Because you have a poor ISP. No proper ISP should block anything (except maybe child porn, but that's a slippery slope). Change your DNS to either Google's (8.8.8.8) or OpenDNS. If you live in a repressive country prohibiting pornography you should get a VPN. I'm satisfied with my choice of strongVPN.com

Unfortunately, that repressive regime I live in is my mum's house.

You should get a VPN/shell host somewhere then... or better yet, tell your mom to knock it off.

Wouldn't the regex for "mac" also match "macintosh" and "imac" and inflate the numbers?

You are all 100% correct about the regex. Before converting the product-identifying matching code to Python, I did it in bash using grep -iw to match whole words. for i in newton macintosh macbook ibook iie mac iphone ipod imac ipad II+ iigs LaserWriter osx 'apple ?tv' itunes '\]\[' imovie do stevejobs_tribute.txt |wc -l`" echo "$i: `egrep -wi "${i}s?" $INPUTFILE|wc -l`" done But this was difficult to maintain.

You can use '\b' which matches "word boundaries", so the regex would be something like "\bmac\b".

"tell your mom to knock it off."

There could be young children who have access to that computer or that network.

Just imagine they learned about Apple.

Funny that most of the references to "Newton" seem to be Issac Newton and not the Apple product.

Well, it makes sense. The only thing Steve Jobs did for the Newton was kill it.

In my years of experience:

1) Filters never block shit. 2) You don't "accidentally" find porn anyway.

But god forbid they hypothetically see a breast.

No word cloud?

I'm over word clouds by now. If you look at my site, you'll see that I've done my fair share of them, including one generated from the script of the big lebowski.

However, Paul Kedrosky did a pretty nice job with one - check it out at https://twitter.com/pkedrosky/status/127796382684819456

Thanks, I'm going to update the code and re-run the numbers.

#2 is patently false and the biggest reason I don't try to train people not to use Google as their URL bar. It is not cool when a tween kid tries to visit the Poly Pocket web site and finds something very different.

#1 is partially true. It won't block somebody trying to get around it, but it will prevent #2 from happening.

And a breast is the least of concerns with some of the trash parked on misspelled domains.
