I see you would also agree that the fact Lockheed does that is a
problem in itself, right? You probably waste more time waiting from a
reply from ALE than searching it yourself.
I don't mean to suggest anything, I just find the issue sad. I have it
pretty decent at work, but sooner or later things will start resembling
that, I guess.
Sheesh, "browsing". Imagine that they block all non-work related sites
then. And watch things not getting done as fast (if at all) as before.
Install a proxy on localhost that makes Google look like something
else, hehehe. Or, on a more serious note, get a Google client. Are
there any for your OS? (I know is a workaround for a non-problem, but
what can you do?)
