Question of the Week suggestionsEach week we ask a question. The idea is to generate material that's:
* interesting to read, i.e. we won't get bored of reading the answers after about 10 of them
* not been asked on this site before
* fun to answer
What would you like to ask? (We've left this question open - so feel free to drop in ideas anytime.)

Website FirewallsWe've all had the most innocent of websites blocked by the most stupid of firewalls at work/school/community care hospital. Why not share the stories of annoyance.
Back when I worked fixing computers at a Vetinary University I was volenteered to help setup a presentation for the board of governers. On requesting a timeframe to complete this particular job I was told "the meeting started 10 minutes ago." I started running.
I reached the meeting room slightly out of breath and proceeded to setup the projector, screen, computer and network connection in under a minute while managing to keep the "not as technically adpet as they think they are" governers from disconnecting everytihng because they wanted to do it wireless. (no really)
I decide to stay around for the 1st couple of minutes of the presentation just in case soemone does something stupid. This turned out not to be my greatest idea because the 1st website shown in the presentation just happened to be banned on the network. Reason? Beastiality.
