You guys joke but here is n little article from last week on the current state of Neutrino communications:

http://www.economist.com/node/21550242

"The neutrinos themselves are created by smashing bunches of protons into a target made of graphite. They are detected roughly 1km away by researchers [..] . By modulating the pulses of protons the group was able to send a message in binary that, when translated, read “neutrino”. "
