Yeah, it's super annoying when companies assume that everyone has access to an internet connection every second of every day. I mean, we aren't savages, are we?

LOL, indeed.

They always talk of anti-piracy ect., but if I bought the DVD I could watch it anywhere...and didn't they have to remove the authorize-lock off of MP4's purchased from iTunes? Why can't they do that with the TV shows too?

Your main problem was using iTunes in the first place. Regardless of your feelings towards Macs, it's an abysmal piece of software.

Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.

Indeed, you've got something there Illy.

Question then: Other options (I'm not sure of any is all)?

Also, it's probably a simple block. Unless you're using a phone for internet (which I have yet to attempt sneaky evasion on) there are numerous ways to get around site blocking.

Proxies, tor, etc.

Edit: Once I got around some sophisticated wifi filtering by running a virtual instance of XP on my windows 7 computer, both of which were doing ip obscuring ninja things.

Someone had best tell the CBC that Toronto is only the apparent centre of the Universe. Nobody anywhere else wants to watch the Leafs lose every Saturday

Fixed.

Well maybe if you catch the CBC broadcasts from other parts of Canada. Or watch Radio-Canada.

I think my upstairs neighbours may be having sex.
It's midnight, I'm tempted to play Don Argott's "Pornosonic" really loud to make a point.

You are a buzz-kill.

At the hour of 2 am, however, the buzzkill magically transmute to "has a legit grievance" though.

Probably an attempt to limit the use of bandwidth, thus saving them money. Which is reasonable, since it's free, right?

I'd be more lenient if they didn't also have a daycare and their own kids that make far too much noise 20 hours of the day.

Code Monkeys. Way too many people take the codes as rules written in stone rather than taking them as guidelines as was intended (when it says in the freaking code itself that other rational means are acceptable it damn well means that other rational means are acceptable).

The contract manager for my job seems to be intent on moving myself and the Engineer to the Darwin office for my project.
I have no interest whatsoever to live in Darwin for an extended period of time.

Therefore, we are ignoring him and working on convicing the client it is not necessary.
