They should rename the school Morning Wood Academy.

Look folks your blaming children why, these filters were put in because of the sanctimonious A holes known as christians and their Moronic TURDS better known as the Anti American republicans. You know the Idiots that play to the situation at hand put a band aide on it then call the problem fixed. DUH! nothing changes and the Idiots that uncover this blame the children, why not blame the real culprits those anal retentive right wing I am afraid of my shadow MORONS.

Did it dawn on any of the Clowns Morons and Idiots that they FAILED to keep current of what the original intention was, or like good little sheep should it be privatized then priced out of the market so the Anti AMerican Anal retentive TURDS can make a profit.

It's a damn shame you never make sense and have no idea what you're talking about.

It really is funny how the Brain Dead wonder through life without a clue yet can't seem to put two words together with out a 8 hour block of instruction. Then when anyone offersa opinion different from theirs they panic and start with the name calling. Now realizing that you probably are Inbred, of very low social status, and back the Racist,Nazi republican party I will give you a assisgnment to prove you are Brain Dead and Stupid. Now here are five words for you to try and use see realizing that you are lacking in education I give you these five words, now you look up their meaning then try and use them in a sentence, now don't burn your iddy biddy brain out. indomitable- mendacious- emblazon- surcease-risible. yeah,yeah i know it cruel and unusual punishment requiring you to think (sorry about that cuss word).

Thanks for the words of the day, but I already knew what they meant.  I'm just
glad you know how to use a dictionary and a thesaurus.  Also, I don't mind
differences of opinion.  In fact, I encourage them.  And I definitely don't back
the Republican party, but you're just a bit mad (I mean that in every sense of
the word) that I'm not a Democrat.  You are too worried about sides.  You
criticize and hypothesize, but you you put forth no effort at a solution.  It's
a shame too.  You've definitely got plenty of energy, enthusiasm, and the proper
amount of disdain for authority.  Too bad it's all overshadowed by a lack of
 fear for saying what's on your mind, with no filter for batshit crazy.  I'll
leave you to your cancer (aka hate).

It is amazing how now that people to include me are standing our ground and refuse to back down. I ROFL, because when the COWARDS and TRAITORS were in charge of this Country and sold us down the river and STOLE the Treasury the Morons on the right cheered it on. Even now the Gutless,Spineless and COWARDS of America are trying to rally to nullify the government, why because a BLACK MAN is in charge. they are printing their own money, calling for gold coins. Now they cut the jobs of the very people that are trying to cut the budget DUH!  and you say I'm crazy. Yeah twenty + years of my life to Serve and Protect this Country to have a Drug addict, Alcoholic WAR CRIMINAL bush and Coward and TRAITOR cheney, number one Nazi and Racist of the which can be proven when this Racist called the seating piece of shit that was president of South Africa during apatheid, this low life scum bag cheney encouraged and cheered on the then sitting president to keep SLAVERY
alive and well and assured the Nazi,Racist that he and other in his cowardly party were with this Clown.
 Now I watch my Country go to hell with people like you who would rather attack then offer solutions. I've sat in a truck stop in Northern Indiana an was cussed out because I refused to back the WAR CRIMINAL bush. I was in fight with the Brain Dead republicans and the Shit for Brain tea baggers because like you , you recite sound bytes and bumper stickers and want that to pass for intellectual knowledge. I listen to the Brain Dead recite the Faux Noise Nit Wit net work as fact DUH!. Give me a break guy when Obama was campaigning I was traveling to about 13-14 States supporting the man and I will do it again, he is NOT perfect however he has done what the IDIOT right has failed to do LEAD and get Legislation Passed and played the Clowns and Morons on the right like a good Fiddle. One more final note, the Morons on the right are into the meme, You accepted the Idiot Ryans policy and never read it, yeah I am pessed and I own lots of guns and I have no, no
hesitation about using them if threatened and the real good thing is I am trained not like the CLOWNS with there make believe bumbling fumbling militias.

The amount of ignorance here is hilarious. The department of education is one of the biggest networks in NYC with over 1 million users. The way it is setup is that it is split into two networks running on one line. There is no way for the kids to use the other network unless they use a computer in an administration office. All student and teachers offices run off of the instructional network which filters a lot. The administrators have a less filtered version which allows access to things like youtube and facebook as well as access to use attendance programs and such. All DOE internet traffic runs from each school to a central location located in each borough. Two of the boroughs share with another borough, meaning there are 3 locations. Then these locations connect to the central location which has control over all of the schools network policys, filters, advanced IT support and such. The filter they use is websense which uses a blacklist of sites that are disapproved of. Of course, it is impossible for any filter to catch every single bad thing; when I was a student, some kids always tried to see if they could access a naughty site or go to a different video site. But usually those sites got blocked pretty fast. There is no way to scan every image being displayed on a computer for pornography. The shear amount of resources needed for that sort of tech would mean it would take a real long time to access one page, now multiply this by say 100,000 active users and kaput. Also, all DOE computers need to be connected to the DOE proxy in order to use the internet. There is no way around this, meaning that all the students must go through the filters. If a site needs to be unblocked or an office switched from administrative to instructional network or vice versa, DOE has to get a call from the school with all appropriate details. No 14 year old "hacker" is getting around it. Proxy sites are not what they used to be and get taken down very fast. The word proxy is actively filtered I believe.

So your saying a kid can't install a proxy server on their home PC on port 80 or 443 (SSL), plug the IP of their home PC into the Browser settings at school, and away they go? How are filters like websense going to know to filter home users IP addresses running a proxy on port 80 or 443?

Why bother when they can just tether a phone with internet access. If they are using the DOE's network, they can't just put that in the browsers settings and go for it. You need to have the DOE's settings to get any internet access at all. There are very few ports allowed to be open and connected to on the network as well. Ports 80 and 443 are blocked.

If Port 80 and 443 were blocked, wouldn't that mean the entire www is blocked, since 80 is www and 443 is SSL? What would the point of having an internet connection of you block those 2 ports?

I work at a college, see "kids" all the time bringing in flash drives with Firefox pre-setup with their home proxy, all they do is plug in the USB, click firefox, and are able to surf anywhere they please. Unless they block USB ports and port 80 (all web surfing), the kids will find a way around any blocks put in there way, and quickly.

Split that mess into three or four paragraphs and I might actually read it.

How about I don't and you can pretend not to read the info.

"know how to hack" wow. thanks for the soundbite, rookie.

it's just naked people. lighten up.

do those filters also filter guns and violence?

No, the natural (or slightly "enhanced") nude body is more offensive!!! Toy guys are okay. Anatomically correct dolls and action figures are not.

This is terrible. I am an adult, free to look at whatever I want, and I **never** look at pornography.
At least, assuming that you do not consider Voyeurweb, Image Fap or Guess Her Muff to be pornography.

Mike Mulgrew's mother must be so very proud of him.

Kids know about proxy servers. Principals don't. They will always win. Just like when we used to look at the scrambled PPV and adjust the horizontal to make out the porn.
