"scientists at University College, Dublin found it boosted surfing speeds by between 100 and 500 percent depending on the basic dial-up connection rate."
If a higher connection rate gets you a bigger speed boost it certainly sounds like pre-caching - more bandwidth means it can pull more pages.
Not to belittle his effort, but this is probably a (gifted) geeks pet project that has been misreported and blown out of all proportion.
Believe it or not the military actually have some experience in the area of jammed / faked Comms.
Although getting mil standard crypto into such small devices might be hard. Then there's the high possibility of them falling into enemy hands and the crpyto key being open to comprimise.
How about writing raw frames? If you make your own IP Packets they should skip any internal routing thats going on. Its not that tricky and it will give you a lot more control if you want to experiment with stuff like TTL and ToS.
As well as pruning your resume, consider your appearance and personality. You might want to leave your ipaq and your $700 suit at home, and be ready to talk beer/sports/cars/girls instead.
Most non-professional interviewers are trying to hire 'themselves', so don't present yourself as being too different to them.

Nothing against Sandra Bullock, but she hardly looks the part.
How about Lexa Doig?

Similar to the Hebrides (heb-rid-ees, not heb-rides) a bunch of islands off north west scotland.
IIRC Gnucleus doesn't support the hyper-cube (aka tesseract, hyper-net, super-peer, etc) extensions which allow gnutella to scale better (if not perfectly). I think LimeWire and BearShare are the only clients that do.

Agreeded, but a private groups cracking effort is a nice way for someone at Microsoft to leak the key and get the cash.
$100K must be pretty tempting.
On the other hand, you could probably blackmail MS for more than $100K to keep the key a secret.

Ignore what I said, you may have a good point.

Just google for hebrides if you're interested.
