HN now blocked by WebSense: URL Filter category Hacking;Information Technology

Indeed, looks like an entry for HN was activated in Websense today. See another report:

The "software-expert" meaning of 'hacker' is really being pushed out in popular culture. I don't think there is much we can do about it, so I guess we should think about another moniker..

Did they show mercy?

Ha! I'll report back in 3 weeks when I finally hear from them.

UPDATE: Looks like either my IT overlords removed the block without my asking (the official Change Request Form is still pending), or WebSense removed it from their list.
