If you absolutely have to have a connection to the net from the network, why not install a tar pit on the download side?
What I mean is if you try to download something that is 100MB + on a 33.6kbps downpipe, would it not make a sloooow process allowing any network admin time to turn around and say ; "HMMMM what's this?"
Eitheir a thin pipe (14.4 or 33.6) or a verrrrry slow machine would stall such a caper, no?

Actually people living longer is already a fact. Our ancestors lived barely half our current lifespan. Diet, medical treatment and enviroment have helped us along for a while.

Early Hominid 1: Uggggh. Live Longer? Errg. Chase buffalo and reindeer many many seasons. Urrrg. Can get to hear many shaman stories. Then errr, eat many many berries for many spriings... ehhh then chase arounf female many many more years. Dunno.
Early Hominid 2: Uggghg. After while get bored with buffalo. After while get bored with berries. Err after while can predict ending of shaman stories. After while get sick and tired of same buffalo dung from female...beside urrrg. planet be filled with ten thousand smelly people like you.

This is kent brockman, you may remember I used to report live on how the little guy lost his job to technology and how I appeared to care.

The concept is hardly new. The motor-in-wheel has been in play for quite some time in the electric vehicle domain.
