Sure, but setting up the rules is the hard part, mentally. I could call up Earthlink and cancel my DSL service, and go back to dial-up for extra disincentive in a matter of minutes. But I just can't do it. Anyway...

Just blocked a few of my favorite porn sites. Now I will finally be able to sleep at night.

Thanks for the peer pressure, Koodari. Now if only my wife would let me kill the TV too.

PS: I used emacs instead of pico, but had to Google for the save and quit commands. I haven't used a CLI in years.

I've been waiting for a true sub-PowerBook for more than 10 years. The 11-inch MacBook Air finally delivers on all counts! It beats the hell out of both my PowerBook 2400c and my 12-inch PowerBook G4 -- no contest whatsoever.
