I sent my students off to devzone.zend.com to look at some of the great tutorials there (devzone.zend.com/article/627) and access was denied because the web-site’s content was deemed “inappropriate: contains computing and IT chat”! That’s almost as good as the time our filters denied access to the Vatican’s Art Gallery because it contained “Nudity, Lingerie and Profanity”. Roll on Conroy’s firewall!
