Proxy Sites Offer Secret Passage to Myspace
JafSquared writes "As sites like MySpace.com gain popularity in young adults, schools all over are finding that taking measures to keep kids blocked out of these websites is becoming increasingly difficult. As this hype continues, proxy servers such as "Box of Prox" are springing up like wildfire. While system admins furiously work to diminish the strain placed on their school's local networks from sites like MySpace, these proxy sites are enabling easy access to restricted areas. However, schools aren't the only places that are feeling the heat. Proxies have also been becoming a bit of a complication in the workplace. To the more advanced user, the proxy server can become a tool for malicious intent as this article, delivering an anecdote with the termination of an employee, so poignantly details."

You shouldn't be looking at nasty pictures while at school or work, let alone nasty pictures in nasty colors.
Indeed. I hear that rock and roll music, comic books, and video games all cause ADHD.
I used up all my sick days, so I'm calling in dead.
Other than the background music, you're describing slashdot.

The part about the firing was short and rather matter-of-fact. Where, exactly, was the poignancy?
In the words of a famous Spaniard, "I do not think it means what you think it means."
