Ah, clbuttic!
Good old naive substring matching⌠Very '90s.
In other news, the UK government can no longer admit to the existence of the town of Scunthorpe in any official documentation
Probably can never report on happenings in Dildo, Newfoundland, either. Or Fucking, in Austria.
Better not try to buy a pen from penisland.com either.
It is a system that is intended to make it impossible to tell if itâs working.
Itâs kinda worse than that - âfile not foundâ makes it seem like the hosting page has made a mistake. Not only is he - Cameron (itâs his firewall, so morally he owns all the fuck ups) - denying responsibility, heâs actually trying to blame innocent parties for his own fuck ups.
What an utter shit.
How are Austrians going to find out about the Fucking weather or even what the Fucking traffic is like back home home now?
It reminds me of when my Spanish teacher had an email to a student blocked and someone had a word with her about school policy because the email contained the word ânegroâ.
Yeah, bad enough that the censorship exists, but that itâs creating issues that make it seem like someone else has fucked up is infuriating. If they actually said, âWeâre censoring this result,â I suspect there would be substantially less support for the censorship scheme than by just having nebulous problems that seem to be due to content provider server issues.
I was wondering about pages related to all the place names that have âsexâ in them. For example, the Essex County Council. Have they been specifically whitelisted? What if they miss some?
âifâ?
Iâm not sure if you quite understand how this thing works. Thereâs no âifâ about it.
Something else just occurred to me: why is the word âsexâ taboo in the first place? Just how absurdly puritanical is this firewall?
That should be Camoronâs election slogan
I donât know what all the fuss is about. You shouldnât be playing games anyway. Computers are serious machines and should be used for serious stuff like doing your homework and your tax returns. And if youâre an adult you should be using them to keep an eye on your servants and your tradesmanâs entrances.
Along the same lines⌠there was a time for my company for at least six months when you couldnât download Google Earth through our firewall â the connection was simply dropped halfway through the large download.
The root cause? A malware detection rule that flagged any PNG file (contained in any larger package) produced by libpng, which is practically a core component of any modern Unix system. We get a huge pile of these rules from our firewall vendor on some kind of subscription basis, and âfacepalmâ doesnât quite describe my reaction when I figured out the scope of this particular bone-headed rule.
Surely itâs keeping an eye on other folksâ tradesmenâs entrances that is causing the problemâŚ
So the naughty firewall is in place? Must only be for new connections because itâs blocking none of the filth I watch online.
Also, if the porn filter is stopping kids from playing League of Legends⌠is that a bad thing?
Thatâs actually a heck of a lot of places in England.
Wessex, Essex, Sussex, The Sex Shop at 1 Wardour St.
Does it also capture âBieberâs exâ? Thatâll cause problems for the glitzmags.
