Bill typically talks to the people in charge not the people who actually do things. Lots of stuff never filters down from the top or up from the bottom in most organizations. People in the middle control most things.

So let me know who needs talking to in NYC to get RoboChamps unblocked and I'll see if I can't find someone at the right level to talk to them. Send me an email.

Me too, but you would think that Bill Gates could talk some sense into the DoE people. He does give the city a lot of money.

My students tell me about sites they can't get access to at school all the time. I can only tell them to look at those sites from home where they don't get blocked.

I'm sure you can do this to get access to the robocamps site.

I've stopped fighting city hall to get sites unblocked.

Easier to just view the site from a different computer. Problem Solved!

That is sad. My guess is that some automated process added it to a list. Do you have a tech person you can talk to about it?

Sad to say, when I tried to go to http://www.robochamps.com/ from a New York Cite DoE computer I discovered it was blocked as a social networking site.
