I don't think I ever said or implied that.  It most certainly is not my right to do anything with someone else's computer.  But I would consider internet filtration to be unneccessarily fascistic, and indicative of deeper problems.  If you can't surf the net without creating security problems, your network is shit.  And if an employer gives a crap about what I do in front of my computer when my work is completed, then they are shit too.

EDIT:

Dear Administrator:

It has come to my attention that http://www.microsuck.com has been blocked from access by your students and staff due to "pornography". Microsuck is the website of the Microsoft Eradication Society, a community dedicated to education about and promotion of open-source and other alternatives to Microsoft products and the eventual end to Microsoft's near-monopolies on operating system and other software.

We do not condone or allow the posting of pornography or other offensive or unlawful materials, and remove such postings immediately upon our becoming aware of them. The message which we believe triggered your blocking software has been removed. We request that you review our website and forums and remove the block on them as soon as possible.

Thank you.

My school recently switched to Websense filtering...infamous for pissing off Maddox.

I don't have internet access at my work. I'm there to work not surf.
