#1 The kind of filtering these operations use is easily bypassed.

#2 No, it's not. There is only one "official" connection to the outside world - KACST. 90+% of the net connections go through it. The exceptions are Aramco, which has its own pipe but similar filters, and people with mucho wasta. To get an unlogged and unfiltered connection you have to pay the freight of living in a housing compound owned by someone who's very well connected - to the Royals - and thus is allowed to have a satellite dish net connection. Everyone going through KACST is screwed - they block almost everything -- the proxy sites, porn, politics, some of the search engines, and many of the chat sites. Hell, you can't even get to National Geographic.

#3 BTW, my ADSL connection, 256K/64K, cost me $200USD per month over and above my already outrageous rent in al Khobar. I was happy to pay it.

#5 the circle of life, according to Al-Kadhi, huh?

Bonking goats and camels => seeking porn on the net => seeking pedophilia => Bonking pets (goats and camels)
