Slashdot Mirror

So I'm on BT, and like most people I've replaced the terrible "home hub" with a simple 4 router solution, 5G backbone to distribute wired around the house, single 2.4G AP for non-wired devices, OSPF to manage it all.

It's connected upstream to the VDSL via a pppoe (username bthomehub@btbroadband.com, no password), and the central DNS proxy uses either 4.2.2.2 or 8.8.8.8 upstream.

I've spent the morning scientifically browsing lots of porn sites, and haven't found a single one blocked. A google search for "porn" reveals the following sites on the first attempt, all work just fine.

http://www.pornhub.com/
http://www.youporn.com/
http://www.redtube.com/
http://www.porn.com/
http://www.xnxx.com/
http://www.perfectgirls.net/

The search also brings up the following site
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/

Which is blocked as being morally unwelcome in my house.

What am I doing wrong?

There are SOOO many free porn sites out there already, why bother pirating it?

To name a few:
http://xhamster.com/
http://easygals.com/
http://xnxx.com/
http://youporn.com/
http://redtube.com/


etc. etc. etc.

So does this guy giving a woman some head qualify?
Not Safe For Work!

Well, real quick I see these fine (not safe for work or kids) selections:
http://video.xnxx.com/tags/bollywood
http://video.xnxx.com/tags/india
http://video.xnxx.com/tags/indian

That's, just on one site, and it's not dedicated to Bollywood porn. There is some content overlap because the tags overlap(duh).
Just because someone lives in a country does not mean they are interested in porn for only their race, region, or nationality. A porn dog is a porn dog, no matter what race, religion, or location.

Enjoy!

Oh noes! Now you're a criminal too!

You're a clueless idiot with too big an opinion and too little an education. Most of the stuff you go on about being illegal is perfectly legal in the U.S..

return the Internet to its original pure / virginal white

I agree. http://www.xnxx.com/ has been tainted long enough!

There's actually a few reasons for this. One, the upfront costs of creating the movie are generally paid in the theater. This can be considered similar to how a band makes most of their money touring. Consider, though, that a band can only play to so many people at a time while a theatrical release can play to pretty much everyone who wants to see it. With multiple showings so it fits your schedule rather than having to schedule around the show.

Number two is simply replay value. A good album can be listened to many many times before it gets old to the owner. I wouldn't be surprised if there are albums I've listened to over 50 times, or even individual songs I've personally heard more than 500 times. With movies? Five viewings becomes tedious. Number three is the highly fractionated audiences... people really get cult-like about their music choice. And most people will not listen to music outside of a couple chosen genres. And there are a LOT of genres out there: Wikipedia lists over 31 styles of house music alone. Most people will not listen to all the artists in one sub-genre, they will not listen to all sub-genres of the genre. And that's just the genre, which fits (not too neatly, but...) into the larger overall group of electronic, which itself competes with the whole classes of rock, hip-hop, R&B, Blues, Jazz, Classical, Folk, Country, and all with their own genres and sub-genres and then blends from outside even the largest boundaries: Traditional Polish Gypsy music blended with elements of Reggae Dub and influenced by trip-hop? It exists.

Now movies on the other hand have... action, adventure, romance, drama, mystery, comedy, documentary and horror. Sure, there are more types of movies than just that, but people generally don't get chastised by their peers for watching a particular type of movie. This translates into a given movie having a larger audience than a given song or album. This means that each movie sale has to cover a much smaller portion of the up-front costs.

Although I did specifically leave porn out of the movies classification, though. That's a different beast that breaks the rules I set out... very low production costs, but it's purchased by a much smaller slice of society, so each purchase is covering a very large portion of the initial costs. And the tastes in porn are generally very varied... what works for one person may revolt another consumer of porn, further reducing the size of the target market for a given production. This site (warning... definitely not work safe) lists what... 100 types of porn? And I'm sure just about everyone on slashdot would find at least one genre in their that at least makes them uncomfortable. So in terms of the economics, porn is more like music. Even down to the performers getting a lot of their bills paid in public performances (I.E. strip clubs.)

You're kidding, right? Pretty much every technology related to the internet exists because of the sex industry (pornography in particular.)

Streaming live video? What other purpose does that really serve?
High speed internet? It only reached critical mass because it allows people to download their porn faster and in higher resolution.
Newsgroups? If you every actually used one, you'd see what they were used for.

Hell, you know the reason that someone coded the first graphical web browser was to make it easier to put up pictures of naked chicks.

The anonymous feel of the internet makes the whole ordeal much more private, which means the PC guilt trip put on guys who want to look at girls without clothes on can be avoided.

Just like one of the oldest pictures in existance is of a naked girl. A porno was among the first movies made. You know the REAL reason why VHS won the format war? That's right... Sony refused to liscense Beta to pornographers. I'd be willing to bet that once man figured out how to paint on a cave wall, some of the very first images created were of naked females. And you can bet that some of the first sculptures had boobs or a penis, and you can find examples of sculptures that even had both! (Just as you can find examples of pictures of people with both all over the internet. It's really unsettling when you are trying to get aroused by pictures of naked women, and all of a sudden there's wang hangin down there.) If you need proof of the last existing, click here note: DO NOT CLICK LINK AT WORK OR ON A SHARED COMPUTER. Unless you want to get busted looking at pictures of chicks with dicks photoshopped on.

I think he is busy finding new wank-off material for his site. Speaking of wanking-off, I'll be at XNXX if someone asks for me.

Being sysadmin is just perfect for me.
