Proxy firewalls and content filters are both good & evil things; they can prevent you from making a bad mistake, or bad mistakes happening to you. However, sometimes it might be useful to punch through a proxy or firewall.  Whether it might be for your youtube fetish, listening to internet radio, or uploading images/media into WordPress successfully (or you are a proxy admin and you want to prevent this sort of thing), this article on pushing connections through a firewall may be suitable for you.

Caveat: Doing things like this can be against your proxy provider’s policies. You are responsible for your own actions. This article is for educational purposes only!

Ok folks, we need to make a decision to buy a new iPhone 3G or not, and we would like your help and input. The iPhone 3G seems like a great phone but based on circumstances, we need to know if it will be worth it.

Now, I know at least some of you readers out there have made the plunge; you have purchased the iPhone 3G (we also know that not all of you were brand spanking new customers to AT&T or were ready for the 2 year upgrade, so maybe you are/were in the same boat that we are in). I need to know from those of you who have the iPhone 3G, if it’s really worth it.
