blocked at work:
http://www.tdameritrade.com/welcome3.html

Not blocked at work:
https://wwws.ameritrade.com/apps/LogIn

Other sites I am aware of that are not blocked:
e-trade
scott-trade
bank of america (largest bank in the US that does have online trading for stocks)
smaller local banks

Pretty much any financial company that exists is not blocked. They single out Ameritrade as the only site that needs to be blocked and they can't even do that right?

GENIUS!

Same thing on web-e-mail where I work. Funny enough .... mail.com not blocked. The service sucks, but it's friggin' mail.com

Anandtech was blocked, but being a defense contractor .... it is actually useful on occasion. So they unblocked it and many other hardware/software based sites.

wikipedia is also blocked. Well, sort of..... they don't know how to block things apparently.

Ebay used to allow you to browse, but you can't look at specific items or place bids. Not sure whath te current stte is right now.
