Kids dig on porn because it's FORBIDDEN. It's EVIL. It's DARK and the parents really hate it, and that's part of the attraction.
It's easy to whack off to dirty secret porn. It's a lot more difficult to wank it to juggycheerleaders.com when you know your dad's watching the logs. Sorry to be so coarse, but that's the way it is. Think like a child and work from that mindset.
Believe me, from an admin that processes incoming spamcop reports, we just can't get enough of the hateful vitriolic email sent to us just because some customer of ours got picked to be the return address for a spam crusade. It's sheer joy.
p.s. i estimate the number of legit complaints vs bs complaints at least less than 15%
I respect the job that Spamcop has taken on, but they are overly zealous and almost fanatical in their 'reporting', which is more like "randomly blacklisting people who were ever mentioned in a spam email until they prove their shit's straight". and no, i don't work for a spamhaus, we're a perfectly boring regional ISP.
as a manager, i must say that my company filters stuff for a reason. all of you slashdotters 'helpfully' suggesting that he circumvent his company's firewall are quite possibly writing this poor guy a pink slip. he'd be getting one from me if he was my employee and we found out - that is abuse of company resources. Respect your employer a bit, for god's sakes. surf on your own time.

Note that NMO's come in much more than thru-hole setups; you can get anything from a mag-mount NMO base, to a clamp-style trunk lid mount (my favorite), etc.
If you're under 15, as 100% of the Class Of 2008 undoubtedly is, you'll probably not remember it as "that track from the 80's."
Just a thought. Sometimes we forget that there's generally 10 years of difference between the average Slashpundit's age and the target age of something like GTA.
And what happens when websites sue you for denying them income because you blocked their popups?
I frequent several sites, arstechnica.com would be the most prominent, which ask that you do not block ads or popups, as they are the revenue stream, no matter what personal views you may have on advertising the net.
1: Block popup ads 2: Revenue per popup goes down 3: Popup prices go down 4: More people buy popups for advertising 5: More popups! You Lose!
And I suggest that all of you who will inevitably reply saying "ITS MY COMPUTER I DECIDE WHAT GOES ON IT AND WHAT STAYS", realize that the webmasters of the sites you frequent don't put banners and popups on their sites to annoy you - they do it because running sites costs money. Dilute advertising by blocking it, and it's worth less. Then, everybody can buy MORE than they could in the first place, and you have twice as many popups otherwise.
If these options don't suit you, there's an alternative network you can restrain your activities to. Something about a 192.168 subnet springs to mind.
They didn't let a porn URL slip into a game, you morons.
Some slimebag bought a URL in the game.
How about some truth in journalism? Your title implicates the software company as liable for sullying their perfect wonderful game with something evil like porn. They didn't have a fucking thing to do with it.

I agree. All of my friends say "I'm gonna get a DSL line and then start hosting websites for all my friends.
Then they bitch because:
They only get 128k of bandwidth, and their friends want mp3's, videos and other stuff hosted. You'll never be able to upload a file again.
They want l33t email addresses, tons of them, and want to be able to send mail through them.
They want a webmail interface, and you're stuck running some bullshit like squirrelmail.
They bitch up a storm when you gotta reboot it.
Just don't. If you're competent enough to run a decent hosting service out of your house, you should easily be able to drum up enough business to pay for a colo box, at the bare minimum.
According to the men who designed and built the WTC, they simulated (on paper) a plane hit.
What they didn't plan for was the fire. The wtc was a very 'fine-boned' structure, having a lattice of thin steel girders around the outside walls instead of the traditional huge pillars - so they could sell large chunks of floor space at a time. They just didn't think about the fact that the plane might be filled with gas.
I used to think that 'they're all just guys playing female toons' till my guild started using Teamspeak, a voice chat program not unlike Roger Wilco. Wow, they really are females! Of course, a couple guildies were male, playing female toons, but they played male ones too - and it's not like they did flirty emotes and chat all day long. Just played a different player model.
neither stereotype is correct - some female chars are played by guys, but not all.
Actually, SSH with the no-encryption option is very widely used on low-bandwidth TCP/IP links over packet, as the header compression helps a lot. Still used today.
This statement perplexes me. How can you equate overheating N64's, asinine controllers, stupid battery backups in your stupid carts, etc. good hardware?
Nintendo admitted that they fuck stuff up on purpose with the Advance SP. WHY did you remove the ordinary, industry-standard, easy to use 1/8" headphone connector, Nintendo? Oh yeah. So you could trick us into buying "the perfect game boy" and then rip us for $15 for your stupid fucking cable.
Because the best way to fix virus infections is to email the poor guy assigned to abuse email a condescending two-page screed about how his boss's boss's boss's choice of antivirus software is fucktarded!

Sorts sperm fast and cheap. Has tendency to overheat and make little sperm omelets.
Intel:
Overpriced for the performance, but every American trusts Intel to sort their sperm. Only sorts one at a time, but does it really frequently; i believe the term is "HyperJizzing"
Amiga:
Sorts them slowly, the most incompatible, but goddamn if it doesn't do it with style.
Atari:
Ancient sperm-sorting technology. People use this when they want to relive the 80's while they sort their sperm.
