Mark secretly works for the NSA. They've set up a secret room at his
place of employment and they've tapped the fiber at the Telco Hotel and
are splitting it off to Mark's work. There's a cluster of Linux boxes
doing deep packet inspection on all the traffic. The huge spikes this
morning are because all the students are back and the freshmen -- not
used to all the available bandwidth -- are now happily downloading all
the {music,videos,pr0n} they can.
