For example smart mines that will be powered, but indistinguishable from the signature of these "server farms", then hydrophones and other such technology for locating and tracking submarines and so on.
"About the Authors" makes clear how no thoughts other than the clown game were entertained by the article, but aren't we past the times that things get written about 20-30-50 years down the line. :)
