Hamon: Web-Proxies can be blocked; at 3 of my recent jobs we did just that. Presto! No more web-proxy.

I'm not saying it's malice proof, but it's darned close.

KNEEL BEFORE ZOD!

Brandth27:

As always, money is the chief problem. Ah well. If they can get the scratch together, they can apply the correct solution. If they want I-macs or E-machines just plugged into a wall outlet instead, they'll get what they paid for...

What if the librarian is a pervert?

FlightDeck-

Actually, mostlibraries are choosing to not filter at all, so there really isn't a big problem.

it's so they can steal your passwords

What about blocking terrorist acts or correspondence?

Thats fine, but can I still view my aol mail????jk We have it set up where I work, so that you can only use one proxy, and that proxy doesn't allow you to surf sites that are blocked via a constantly updated database. It works throughout the state at tons of schools and crap. They block almost all pop3 web(2mail)clients. Sometimes, of course, they miss a site:)

first of all, you can always find porn


second of all, why consciously eliminate a reason to visit the library

Can you imagine the poor schmuck who doesn't know that alarms will go off and he visits a$$mafia.com.

Poor son of a Fark...........

Great - Have you seen the people who go to the library for free internet porn?

if this happened in a porno, the hot 20 year old librian would come over when someone visited a porn site and things would start to heat up...


"Do you need any help with that, sir?"

"Why yes, ma'm, can you get rid of all these popups?"

"Well, there's one that I can help you with..."

[boom chicka wow wow]

Explain that when you go to "The Hun", you're looking up German Medieval Castles!

Now if they would only allow me to install that software in the college computer lab I work in.......

We keep track of "kills" we get when we bust people for porn in the lab.

IM HOME THE MASTURBATOR

CapnWacky: seems like you watch a bit too much porno for your own good.

What kind of people look up porn at the library? Every farker I used to see at the library before the filter software. They used to print it up and leave it for librarians to find because they forgot. Nothing more disturbing than see some guy drooling over a pic he's too cowardly/cheap to do at home. Now with the $.10 a page, printers at the counter which you must sign for, and the annoying filter(can't access Fark of Gamefaqs, grrr), that's no longer a problem. I don't mind internet cops, I mind the farkers that make them necessary.

The one I volunteer at has an easier solution. All screens can be seen by anyone at the refrence desk. No boobies for you!
