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."

Digg? What's the site? I'm moving there if it delivers news for nerds. For the first time ever a few days ago, one of my posts was rated "Troll" by some dumbass. I simply gave my opinion why MAC is void of security vulnerabilities, and how they are 1/10th the market share, and how if they were 90% of the market share, 15 year olds everywhere would start finding vulnerabilities. Hell, I may be wrong, but "troll"??? That's enough to get me to go somewhere else and never come back if the alternative has as much to offer as /. But, if not, I will stick with /. because of what it offers, and deal with the occasional dumbass who rates my posts.
