        It works on campus and thats usually where a lot of my posting takes place. Pay attention in class? Nah, I'll post on OS.

              same here, im a teller at a commercial bank....so say 15 customers a day...which means about a half hour if its 2 minutes each. Most arnt even that long, plus balancing at 2 takes about 5 minutes. So the rest of the 7 hours and 20 minutes is mostly internet browsing. haha

                    this is pretty much the only site they havent blocked at my work yet. Its probably only a matter of time though. All other gaming sites have been blocked.

                      I certainly don't know your exact situation - but I was doing an internship at a school and had to set up a proxy and all that sort of stuff.

                      Instead of trying to get around it, why don't you just follow the rules and browse the forums at home? The proxy is there for a reason, and it's really annoying when users think they have the right to just try to get around the security put in place.

                      If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)

                        This job that I just switched to is the first one I've had where different sites were blocked... OperationSports.com was blocked, which pissed me off, but then I took a guess after a week and tried the forums... So I just saved the forums page as a favorite and I'm good to go... I only really post during lunch.

                          I do work while at work, but being able to surf the net while I do stuff really helps keep me sane, especially during a slower period when we're not slammed...i understand how some people probably abuse this and don't actually work, but I think allowing web access can also keep employees happier.

                            If somehow that url would appear as something like google.com then I'm sure you could get away with it, but the safeforwork url totally gives it off that your up to no good(atleast doing something you shouldn't be doing).
