Your waisting company time and resources. Not only that but do you have ANY idea the pain it is to put right a system after some daft bugger runs "that little bouncing dog"? Even if it's not a virus, the next user will get all confused, or it'll be baddly written and eat up all the system resources (when working with big files (70ish 26MB files at once, this is very bad)...
No, out right banning of users access to the net, except when its needed (like for the IT team & management, and at break times) and banning the installing of none-authorised software is a GOOD THING (again the IT is execpt but management are not).
Not when running on a machine with a Java-proc (i.e. a proccessor that can run Java byte code nativly, which quite a few embeded MIPS proccessors can now). Same with it's size, it does shrink quite a bit when it's only the base class libs.
You can get 100% java voice recognition systems, so you could maybe do it on one of the new mobiles.
Still does not help for Quake, but for MUD's it would be cool...
But all that said and done, it would be easy to a system that you phone up your PC, it answers and send what you say through a voice rec. app, the pipes the output to a shell.
Point your Nokia 7560 at the sign, click a button, get the sign back in English. Or (as he has done) point your digital camera at a sign, have your PDA take the pic, send it via your mobile phone to a mainframe then fly back to your PDA.

Could you imagen this with Doom, a chain saw & shot gun sticking out of the side. I can think of only a couple of night clubs in london that'll want 'em:)
Look up the "jobs" section, find a project you like & go for it.
The thing is, how much weight does this have? n my exprenence not much. They (interviewers) don't need to see your technical skill (you passed Uni, you have it) but your team work skills (shows a bit in OSS), project managment (oss does not count for much) and how well you work in a comersal(sp) envoroment (not shown AT ALL in an OSS project).
time to add whatever.the.hell.mediaplayer.uses 127.0.0.1 in the hosts file, and maybe a quick webpage to return Mlk and a vacume cleaner the spam-email from that could be veryyy intresting:)
Well, thats not quite true, I move to managment, then ran like the wind to tech support...
Well, heres my story... First Job (code monkey (3) & part time DBA(we had a full time DBA who doubled as Project Manager, but his time was limited)): At a uni, developing a Java based student regrestation system. This was good, we got the project done, but it was far from perfect. Code Monkey's Team Leader kept scrapping the code base every few weeks (in the end, I moved my stuff to very generic code, that could be placed anywhere). The TL & CM#2 throw chairs at each other. The last week of the project the project manager when off home, and the TL was talking about scrapping the code base and moving on, we (the other CM's) were dead against it (and backed up our code), TL had just completed the GUI we'd even seen, scrapped the code, and developed one half as good, then (2 days before project end) scrapped the code again (rm -rf jreg!) and said he was off to see his mum for a week!!! so off we went to see our SA, who, as luck would have it was on hols, and (as it was the summer holiday, no one else thought of making backups!!!). So, two days, we throw together a GUI, and russed it out the door (thank [the] [g|G]od[dess][[es]s] for the back up's of our code we made)! Job Number Two, Code Monkey again, but this time in a team of two code monkeys. I went to the interview, went, yeah that sounds cool, i'll do it! This was at a Hospital Came to work, was given a laptop, told you can work from home as there is no room here, Ohh the Project Manager is on holiday! We'll start the project next week, but in the min time, could you create an "Online Nurse Training System for [some long medical term]" Here is the pamplet, a week later, we have the basics out (needed a lot of working, but basicly worked, they had to hire a Java programmer to change it;), anyway the boss liked it, and it was used natation wide, the Project manager was _still_ nowhare to be seen, so we othered to expand the training system to become gerneric with a fancy GUI builder, so we worked on that untill TWO WEEKS before project ended, then (and only then) we actually MET the Project Manager (*MS TaaaDaaaa*), and was told that this cool sounding-buzzword-compatable system we are suppost to develop was some web pages, and a little drop of java. Poo! Two weeks, and the pages are done (baddly, we were developers, not fscking artists!) and we were and we ran away from that job, never to speak of it again. It had some plusses thou, knowing that your work (both the shitty web pages and funky online testing system) were being used by people all over the medical community, and the work-from-home == lots_of_halflife. Job Three: IT Manager This was cool to begin with, I had POWER and a company credit card. But with abolute power, comes abolute responcability, any problems, the MD's shout at ME! Dam it, I can't even rm -rf ~md, and I'd just get it in the neck! Well, a year and a half latter, and I can't stand it any more, also the project I which sold me on this job gets canned, I move from project to project (ranging from Web to Access to VB (uck)) which was fun, as when yr get board of PERL so move to VB:) So, my contract is running out (it was only for 1.5 yrs) and I say "good bye, thanks for the drinks", do some interviews for my replacement, say "she would be Great!, what you need down to a T" (and bloody sexy too). So they hire some bloke that, well could do the current project, I guess... just... So off I move again. Pissed of people blaming me when it all goes tit's up, pissed of at people scrapping code i've worked hard on, just pissed of really, work is not for me...
Well I get othered a job as "On-site IT Support Executive (Night)" At first I though, Hmmm night, no cuddling my g/f (which is still a BIG problem) but then the magic words were spoken... More Money and only work four nights a week. Sold me. It must be near 6 months now, and it's great. Don't do much work. Something goes wrong, we (me, and the "users") blame the day staff. It's great. Even better sence I've downloaded NTEmacs, Cygwin and ProxyTunnnel (woo, SSL (and more importently CVS.sf.net) access!)
So there you have it, managers are a PITA for developers, (I've not had a problem with my current IT Manager, Project Leader, or EVEN CTO), but then it's a crap job at the top, people you can't fire blame you), so be kind your manager, say "I Quit", and find a nice cusshy job like Systems Support and some SF projects that sound like fun:)
What more would they be blocking, ip's of illegal sites (i.e. BBC.co.uk) and maybe blocking on content. If it's content based, use encrypted sites, or ask someone to set up a proxy then sends back the data over https:)
I'd be intrested to know if a http proxy on port 80 (say 206.228.51.3:80;) would get you through. (It works for me, nasty work blocking my ssh access;)
Also what other sites are blocked? All porn sites? And what happens if you attempt to access (and more imporently circemvent(sp)) the firewall?
MS as supported commersal (sp) UNIX's for quite some time (MSIE, Outlook & Media Player have been on solaris for a long time), and Office has been on MacOS also for a lonnng time, I really don't see how this is a glorous moment for any OpenSource License.
It's just MS support other _commersal_ OSes.

