I've heard several stories of people tracking their stolen laptops
down after an installed client like Seti/DES/etc. phoned in with
results.
It wouldn't be too hard to set up a script to run occasionally, with
an innocuous name, like "flush-buffers". Have it send a copy of
ifconfig's output to some e-mail address you maintain on a service.
If someone snatches the computer and connects it to any ISP, you'll
get a steady stream of tracing notices.

I saw that most programmers never mature above the "see jack run"
level. My pals at the [suppressed!] Comp Sci Dept scoff at the
estimates I make, but I never underestimate -- they always do. I
think of the big picture, the 75% that remains after the code "works".
