naturally, commuting to canada is probably a *lot* cheaper than owning a boat. the uninitiated have little idea what these holes- in-the-water really cost.... :-)
*Loud* chuckles. Who says you have to *own* the boat? (haha) A suitably paid Canadian boat-captain could easily testify that you arrived every day to the boat with your trusty laptop, to develop your software within Canada. The disk with your saved code on it never left the boat. When you finished your development, you used a borrowed satellite phone to call up your ISP in Canada (we're talking physical Canada, not virtual, maritime, and bullshit Canada) to post your code and uuencoded executables to sci.cript, and alt.test. And since you used a satellite phone, for the modem transmission, no US phone lines were used (a cellphone wouldn't do). Of course you wouldn't actually have to do any of this. The gentleman just has to say it in court. The truth, the whole truth and nothing but.
