Wouldn't it be nice if ISPs clued in and used some sort of intrusion detection software on their internet links? It's not that hard to install snort on a linux box and have it just watch for nasty things to roam by... and then cut the lusers off when they do something wrong;)
Glad I run the computer systems at a university library instead of a public one. Open instutions make life soooo much easier to administer the public terminals... Our rules are simple... no email (keeps people from sitting at a desk all day and hogging a machine)... no chats (irc, icq, etc etc). Just as long as you aren't bothering other users, porn is allowed. (It could possible be for a course or legitimate research)
Then again I can really tell when the local high schools have the day off...a netstat -M shows quite a few interesting web sites...never figured out the people who browse pokemon pages and pr0n at the same time...then again who am I to ask. *laugh*
