well that is far more illegal, isnt it wise ass!  Lets see, 12 kids
uploading 20minute sinewaves.  20minutes = 20megs x 12 = 240megs, using DSL
or cable these kids could upload 240megs every 5-10 minutes.  Lets say 10
minutes just to be safe.  so thats  1.4gigs every hour, thats 34gigs a day.
You don't think that would piss them off?  Having to buy a new 30 gig  hard
drive every day just to deal with this crap?  They'd try to put a stop to it
pretty damn quick even though it is well within their usage policy.
