Could you ask him about the implications on the Internet of evolutionary

robotics and artificial life, please? At what point does he think that the

Internet could support more sophisticated forms of life than viruses? How

long after that point would he expect to see such life-forms? What sort of

degradation in the network would be acceptable to users, and what level

would bring people to commit program genocide on them? Once loose in the

wild could they ever be defeated or contained? And how long after that would

the little buggers become self-aware?
