I love the arbitrariness of our web filter. This is a phishing site:
http://www.povray.org/resources/
I'm half-tempted to punch the "request access" button.

It's the official site of the documentation, in fact ;)
You should sign up and help clean up the docs!

I don't get it. I get the page I expect and I don't see a "request
access" button.

You're not trying to access it from where he is. ;-)

That button is in Mike's "phishing prevention" software.

Thanks, I missed the implied 'supposed to be'.

Or better phrased: "Your computer does not having a draconian, and
completely arbitrary device designed soley to prevent access to websites
on the internet."
Google's cached pages are extremely helpful, btw.

For every system, there is a way out. ;-)

I saw a great suggestion to pass the URL to google and ask it to translate
from English to English. :-)

You're assuming this would be an identity transform; I'm not so sure.
Ever tried asking Google to translate from X to Y and then from Y back
to X again? Exhibit A:
"Leave the impact price-increase your body."
Good luck figuring out what that was *before* Google mangled it! ;-)

Apparently at the time it was. However, google seems to have blocked this
trick, probably not wanting to be a proxy for everyone's blocked web sites.

Frequently - when using Google Translate, I often do that to see if what
I get back resembles what I meant. :-)

Wasn't there a site somewhere which takes a website and mirrors it? As
in, turns it into a mirror image?
Then there's Google caches and the Wayback Machine. (Both fail to give
you up-to-date pages, of course.)
Or you can buy an ancient laptop, install Linux, plug it into the
Internet, and use that as your own personal SSL-encrypted proxy. ;-)

The requested page is currently unavailable Your organization has
chosen to limit viewing of this site (http://www.archive.org/), due to
the rating of its content (anonymizer).
:rolleyes: First I heard of a site that gives access to old web pages
being a anonymizer.

Been a long time since I've seen that site, but I do remember it....

Perhaps they mean it's anonymizing the web site, not your browsing. As in,
the proxy is insufficiently clever to figure out what web site you're
*actually* looking at.
