Not if the person is determined enough to break in.
Someone could probably break into your computer given enough motivation also. Firewalls aren't foolproof.
As far as the mineral rights go, quite a few people don't own them, even though they own the property. It basically means you don't own what resides underground in your property. I don't know if it covers things such as cable lines, but I'm willing to bet there is something similar on the books, and that if you bought a house or property it's written into the 99 year lease you signed to "own" the property.
You could stop someone from physically trespassing on your property. Look at a jail, they stop people from trespassing all the time.
You can't tap into a cable line that is on your property, because you don't own the mineral rights to the land most likely. I mean, by the same logic you should be able to tap into the electrical pole and bypass the meter because it's on "your" property.

I would believe Moore's law could apply to doubling of internet usage, but that is every 18 months or so. They seem to state that it's growing exponentially by doubling every 100 days. Wouldn't every ten months be something like 10 to the power of 2 in traffic?

Hope this made some kind of sense.

Errm, flawed figuring. Every 3 years not 10 months. ~S