You can tell they are into pain before using the Painstation, the green shouts it at you!
Only by default, all pop songs are the same.
you have not used a narrow band in a while have you?
2.2MB song (a small, lofi) ~ 15mins.

You are charged to recive SMS's in the US?
eak!

Considering the past cryptos & gov. "openeness", I would guess this has been about sence it was released.
time to add :)
whatever.the.hell.mediaplayer.uses 127.0.0.1
in the hosts file, and maybe a quick webpage to return
Mlk and a vacume cleaner
the spam-email from that could be veryyy intresting
While, in theroy the idea is great, but would you want a copy of your code checking software floating in the internet...
Also, how long before
bool isLegalCopy() { return [complicated_math]; }
becomes
bool isLegalCopy() { return true; }
No, Bliz should have had the legal-checking stuff client side.
Well, thats not quite true, I move to managment, then ran like the wind to tech support...

It has not yet, it lives on in it's two new forms, OBOS and PalmOS.
I'd be intrested to know if a http proxy on port 80 (say 206.228.51.3:80 ;) would get you through. (It works for me, nasty work blocking my ssh access ;)
Also what other sites are blocked? All porn sites?

mlk
Code based themes, a la Java's Swing gets round this (something I hope OBOS will pick up on, if they make it themable).
This, if done well means you can have themes that both control look and FEEL!

This might be the way forward for OSS companys, no longer will developers need to use a "real life" job to support there opensource programming
