    You can block websites via software/hardware, or by simply editing a small file that is stored on your PC called the hosts file.

    This files location is :-

    C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc

    You'll need to open it with Notepad or Wordpad or any other text editor.

    If you for example edit the file to something like this :-

    ------8<----------

    #blocked sites

    127.0.0.1 localhost

    127.0.0.1 myspace.com

    127.0.0.1 www.myspace.com

    ------8<----------

    ...

    This will re-direct myspace.com to your localhost/your PC or why not re-direct it to yahoo answers ;)

    #blocked sites

    127.0.0.1 localhost

    answers.yahoo.com myspace.com

    answers.yahoo.com www.myspace.com

    If you have any internet security software, you can add it to the blocked list. If you have a cable modem router, you can usually block it there.
