The riocar.org site has been blocked by N2H2 (bess) filtering system. This prevents most school computers in the US from accessing riocar.org....the stated reason for the site being blocked is that it contains pornography...does anyone know why the filter thinks this???...i miss getting info at school. :-/
error message:
The Site: http://www.riocar.org
is categorized by N2H2 as:
Pornography

What does pr0n mean? I'm guessing it means porn? Then why not just say porn? I've been trying to figure this one out for a while now.

You're the one using ha<ker/el1te speak in your username! I think that using an "0" instead of an "O" will prevent certain filters like this from falsely detecting p0rn (whether they be filters at work or child protection programs, etc).

I'm not sure on the filtering system, but most filter the URL and/or IP. You could try using the integer which would be http://3485924070/. However, since RioCar.org is a virtual host (something I didn't know prior) the server is not set to respond to the integer (or even IP address). This could probably be resolved easily on the server side.

I've wondered this too.
So yeah, I can see why p0rn instead of porn, but why pr0n?

From the Jargon file:
pr0n: // [Usenet, IRC] Pornography. Originally this referred only to Internet porn but since then it has expanded to refer to just about anything. The term comes from the warez kiddies tendency to replace letters with numbers. At some point on IRC someone mistyped, swapped the middle two letters, and the name stuck, then propagated over into mainstream hacker usage.

Odd. I'm looking into N2H2's re-review process, as this definitly seems like a mistake.
The closest thing I can think of is the one picture in Hugo's gallery, but I doubt the reviewers really looked into every nook and cranny of the site.

You mean that picture of a fully-clothed person sitting in a car is considered pornography?
Oh wait, maybe it's some of those naked images of Tux in the boot logos section.

No, not really, I need to play nice with the other virtual hosts on the machine. Plus the logo part wouldn't work, as that still uses the empeg.miniinfo.net domain that is mapped to the same server, same IP. Plus, with an upcoming move of the box to a more reliable host soon, the IP will probably change. (Not sure if anyone noticed the bit of downtime yesterday afternoon, it wasn't server troubles).

Oh yeah, of course. It makes the background look natural. Otherwise you'd think there was just a white sheet draped behind the car.

I don't think it was actually PLANNED for a Max Power model to sit in Hugo's NSX in the back yard of Cambridge Car Audio during an open day..
What she got up to with Hugo in the tool cupboard was even less planned.

Those are the perks! Now that's he's a fellow, he probably gets ALL the action!
So the saying "I wouldn't kick her outta bed!" can also be used as, "I wouldn't kick her outta my car!"?

Oy! I was happily attached at the time! Tell the truth, the max power woman was a bit intimidating - rather huge heels. Not my type, but as others have pointed out - not someone you'd necessarily kick out of your bed/car/sofa

"Nobody snuggles with Max Power! You strap yourself in and feel the cheese!!"
Never pass up the opportunity for a Simpsons quote, no matter how much of a stretch it is.
