 Gracias Sala para enviar el enlace a las categorías del filtro de mayo de Bluecoat 
 ser programados para bloquear [ERROR: Sentencia demasiado tiempo para traducir (11163 bytes&gt; 1800)]. 

 Haga click en cualquier enlace y da una explicación de la intención *, * incluido 
 sitios web de ejemplo. Por ejemplo para la categoría de Aborto, se refiere 
 abortionfacts.com. 

 Cuando leí el hilo - y antes de que hice el post original a la lista - 
 fue la explicación tortuosa que me llegó. 

 Explicaciones del tipo 'bueno, era un procedimiento estándar &quot;o Whaddya' 
 saber, el friki con la boca abierta que habíamos haciendo esto desaparece en una fiesta de su 
 propio 'cepas credulidad. He trabajado como contratista en varios EE.UU. 
 agencias del gobierno federal en el área de DC, incluyendo la toma de fuerza. Esto fue en 
 finales de los años 80. Tenga en cuenta el período de tiempo y lo que estaba ocurriendo entonces. Mi área 
 de la experiencia fue sistemas de red y procesamiento de objetos binarios.No puedo 
 ver lo que le permite una COTR, \u200b\u200bun friki contratado, para configurar un perfil de filtrado 
 sin una supervisión directa.
