People asked me how I can be on slashdot and yet have my entire network offline (no internet access).

The answer is simple: I work.

I use the machines at work and their connection to get online, read email and stuff.

My home network of 32 servers and stations (and an 82 machine animation rendering farm) have no direct access what so ever. I would have to physically move any of those machines out of the house to get them online.
