A method for operating a host layer of a distributed computing system on a wide area network includes attaching an autonomous agent to a client-requested carrier, such as web content. The method includes the monitoring line current IL and reducing available printercopier functionality when the line current exceeds a predetermined value IT to keep the line current from exceeding predetermined maximum value Imax. The shaft portion forms the shaft of the grappling hook. Further, the modulator circuit can include an added capacitor that is electrically connected in parallel to the inductors L1, L2, and the modulator element. Further, users or computing devices may be permitted to enter data, alter data, view data, or some combination of viewing, entering, and altering data within one or more of the modules.
