    Parent us currently "40% Redundant" - how can first post be redundant? Wait, I'm complaining about the moderators, now that's redundant. :)

    So he set up a fan? What's the point, that it's from a computer?

    I don't think you'd pass the turing test.

    They hear that I'm NOT accessing sites with mature content, because the filter warned me. In this company, they have brains. ;-)

    They would, but that doesn't mean they're right.

    Sometimes the story goes "he beaks the law, but he does nothing wrong. We must change that law."
    That's one reason why I break the stupid laws when I want to.

    I have to stop clicking \. posted links when I'm at work...
    It's "Slashdot", not "Backslashdot". ;-)
    Sometimes I'm quite happy with the filters in the proxy at work. It allows me do most of what I want (in my breaks), but certain things that I really don't wont to see at work (and sometimes not even at home), is blocked with the message that it contains "adult/mature content" or similar. Great. :)

    I listen to it. It's hard to argue that I'm not allowed to do that. I may break some laws, but there is nothing wrong with what I do.

    Well given my recent troubles to decrypt an EMI copy protected CD i'm not sure where to go for music that I can listen to in the manner I choose.
    [...]
    It was one hell of a lot easier to simply download the music, why do I feel punished for trying to do the 'right' thing.
    This is what I do:
    If I like a track, but it's in a format I cannot play (DRM wmv, copy-protected CD etc.) I may not buy it. I don't like to support that kind of crap. But if I really like it, I will download it illegally, then buy it. I may not download the file from the online store, or open the case I buy in a physical store, but I've paid for my right to listen to the music.
    I don't know if it's legal (after I've paid), but I don't care. There's nothing wrong with what I do.
