Why web filtering is bad (yes, it's VW related)
« on: February 14, 2006, 11:18:22 am »


That is what I got when I was just looking at some stuff about VW vans. (no, it wasn't the LT that tripped it. The domain itself was blocked.)

Ha, terrorism.  That's funny.  Probably mention of Hitler or something on that site.

But, it's LACA, what can ya do.  I applied for a job with them a while back!  :P

Please tell me that you didn't apply to be in charge of the filtering.

Or, if you did, tell me you were going to fix the filtering ;)

Oh, and they told us that we weren't able to disable the Free_Hosts category, because it was already activated, and we couldn't change anything now. Even the admins (not sysadmins like me, but the real school admins) were being told that it couldn't be done.

I'd rather have a VW stealership service my Jetta than have LACA be my ISP, especially with the downtime whenever it rains.
