IsA BeinG in InsectWorld or CrawlerWorld?

as an ant among foreign ants is killed,
does an ant without ants die,
but life without ants is sweet as honeydew!

Pattie Maes: Humanizing the Global Computer

"Now that we have a network, it's as though we already have our intelligent machine. It's a huge distributed system in which, like an ant society, none of the components are critical."

on the tech side, an insect walk script (EnginE:InsectWalk) has been demoed with an ant.

http://news.com.com/2008-1082_3-5065859.html - an interview with a boss of a company who switched away from MicroSoft? to OpenSource tools after a BSU ride, and has been happy since, has a nice commentary on the apology from MicroSoft?: 'I got an apology today from a wants-to-be-anonymous Microsoft employee who heard me talk. He asked me if anyone ever apologized, because what happened to me sounded pretty rough to him, and I told him no. He said, "Well, I am. But we're nice guys." I'm sure they are. When a machine gets too big, it doesn't know when it's stepping on ants. But every once in a while, you step on a red ant.'
