Thanks a lot!  Now I have that dang song running through my head!  

 

It keeps interfering with the voices though, so I can ignore them
easier...

And then there are the really problematic school districts where the
staff seems to have "gone native"

        I like the description of our precious little savages, I mean
children, it describes them pretty good.  I know of several schools that
depend upon blacklist/whitelist methods of filtering and don't seem to
have a problem with it.  But, those are also the same districts that
have enough staffing to be updating those lists daily and supervising
the savages, I mean children, constantly while they are using the
computers.

         

        I look at it this way, SurfControl is expensive, but far cheaper
than the payroll needed for all those extra people to do the manual
screening, and far-far cheaper than the lawsuits that would be generated
as a result of letting little savages in heat do unsupervised browsing.

        That's true, when you have professional malicious users like the
little savages in our public schools, you have to go with Websense or
SurfControl or some similar content filtering solution that updates it's
database everyday.

                You can go the black-list route, but knowing the kids we
have here they will find ways around your black-list in a matter of
minutes.  Your best bet is a program similar to SurfControl, that
updates their listing of websites every day.
