I want to block out myspace.com from being available to browse on my laptop, is this even possible? BTW, I use Firefox.

Yes...
You can put www.myspace.com in your local hosts file with a bogus address
c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
www.myspace.com 192.168.0.1
and othe rvariations of myspace.com in there as well.
Another way is if you have a firewall, use that to block the myspace.com domain.
And, if you have a router, you can block the domain there as well. Look for domain filtering.

This is easy to block.
locate your HOST file no extension. Generally located in c:\windows\system32\drivers\ect.
scroll to the end of the file and enter the following
127.0.0.1 myspace.com
What this does is forces the system to connect to your local network adapter and return that information instead myspace.com website.

Go under Start to CONTROL PANEL.
From the Control Panel go to NETWORK AND INTERNET CONNECTIONS.
Under Network and Internet Connections there should be a section that says, " or pick a
control panel icon."
Look under that category.
Click on Internet Options
At the top, the 4th tab to the right is content.
The top section labelled "Content Adviser" can be enabled. Once you enable this feature you can control what is viewed on your computer very specifically.

it's easy, you can use NetDog : http://www.netdogsoft.com
just add the website "myspace" to "Always blocked website list" in NetDogAdmin.exe. NetDog can work with all kinds of web browsers, and it blocks website quitely, also you can set a password for NetDogAdmin.exe, none will be able to open the website
