i saw the talk a def con this weekend.

one of my take ways from this talk is when certain sites such as youtube/imgur/slashdot/reddit are
black listed due to corporate IT guidelines people often go to proxies to circumvent
this. So the net effect of black listing popular sites (besides being a pain) is to make your
network less secure.

imho ... wasted banwidth is better than getting hacked.

duckduckgo is amazing in my book - it
makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside.
