What we should do is tell 'Boss' that MP3s sound better if we stream them over IPv6. Hey, we could take it even further and claim that it improves the quality of images, video streams, and also makes pr0n stars look hotter!
When you go shopping, always have an accomplice - (s)he picks up the blades, hands them to you somewhere else in the store, and you take them to the checkout.

No silly, you're supposed to put the clock speed there, not the frequency of your AC supply ...
