Farewell my friends. We shall miss your presence here on the Lot.

Cuz there ain't no frigging way in hell your posts are going to make it through the Great Firewall Wall of Australia.

What a load of BS. Psh. Of course you can opt out... oh yeah... maybe not. I guess there's always proxies - unless those are somehow all blocked too.

So much for all the plans to move Downunder if McCain wins. Does this affect New Zealand too?

Yeah.... They've lost their God given right to sneak a peek at porn sites while their parents aren't watching!

Now how will they learn what pasties are?

1. Get a cheap shell account in Europe (probably Germany) or the US. $5/month or less.
2. ssh -D 1080 lashbear@your.shell.account
3. Set your Internet proxy to localhost:1080

Done!

This post heading is one of the most worrisome I' ve ever seen! Glad it didn't actually portend tragedy.

I'm confident the lashpair will find a way.

Not quite the same, but interesting that this is happening at the same time.
