Use Google to get around blocked sites

[Easy Mac]

Are you at work and they block some sites (like the FOFC)? Just read this article (http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/h/4807), or just do the following. Type <code>http://www.google.com/translate?langpair=en|en&u=www.forbiddensite.com</code>
(hxxp://www.forbiddensite.com stands for the URL you need to go to...) and you're done.

We block all translation sites (incl. Google's) here, too. Sorry guys, it's my job... :D

Hmmm, so what is babelfish?

Thanks, I'll forward that one off to work as well. I'll figure something out. If there's a way, there's a will!

this is the greatest thread ever started on FOFC, imo...was using this trick all night with bablefish.

many thanks

Our firewall knew all about these sites and blocked them all...

[Joe]
