Yup! Way to convenient.
My local library had an internet f_rt last year. For
well over a month, no one could directly access Google though Bing was suggested
as an alternative (the only browser on the network is Internet Explorer). They
even posted "We're Sorry, Perhaps you could use ____ instead" signs at the
terminals. After complaining several times to no avail, I finally raised a
royal stink to the chief librarian and made a real asset out of myself. The fact
was I couldn't stand being told that they were pouring enormous resources into
solving the problem and couldn't figure out how in the world to fix it.
Outside, someone else who overheard my conversation told me they too were not
pleased with the supposed unsolvable problem. I went to my local representative
and the police as well, given that my freedoms were being infringed in an
inexcusable manner. The problem was solved within several days.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

We had a contractor set it up = Don't blame me
We had a contractor set it up but we forgot to tell him how = Go wash
your mouth out.

Since when has a client ever specified the requirements in sufficient detail for
the contractor to deliver what the client really wants?
Yes, I'm a contractor, and sadly most of my clients are idiots who don't know
what they want, hence why they call in a contractor. What they don't know I
fill in, that's my job.
If you look at the list of what's blocked and what's not clocked it is very
inconsistent between 'good' and 'bad' sites, it allows sites that would be
blocked if this was a conspiracy.
No, my guess is the contractor was called in, told to install a public wifi
network and that it was a federal requirement to have filtering in place,
installed whatever software they favour and just used some standard list from
the vendor. Believe me, most organisations don't want to waste their time and
effort configuring or maintaining this stuff, they just use whatever some vendor
supplies.
