Nope, tried that, it's all blocked. I even tried to set up a remote connection to my computer but it didn't work for some reason. Apparently they know their shit. Sigh.

Yea, if they have all proxies blocked then there won't be a way to circumvent their policy short of hacking into the Websense server and adding your workstation to an exclusion list...
Maybe you can pay off an IT guy? hehe

Actually, I downloaded about 15 gigs in June sooo... that may be it.

i've heard about isp(s) capping download space for over a year now. fortunately, my isp hasn't done this yet!

Scroll wheel problems?

After about two weeks of annoyance due to my scroll wheel mysteriously ceasing to work and after countless product support searches I finally found a solution.

Turn the fucker upside down on the mouse pad and furiously rub the bastard back and forth at great speed.

Works a treat!

I wish that worked for everything.
Wife problems? Turn that fucker upside down and furiously rub the bastard back and forth at great speed... (That might actually work now that I think about it)

It'll definitely free her up of all the dust and fluff that's accumulated, if nothing else.

Nothing wrong with the hard drive...it's the RAM I'm having problems with!

The time you start using computer terminology for double entendres, is when you know you spend too much time on the PC!

I want my life back. :/
