Browse All You Want At Work

It has the ability to open and hide the browser within most applications with simple mouse gestures, ensuring no one will discover what por^H^H^Hsites you visit in office ;) (i.e., if your sysadmins don't check the proxy logs...)"
Congrats! Now Mozilla will be on that hot list of stuff not able to download and use at the office!
GOOD THINKING!
Good quote, too many chars. Seriously, the slashdot 120 char limit sucks!
Until some idiot accidently embeds the wrong figure within his PowerPoint presentation.
At the board meeting:
"As you can see in this full-page figure..."
"Well, something about that figure is certainly full..."
as I sit here at work on a Friday afternoon reading slashdot.
But what if your hands aren't on your mouse?
I don't have a sig...Do you??
Wah!
if your sysadmins don't check the proxy logs
:)
There is a distinct difference in a sysadmin who checks the log and rats you out, and a sysadmin who checks the log and gives you a few tips on a really good asian schoolgirl site.
the screenshots show only Windows. Is there a Linux version?
Of course not, only Windows-lamers look at pr0n. Open source granola crunchers can get laid for real.
Trolling is a art,
yet more proof that porn drives innovation....
what is the saying? "necessity is the mother of invention"
it should read
"horniness is the mother of all invention"

Wow, this is great! That's because the office is, of course, the best place in the world to oggle porn. Yeah.
So now instead of seeing the embarrassing sites you're visiting, your boss will only notice more frequent hand...er...mouse gestures.
It's all going according to
Why is slashdotting a site so hilarious to you fools? Every time a story is posted there are a dozen idiots that get modded up to +5 funny just saying "oh gee, look, their site's down"
1) There's nothing fun about being the admin of that box
2) The fact that all these sheep are blindly clicking on the link is sad and pathetic
3) It's just not humorous.
(Score:-1, You Wish)
One of the VP's here complains about getting too much porn spam at his work address. Not because he's opposed necessarily, just because it's all straight, and he's definitely NOT. I browsed his bookmarks accidentally when I was messing with Outlook for him. He's got quite the collection of favorites.
And apparently at the company staff only Xmas party a year before I started, he was tanked enough to scream "holy shit, she's got tits" about one of the interns that had only been around a few months.
I love my job. However, I think our HR manager hates hers.

A firewall that passes telnet and not ssh? That's absolutely moronic! That's like defending against an foreigh threat to the United States by stripping Americans' of all their civil liberties!
You know, really moronic!!!
My Karma was at 49, then they switched to words. All that work for nothing!
How about in the trunk of your Delorian so you can send it back to 1985 where it belongs? :^)
Hehehe... I remember Space Quest III. You would press the boss key and have something like this popup:
:P.
"So you don't want your boss to know you've been
playing Space Quest III for X minutes?
Tough!"
Well, I was about 5 when I played it, so forgive me for not remembering
All well and good so long as you are a beancounter. But it looks rather suspicious if you are a coder. After all no coder worth his salt could stay awake in front of a sheet of financials.

Well if I'm a competent sysadmin I know exactly what traffic is going where, when and how. If you attempt to use external dns I redirect it, if you attempt to connect to ssh I block it,if you hit port 80, it goes to the proxy,etc.. You have a client and I have the power. If you want to play I'll route you into a hole and wait for you to complain so I can show you the logs. If you get really stupid I'll have your job and a pat on the back. Don't fuck with sysadmins.

... instead of closing it? That aint that useful u know. I can envision many situations when it could make things much worse.
Back in the day when I blindly opened executable file attachments without thinking, (Hey I was a kid, I didn't know about viruses and network security. I thought MS-DOS was an original, fully functioning operating system!!) I used to get lots of those comical programs designed to embarass you while at your desk. You know, the ones that opened up a porn pic of a man playing with himself, that u just couldn't close. Well one such time I received the goatse.cx picture via this method. I went to kill the process. It died. Phew, lucky escape. Little did I realise, that it had spawned a child process. Suddenly I had loads of little windows with scaled down goatse.cx pictures. So I turned off the screen. To my (and the rest of the JAM PACKED computer lab's) horror, a mans voice singing. "GIMME SOME ANAL LOVING" blared over the speakers....
So basically no amount of hand waving will save your job, if your boss looks at a computer screen full of windows containing work relevant source code, while he hears the moans of a hentai anime school girl being pleasured by a giant robot.
Not that I have ever.. er.... seen such... errrr... material like that errr... ever. No really. I haven't.
I hate this forum. It makes me sig as a dog
" It reminds me of old shareware PC games, where you could hit the F9 key to escape to a DOS shell, so you wouln't get caught at work..."
One of the Sierra games (Uhh.. I think it was Leisure Suit Larry 3, but don't quote me on that) had a boss mode that'd throw up a fake spreadsheet and pie-chart. That was cool until you tried to get out of it, only to be met with a message that says "no, you should be working now." Heh you had to quit the game and reload it.
Did you read anything from the site?
Hell no! If I had actually READ the article, there's no way I could've gotten that smartass comment in in time.
Am I the only one who heard Roxette to sing "I'm gonna get blitzed for some sex"?
It is certainly a good thing that they used mouse gestures instead of an emacs interface: C-x C-g C-t C-c ....
