Arancaytar:
I've seen my own website blocked as pornographic content. That was odd. :P

Carl-E:
Soooo

late one night I was checking a couple of the less safe websites at the hospital out of curiosity. 

Oglaf wasn't blocked.  Maybe they thought the gag of a security page was good enough? 

Chester 5000 wasn't blocked, either.  That one's almost pure porn, too, but the strip itself has no words - maybe they can't tell what the content is? 

I was talking to a friend of ours who's the new IT department (yes, he's the entire department) at our local public library.  Apparantly most blocking software is a subscription service, and although some blocking is done automatically with trigger phrases, most is done by a staff of people checking websites by hand

Could you imagine that job?  1,000 monkeys sitting at 1,000 keyboards dictating what our children can see...

--- Quote from: smack that isaiah on 28 Oct 2009, 13:07 ---At my highschool I had a lot of trouble writing a paper on music I liked because the word "hardcore" set off many alarms

I couldn't access the Wikipedia pages for "Hardcore Punk", "Melodic Hardcore", and so on and so forth.  The same with Google searches.  It was quite annoying.

Oh, I see the problem here. You listen to shitty music.

smack that isaiah:
What the fuck, dude? 
There's nothing wrong with hardcore music, and nothing wrong with enjoying it, either.  Just because you can't enjoy or identify with the raw power of strong Black Flag or Sick of It All or Comback Kid, or numerous other bands doesn't mean it's shitty music.  It's just not for you.  It is good to other people.
And, so what if you don't like the sound?  I do.  Do you have to criticize me for it?  There are people with a wide range of musical tastes on this forum, so why would you bother singling out one genre in a thread which is unrelated to music to pick on someone? 
I wouldn't butt into a thread on baking where someone off-handedly stated they love gangsta rap to state a thought that all gangsta rap is complete crap because it isn't.  I just don't prefer to listen to it and wouldn't search it out for listening purposes.

I've only tried QC and pictures for sad children at school and both of them worked.
