Ya, I asked the same question. I'm curious too.

Just curious, if there isn't that much of an issue as of right now why are we still looking for solutions? :P

@DJ
Congrats on 10 000 posts!
Just in case there are issues again soon :P

In fact, he was supposed to have Omni, Cemetech and IRC unblocked early June, then suddently one day he stopped showing up on IRC altogether then about two days later, he told me Omni was blocked again. (which is when I got pissed and posted that topic). The day after, Cemetech got blocked and Omni unblocked. Now both are unblocked, but for how long?

Gotcha.

TheWorld Browser is just an IE-wrapper. (that is, it actually requires IE, and wraps its own functionality around it) Probably not a very secure browser, on that merit. It's likely vulnerable to the same exploits, and stores your history and temporary files in the same location IE does. There is an option to clear private files, but I don't know how accurate and deep-down it is.

May as just use a portable build of Firefox, Opera, or any other browser of your preference. Opera is pretty fast, in terms of start-up speed.

Why are the blocking calc sites?  It makes no sense.
They are probably totally against using calculators for entertainment purposes and think it should be only used for school. I hate when older adults are so narrow-minded about technology. We were born into it. They need to quit trying to make us stop using it as much as possible if we enjoy it. I hate how they try to make us live the same way as they did when they were kid. We're in 2010, not in 1970. Just make sure your kids succeeds in school, get a job when they are older, not cause trouble when they get older and respect others.

I agree with Opera. On my new quad core computer with 8 GB of RAM, Firefox still manages to take 5 times longer to startup than Opera.

IE 0.3-0.5 seconds
Opera 0.5-1 seconds
Firefox 2-5 seconds
Chrome 0.1-1 seconds

Despite IE faster loading time, IE loads pages much slower. Firefox loads them a bit slower than Opera too but much faster than IE. Chrome has a quite good speed too. I really only recommend IE if you are really comfortable with its interface and be careful to what sites you are visiting. Otherwise I recommend one of the others. Plus most got portable versions anyway, if you don't have them installed

Honestly I would say let SirCmpwn answer that since he is the one living with them so he knows their reasons the best. Speculating can be a really bad thing (sorry, not trying to be rude). I just know that if I were trying to answer that and saw people saying their own reason that weren't fully backed up or not confirmed then I would get a little peeved. (I am however not saying you are wrong, just that (unless he has told you this, in which case I am sorry for saying this) you don't know for sure or anything.)

I agree he should use whatever fits his needs / preferences. I was just throwing that bit of info out there, as not many people are aware that some browsers are actually what you would call "IE-wrappers." Those depend on IE's core to function. While they do offer improvements, you still have to consider that the browser may have vulnerabilities intrinsic to IE.

Well I was referring to the first part of DJ's post. If you're referring to the second part of his, and not mine, then I apologize for that confusion.

Well I just had those experience with every parent I encountered (they did the same thing as mine to their kids), so I was just speaking from experience. I guess maybe I am wrong, though. Also maybe it might be due to parents of the age of my mother being from a different generation

Well, it's up to Sir to provide a more definitive answer. We'll just have to wait...

lolwut?
I kind of stopped paying attention to this thread when it slid off into discussions about web browsers, what is the actual question that you want a definitive answer on?

The question of why your parents have been blocking calc sites.

Ah.  In a nutshell, it started six years ago with pr0n and it escalated since.

How does porn and calculators collide together though? Unless you just mean they are trying to restrict your internet access so you don't do that stuff again.

Like I said, it has escalated.  I'd rather not go into details publicly.

ok how to get around almost all blocks.
If you are windows xp. and unable to run programs, rename the program Keyb.
thee computer sees this as a driver to the keyboard so is not blocked.
might be wrong on reason it works. I do this at school.

Websites. get a flash drive.
download portable firefox on it. from portableapps.com
most of the time not blocked :P

I have no problems with either of those.  I can get around most blocks pretty easily, I just hate the time it takes me to figure out how to go around a specific blocker.
