If everything's unblocked?
For the first time, my school's sysadmin finally put in a blocker -- a very expensive sonicwall. He assumed that i would try to get around it, so he offered me a deal:
His part:
I get unblocked, unmonitored access. (this is on a personal laptop)
My part:
I gotta tell him all the various ways around it
Can't tell other kids.
So far, it's working out great for both of us. I tell my peers i'm 'hacking it,' they don't even try to get around, the admin gets everything blocked, and I get to visit the 2 sites that were blocked: Netvibes and my personal site (/. was open, for goodness sake!).
I wasn't too mad about the content filtering, but this is great because my line is extremely fast, without packet scanning.

The amazing folding keyboard - how could they resist?
Not sure if everyone caught the reference to Pirates of Penzance... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Major_General's_Song
Assuming smart admins that let you use jumpdrives...
the thing is... none of them are tech-savvy or inquisitive enough to find out :P
