very interesting. not quite sure what exactly you mean, whatever. what i want to know is if there is a way to get around the whole “blocked” thing. i knew a couple sites, but i made the fatal mistake of sharing. do you know of a way to get around school security protocols?

Given the close-quarters of an airliner, I think you have to do this. There is just no way you can rely on the “good judgment” of people these days.

Oh crap–this might be worse than the $700B bailout that Congress is trying to push on us taxpayers.

**Full Disclosure: This comment is from a NetSweeper employee.

Hello.

Great points about URL Filtering.
Netsweeper has an extreme advantage over the other Filters where not only do they have Premium Granular, per user Functionality, reporting support options, security and a low cost provider, Netsweeper’s Architecture and how they update New URL’s is more important than the data base size.

When a new URL is not known, Netsweeper will update the world in 1-2 seconds or less. Netsweeper only provides categorization on where customers have visited therefore they only categorize the parts of the Internet that are important to the users.

With Netsweeper’s scanning and AI Technologies Netsweeper also maintains this dynamic data base on a regular basis. Unlike the other list based filters, Netsweeper does not have to chase URL’s then maintain a huge data base. The Netsweeper technology and architecture is designed and proven for today and tomorrows growth of the Internet.

I saw a good review on this product posted at filteringfacts.org. I’m curious to see this software in action, my former employeer had Websense installed and it locked down the internet from bad stuff extremely well. It’s nice to see this technology for the home, especially with how much kids are online now…

Are all these politicians idiots? I’m not saying I’m into that sort of thing, but if I were, I’d certainly be intelligent enough not to STORE it on my computer. At WORK. Sheesh.
