I was once called into the office of the director of finance for running SETI@home on a work computer. They were so chintzy with bandwidth that my regular communications showed up as a reason for Comcast to suggest they buy a faster pipe. SETI@home was called out as a "wasteful use of resources" in a company-wide meeting. That fuckin' company.
