    [​IMG] Hey all, I just had my first day of Practicum today, I'm taking it in Citibank as an intern.

    Anyways, they've got a pretty tough internet screen up and it blocked all the sites I go to, namely: SP, Gamespot, Yahoo and Google Mail, Liquid Generation, Multiply, Youtube and even Emode. I tried imdb and it let it through, but I can't spend the whole day on imdb :|

    My question is, given the current limitations the screen has set (emails, humor sites, game sites (SP was classified as "games") and "sexual/humor" (liquid generation :rolleyes: ) and others like that) what sites do you think the screen will let through? :confused: something fun i mean :p it'll obviously let in educational stuff and the like :rolleyes:

    oh yeah, it blocks "retail" sites too like amazon and wizardsofthecoast.

    There's way to go past those filters, try them. Otherwise, http://www.forumopolis.com is THE best general forum for pretty much anything. Same core rules as this place, but not as strict. However, go there and be an asshat, troll, or someone who doesn't know how to write/act on an internet forum, and we'll chase you out on our trucks with torches and shotguns. =P

    Hmm... I have some friends who are VPs at Citibank. Maybe you really shouldn't be asking these questions here. :evil:

    Hmmm Rastor... are you considering going against the fellowship of the BOM?

    You wouldn't rat out a fellow BOMMER would you?

    Okay, no. I was referring to Citigroup (particularly the GCIB) in New York.
