Damn glad to see some part of the Log is being kept alive...

Well, you missed the joys of the Websense filter. They block all porn sites, plus anything else that might fall under the category of "tasteless."

I wonder if the geniuses that determine what's "tasteless" or not get the privilege of using the same network? Maybe the brigade mislo should do routine checks of ALL of the officers' home computers for those who live on the yard, just to insure they are practicing what they preach. Just a thought, since they preach "lead by example" every opportunity they get. I can already hear their excuse: "the tax payers don't pay for my internet..."

How is that an excuse? You just plain cannot do certain things with government resources that you can with personal.

Midshipmen at the academy pay an IT fee each semester that covers the cost of internet and cable. They are not using goverment resources. They ARE on a government network though and that is why they "protect" it.

Umm, yeah - they're using government resources... The simple fact that they're on a government network proves that.

To add on... I am pretty sure that anyone who lives on the Yard has the exact same internet provider choices that I do i.e. they aren't on a government network.

Not sure how it works for officers, but over and over again, they remind us we're on the same DoD network as the Pentagon.

The IT fees supposedly ended after ADM Rempt, who used them not to provide the net to mids, but to advance information technology at the Academy for mids, so says Feeddown.

Websense can be pretty annoying. "Tasteless" seems to be pretty a liberal view of what's tasteless, and of course theres "adult content," "violence," and "sex education" blocks too. I've had (unnofficial) Navy and Marine Corps sites blocked because of "adult content" or "violence."

Oops, I'm sorry I wasn't clear. I was referring to any officers who live on the Yard, not the MIDN.

Nope, understood. I was strictly speaking for Mids. Totally unaware of how officers' internet on the Yard is.
