I doubt that the lone gunmen's machines would be running Seti@Home... I mean...
<whispering> You do know don't you? That software is really processing data for marketing research. It has nothing to do with Extra-Terrestrial broadcasts.
<eyes looking to make sure we're alone> "Have you ever really looked at the data their sending you? Almost no-one does..."
I think it would be ok for the Herrick Library to offer a choice of browsing modes to it's patrons. If you want to choose the protected browser use it. If you desire an unfiltered browser choose that. Each patron should be able to decide for themselves.
There are times where I've been randomly entering domain names to see if there is information there and accidently encountered pornography. Let's face it, there are some domain names that you would not guess would be a porn site.
This would probably not be too difficult to implement. I suppose that they could also make the filtered access seem more like the default (so that unknowing children select it). [Big shiny candy like button].
The most important thing though would be that patrons are allowed to CHOOSE the access they desire.
[BTW, I live in Holland, MI. and will be voting anti-filter until they come out with options like this].
Anyone else going to Holland, MI Circuit City...?

Anyone else going to the Holland, MI Circuit City tonight to point-and-laugh? If so, stop by and say hi to me in the somewhat rusted '86 Chevy blazer. I'll be celebrating the Divx Death tonight since I've been part of the anti-divx campaign since Dec '97.
It died faster than I thought it would, but not as fast as I would have liked.
