As you may have told from my previous blog at http://www.thoughts.com/Firiun/blog/what-if-60822/ , i am a bit annoyed with the technology around me. This includes those stupid "Net nannies" designed to stop people in businesses from accesing websites that are "innapropriate". My arch nemesis, Websense Enterprise. This idiotic, moronic company decides to block anything with the words "Stone" in, because it is like the word "stoner"! I found this out one afternoon when, googling "Limestone", I was presented with this screen:

WEBSENSE

Your organization's Internet use policy restricts access to this web page at this time.

Why??????????????

A perfectly reasonable article on limestone blocked. I tried another.

WEBSENSE

Your organization's Internet use policy restricts access to this web page at this time.

No!!!!!

and again.

WEBSENSE

 and again

WEBSENSE

and again

WEBSENSE!!!
WEBSENSE!!!
WEBSENSE!!!
WEBSENSE!!!
WEBSENSE!!!
WEBSENSE!!!

By now, i was reduced to slapping the keyboard. But, with a wave of inspiration, i turned to Wikipedia, the encyclopedia of all knoledge. Guess what?
