Yep. I was well acquainted with the procedures in the IT department at Dell, and I saw this stuff crop up all of the time. The employee in question was always surprised when one of the guys would ask him about the half dozen porn sites he visited on his lunch break. Most the time the filter grabs everything, but there are plenty of porn sites out there that slip by until they get reviewed.
I'm glad I never used Navy computers to browse Encyclopedia Dramatica, then....pretty much all the ads there are for webcam stuff.
Filter the ads? They can't even keep current on Windows updates. Every computer I've used in the Navy ran an XP platform, and had IE 6 installed (the support for which is ending within the year). My one IT buddy on the ship bangs his head in frustration at how ass backwards our systems are. Hell, the guy was able to shack into everyone's networks at his tech school (for goddamn ITs no less!) and get free 'Net for teh whole 6 months he was there, and went to school with folks that in spite of the high ASVAB score needed, had no idea how basic computer shit worked.
A roommate of mine in Japan was an IT that barely knew what to do with routers. She bought one that came with a CD (which was only needed if we had a wireless printer to set up or whatever) and when the thing wouldn't connect, she thought it had to do with the CD, so she took the whole thing back. I even pointed it out to her, but the stupid little navy-pretty bint got in the snit about being the one with the computer knowledge. Yeah, not like this SH wasn't a Nuke drop or anything. The one she got would also drop out quite a bit, almost always at times when she was out with her boyfriend, and I pay one-fourth of the bill on cable, so you bet your ass I'm gonna damn well reset the fucking router as I damn well please. Stupid bitch even left a note for me after I came back and she and the other twits in the room had left for duty telling me not to touch it. Really, you buck-toothed little snitching ass toad? I hit the reset button on the back of the router and the little twat came in the next day with working Internet and not so much as a question as to why it was working again. I will kick that twat in the twat if I ever see her again.
I have no idea, but I figure these emoticons have been around for a decade, and no one ever bothered to go through and review them.
No, because Mrs. A. can do no wrong. You'll have to blame someone else. My money's on Packard. And by that, I mean I literally have nickels covering his eyes. It's my latest attempt at banning him.
Nah, that's Tamar, she's into all that creepy shit. The racist ones too. Poop, jizz, and racism, odd broad that one.
@Volpone does have a point with the smilies. Tubgirl? Dog fucker? Yeah Volpy had to spend an hour searching for that weird ass shit but why the hell is it there in the first place? I realize @Tamar Garish uploaded any and everything that caught her fancy (tubgirl?!?! Dogfucking?!?!) but I really don't see the use case for 9/10ths of the smilies we have. Is there any way to see which smilies have been used in the last say... two years and just delete the rest?
I would (I work for a public agency) which is why I never browse WF at work (which is why I haven't been posting as much this last year).
Not bad, but I'm going to the eye clinic tomorrow morning to cut out whatever's growing there (true). So I will return as Damok, his eyes open, for John, when the walls fell.
Btw, while I see no need for censorship, if we could cut down the number of smilies drastically, it might make the interface usable.
The workplace isn't the only concern. According to the bible*, loading porn into the browser cache counts as looking at it, which counts as lust, which counts as adultery, which counts as not getting into heaven. (* Probably not the actual Bible, but some other book with the word "bible" in the title.**) (** Actually, it may not have been an actual book at all and is just something I made up.) Also, people are still giving @John shit about being a Brony? I wouldn't have expected such individuals capable of this feat, as 12-year-old boys tend to have short attention spans. Well, you'd be disqualified then.
I just saw the pic and thought WTF? You REALLY have to LOOK to see the porn, Honestly I don't see the big deal. If Volpone did it for attention, WERE GIVING IT TO HIM. If he did it because he thought it was funny, it was in a creepy kinda way. You guys are being to serious again. Just my opinion.
Ah. I see. This administration inherited the problems of the previous ones. A solid, if not familiar argument.
Sorry, but the giant Day-glo green anal beads which are damn-near at the dead-center of the image are kinda hard to miss, even at a glance. If you REALLY have to LOOK to see the porn, I strongly suggest you schedule an appointment with an optometrist a.s.a.p.
On my browser the pic is pretty small, so you have to magnify it. But it's A CARTOON! YES it's offensive, and CREEPY. And YES I have bad eyes, but I see a poorly drawn cartoon.
