----------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE!!!! ======== This message is here purely for reasons of preserving the history. I was recently approached by the person who originally sent this message, and he asked me to remove the name or something. I re-read the message, and... well, I better just reproduce the whole E-mail I sent him: Fate indeed is not without the sense of irony! When I downloaded your short clip [He wrote of one Blender animation], my ISP's transparent web proxy was acting up (that has been going on for the whole week - I was delighted to note that today I was actually able to submit a web form!). I had to set up a SSH tunnel (localhost:12365 -> my mailserver -> onslow.mine.nu:80) to download the clip. And now I looked at the comment you was concerned of... ...you ask how to get rid of censorware. And I just used one of the techniques that is commonly used to get rid of censorware to download your stuff. =) Believe me, *these days*, I know what N2H2 and Bess are, and very much oppose the use of such filtering software - the companies who do this are really messing with stuff that they really shouldn't be messing with, and worst of all, people are trusting these scumbags. If I had been in your position, believe me, I would too have been looking for ways around the filter *very* soon. For example, take a look at http://www.everything2.com/. It's my favorite web site, and I spend most of my days there these days. Then search for "Bess can't go here" (or see this link: http://www.everything2.com/?node=Bess+Can't+Go+Here ) - interestingly, that document also mentions the SSH tunneling. These fools censored this amazingly useful and educating and just plain damn wonderful website because "it has an uncensored chat". DUH! (Sometimes I suspect they happened to be visiting when someone mentioned "lesbians, monkeys and soy" again...) So, I *really don't* think what you asked was wrong or immoral; you just asked about it in a wrong newsgroup... =) What comes to censorware, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. So, don't think this guy is an 33vUl d00d. It's just that we don't talk of this in the group. =) - WWWWolf, October 6, 2002 [ The name and E-mail are rot13'd to fool search engines. =) ] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- From wwwwolf@iki.fi Thu Apr 22 13:25:22 1999 Path: news.eunet.fi!wwwwolf From: wwwwolf@iki.fi (Weyfour WWWWolf (Urpo Lankinen)) Newsgroups: rec.games.roguelike.nethack Subject: [RGRNCA] Re: N2H2 filters Date: 21 Apr 1999 11:34:37 GMT Organization: Eccentric Pride - They call you crazy.

Okay... The basic hacking technique is to place the filter on some flat, solid surface, and then split it into two parts with axe. Since you're in an advanced place, I assume this technique was already known to you. Well, actually, since you probably do, you have tried and failed, so we have to be more specific. I don't know what "Bess' N2H2 server filter" exactly is, but I guess it's something that filters stuff whose chemical formula is N2H2 in a serving machine made by Bess. In that case: - Open the machine. - Take the filter out. - Clean it. - Split it into two parts with axe. Ooops... I think you already tried this. Nevermind. Well' let's figure our some advanced hacking techniques you might not have heard of yet. - Get a better axe. I recommend the Fiskars product line. (Those axes clearly beated the lousy brand-x axes what came to the durability in Rovajärvi last Christmas, so I think those were pretty good.) - Try hacking it from an angle, not directly from above. - Try banging it with the blunt side, not the edge side. Or pnershy, lbh qba'g jnag gb fcyvg lbhe fxhyy. Oops, sorry, my plush fox just fell on the keyboard. Never mind about that letter jumble. If you don't find the correct technique, I will try to help you find it. But try those first. ::grabs the d00d from the throat and peers deep into the eyes:: Dimwit.
