How deep does the rabbit hole go?

To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a little better; whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is the meanyour world. -- Norman Vincent Peale

School Blocking everything but HTTP

mitch @ 5:15 pm on March 7, 2007

Wtf!?! Why is it that people think that only web traffic is needed? If they want to stop certain activities in various places, like keeping people from using IM and other various programs in the computer lab thats typically used for teaching “typing”, I can understand that. But I’m currently sitting in the computer lab, used for the computer science classes only. And still, EVERYTHING but http/https is block, and on top of that, there is some content filtering going on and I can’t get to my Gmail account. Google pulls up fine tho… hmmm. Believe me when I say I understand why its being done, but at the same time… I’m also now inspired to circumvent it… and I’m even tempted to figure out how its being filtered and really tax the damn thing and make it crash. I hate being blocked/filtered, and I only gives me motivation to get around it and cause havac… I also suspect I’m not the only one.

-UPDATE- They are also blocking ALL HTTPS!!!! so they could be watching me post this right now!!!!  eat it!
