown.

It's a long time since I worked on mobile phones but in GSM the phone has to keep an internal of the tower it's connected to and the nearest neighbours in order to manage handover smoothly (ie. With dropping calls). I suspect 3G is similar.
