How can I stop myself from accessing one particular website?
If there was one site I was wasting too much time on, is there a way in firefox to block myself from accessing it?
If not, does anyone know of a a free util that I can do this with? Thanks.

C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc
Open the file "host" using Notepad. Add this line: 0.0.0.0 www.thesite.com 0.0.0.0 thesite.com

Thanks, I'd forgotten you could do this. It doesn't seem to work though, I can still access the site. If I try to ping it in dos, it won't let me and maps the url to 0.0.0.0 but in ie and firefox it still works. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Block it through the firewall, block it through the browser (don't think Firefox has this option though) and of course the HOST file. Be sure to reboot though for the HOST file to be effective.

1. Go to whois.net and look up the domain point of contact
2. Call them and find out what datacenter the site is hosted in 3. Break into the datacenter and locate the server(s) for said site 4. (A) Pull the aforementioned server out of the rack and (B) throw it to the ground. Use force 5. Repeat step 4(B) until you grow weary or you are arrested Note: this is a "cross browser" method - it works for FireFox, Opera, Netscape, and IE
