Exactly my point. There are always more ways of circumventing stupid
restrictions. If telephone lines were disabled, then just use floppy
disks or CD-Rs. If those were disabled, then take a printout in OCR
scannable form. Worst case, memorize one line a day, go home and write
it down. Stupid restrictions are stupider.
