Please follow these instructions:

1. STFU
2. Log in as root
3. emerge apache
4. Set up a local web server with a large file on it
5. wget -c the file over your network with each kernel, from another
computer on the local network.

Erik's said several times now to use a local server. He's right.
You're not. Probability is against him; but you're still in the box
with schrodinger's cat, so you can't give any sort of guarantee either.
~ His method *does* give a controlled experiment which supplies said
guarantee.
