I would imagine that a fairly large percentage of the Hacker News community probably works for themselves or as freelance contractors. The main problem is not that of hiding your browsing from an employer, but having the self control to work rather than browsing.

That's actually a question I've had for a while.. Someone should start a poll ( I don't know how )

Didn't even know these guidelines existed, but it was fun to read:

"Please don't submit comments complaining that a submission is inappropriate for the site. If you think something is spam or offtopic, flag it by going to its page and clicking on the "flag" link. (Not all users will see this; there is a karma threshold.) If you flag something, please don't also comment that you did."

Heh.

Nice! But it doesn't beat the Jabber client embedded as an Excel macro I used while working for a bank.

This is awesome. Someone port it to my circa 1994 cobol compiler and I'll be set.
