Sign up to fight the filters.

Sign up to fight the filters. As filters get piled upon filters it gets difficult to tell whether the document requests fail due to technical problems or due to active denial. These folk are developing a distributed application which will use idle cycles to map out the boundaries of filter space and help fight the cantonization of the Net.

Of course you might wonder just what your computer is requesting while it is idle...

I deal with filtering at work and home, and its a real pain in the ass when it keeps me from doing work.
