I'll throw my name in

Ha. Geekhack is now categorized as a "malicious web site" by Websense. Oh well, that's the end of my participation there. I don't have the interest anymore to contact Websense to have them re-categorized. Is it still blocked? I could shoot off an email to suggest@websense.com to get it delisted if ...

Could be either, but if a lot of people aren't complaining, there's a good chance that it isn't ...

I have Comcast and looks from a casual read like cloning a Mac address is too much work right now. It's actually easier than most people think.
