I finally put a patch on my firewall to prevent ME from visiting FR

[mode13h_net]

Granted I haven't been involved with DU for very long but I see how worked up and irritated some of you get when it comes to their attitude over there. This 'let's give rove a medal' discussion has sent me over the edge and I keep finding myself trying to go back to read it again and again in some sort of sick, self-mutilating fashion. I am supposed to working on my thesis and while I can maybe give up some of my free time to come on here and post and I am spending 400% longer on freerepublic cutting out quotes and text messaging them to my girlfriend for laughs (she's a left coastal girl as they say).

So fortunately our firewall (for those of you who are unfamiliar with what I'm referring to, its basically the device that keeps the bad stuff out of your network - spyware, spam, dos attacks, etc..) software was written by me (plug) so I can easily patch it to block sites. So as of this moment - http://www.freerepublic.com is inaccessable from any of my workstations, and I have to slap my hand and say "NO!" when I try to logon to the firewall and remove the patch.

It's rough but I know I can do it. I..I... I HAVE TO LOOK!

*SLAP* "NO!"

1. Can you put a patch

on the firewall here that keeps me from screwing around on DU when there's work to be done?

2. Years ago, I had to stop lurking at the ACLU boards for the same reason...

...they had (or may still have) a free-for-all going there, with some of the most radical people from all ends of the political spectrum screaming at each other 24/7. It was like political crack.

3. Cool!

Now can you turn the patch into a virus and spread it around the planet?
Keep humanity away from that cesspool!
