But even if we accept that you're completely right, you're still trying to circumvent policy (which is misuse of the network), still in a home setting, and still not functioning in a professional capacity, so the question's off topic. | |

If one of my users tried something like that on my network, they'd have my boot so far up their ass they'd be able to feel it in the back of their throat. | |
