    Why can you not simply change operating systems to something like Linux or install a version of Windows from before July 1 or use a virtual machine? Wouldn’t this get around Net Nanny?

    No, websites are filtered before the data ever reaches your computer.

    Nice usage of a JPG, surprised folks don’t do that more often.

  4. Bill Says:

    the jpg was nice and all, but you used the wrong character for “can.”

    回-to return
    会-can; will

    Easy mistake to make, as both would be inputted using the same “hui” pinyin

    @ Bill, thanks for your response.

    The word is “回避” not “会避” or ”会“ + ”避.”

    Unless this word has recently decided to change itself, I’m fairly certain I’ve used the correct character.
