FIREWALL IN THE HOLE! (Or vice versa)
Edited on Tue Feb-01-05 02:38 PM by rocknation
My office has put up this anti-streaming firewall, which means no Air America. I can use Windows Media Player, but only for playing CDs and downloaded media. RealPlayer and iTunes I can't download at all.

Naturally, I had no reason to think that I could listen to my favorite online radio station through Winamp. But I downloaded it anyway--and it works perfectly! I love it that I've outsmarted them in a way. But does this make me a hacker? And is it possible to get AirAm through Winamp?

1. Not that I know of
but maybe you can find a local affiliate who has a MP3 stream.

In the meantime you can listen to a bunch of liberal/progressive talk shows (including Thom Hartmann!) via WinAmp over at RadioPower.org.

3. Can you install programs?

If so, you could install a so-called anti-firewall that might be able to bypass this.

5. Wow, this REALLY means a lot coming from a former Rush fan
Thanks--being a day behind is better than nothing. And I can listen to Thom Hartman live at noon.

So what was your moment of truth--what did Rush finally say that made you switch channels literally and politically?
