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.
