invisiblebear's comments on his work knocking out parts of the internet.
We've already had the damn "Websense" program on IE. The damn thing has a strange sense of duty. It allows Yahoo Groups, but cuts out any EZboard list and has even gone so far as blocking Major League Baseball. You know they don't have nude athletes on MLB.com - a marketing tool they've surly missed.
And IM and Live Journal are right out.
Today we get the news that our work e-mail will be filtered too (they already cut access to Yahoo Mail, Hotmail, etc.). We had been able to send just about anything over our e-mail except of wav files. One of the big things at the office is sending around all of those jokes - clean and not. There have been a few nude people you might find in your inbox...it happens. :-)
What I'm waiting for is the problems. Even the best filtering software finds some way to fuck everything up. I'm sure the first e-mail that throws out a "shit" will be killed, pictures of puppies will die, etc.
All in all, my life will be fine, but definitely inconvenienced.
