BitTorrent is still great however, even if you only want a single file out of a thousand files in a single torrent file, so I could imagine that combined with a free-as-in-beer provider of spidering results, a low-ish latency decentralized search system is possible -see Tor- slow, but it works.

Google App Engine and Django both have the ability to use the WSGI standard to run applications. As a result, it is possible to use nearly the entire Django stack on Google App Engine, including middleware. As a developer, the only necessary adjustment is modifying your Django data models to make use of the Google App Engine Datastore API to interface with the fast, scalable Google App Engine datastore.
cool.

"That's why Bush has won and -- even with "Democrats in control of Congress" -- continues to win most key votes. The fault lines in the Beltway aren't primarily between Republican and Democrat but between those who support the core values of our political establishment (as reflected by the Bush administration) and those who don't."
