My work uses WebSense to filter viewable pages - I don't have an option.
I used to be able to get to darcs.haskell.org just fine, but apparently a /hacking directory was added somewhere, so WebSense put it on the naughty list.
I put in a request for WebSense to review the site; hopefully it will soon be allowed again. But if not, I'll have to go through lots of red tape, which I'd really like to avoid.
I assume/hope this "hacking" is only in the sense of making adjustments to code. Is this right? If there's anything involving DoS attacks, etc, I might never be able to get to it from work again.
I get the impression WebSense is relatively widely used. Is anyone else here having similar trouble? Oh my goodness. Please tell me WebSense isn't _that_ stupid! As if any

WTF, no wonder it feels like we're losing when the "good guys" assume the "bad guys" have an intelligence comparable to the average vegetable. Sorry for the outburst, this sort of brain dead "security" just really upsets me. /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org Jabber: magnus．therning＠gmail．com http://therning.org/magnus What if I don't want to obey the laws?
