Ever seen anyone browsing pr0n on a public computer?

[Locut0s]

Just caught a guy in our store browsing hard core pr0n in our store. WTF? He was a guy in his mid 60s or so. We don't have filtering software on our computers because customers use them to comparison shop and generally browse the web.

WTF? Where do you work?!

 

[Lifted]

He wanted to see how fast porn would load on a new computer vs. his w/ all the malware on it.

 

[erikistired]

~some~ filtering software is probably a good idea. just saying.

 

[Heller]

why does everyone here call it pr0n, are you so afraid to say the dreaded p word on the forum?

Pornography

Not porn, but I have had a goth guy sitting next to me at a public library looking at pretty involved pictures about vasectomies. I was a bit creeped out by it.

I'd have started chatting, see if you could weird him out before you had to call security.

I work in a university computer lab so yeah pretty common. CP and full on penis out self manipulation isn't super uncommon either. You get kicked out if you get busted for porn and the cops get called for the others.

I would have thought pointing, laughing and posting the picture in the collage bar would do the trick.

Computer retail store, NCIX. Small chain, we specialize in hardware parts, system assemblies and the like.

Dudes masturbating in a university computer lab probably have a pretty high threshold for embarrassment.

 

[Leros]

Back when I was in high school, there was a guy who used to look at porn in the computer lab. It was mostly a game for him to try to get around the filters.

At least in a computer lab there is some form of privacy. It's usually quiet and everyone is looking at their own computer. This is at a busy retail store at an island with lots of other laptops.

Jesus I work in a university computer lab and that fucking doesn't happen here!

Thats because your in the UK, everyone would laugh, point and then post videos on youtube.

There is that, also they would get kicked out of the university....

:\I remember being stark bollock naked on top of our university quite a few times. Never got kicked out, luckily it was before video phones and youtube.

 

[Sluggo]

Yeah, I don't want all the spyware and malware on my computer, so browsing youjizz on a public computer seems a better choice.

I don't have to clean up either mess.:sneaky:

Yeah but if you were sat in one of the rooms having a wank and I spotted you on CCTV you'd be out.

 

[WelshBloke]

I remember shagging someone over the bar after we broke in one night.

We had to run before I'd finished me pint as well

Back when I didn't have the net connection at home, I used to browse for porn at the university computer room. A perk of being a nerd student in a non-nerd faculty is that the admins/tech don't expect you to know your way around computers and so only use minimal security.
The new WinXP network was filtered against porn, torrenting and whatnot, but the old server from when the computers were still running win98SE had somehow been left running, and access to everything was open. Now, WinXP was set to load settings from network, so you couldn't change network settings, and you weren't supposed to run live-CD operating systems - they'd removed the ability to boot from CD to prevent people from doing that. However, they mistakenly left one computer of them all set to boot from floppy first, so I ran a floppy-loading BIOS password cracker, found the BIOS password (same for all computers in the room), and I restored proper boot order on all machines. I would then run Knoppix, connect it to the old server, and surf to my heart's content - porn included, which I'd copy on an external drive and then, um, peruse back home. I could also print for free on the networked printer when everyone else had to pay.

I dunno how long I would have been able to keep doing that had I not gotten net access at home - once or twice I had to kick the reset button in a hurry as the tech came into the room, ostensibly to reload paper in the printer but I suspect he really wanted to check why one of the connections wasn't going where it was supposed to. He probably suspected me, but he must have known he could prove nothing...

I got the net at home right when I was gearing up to install Linux partitions and hidden bootloaders all over the place, turning the whole faculty in a little home away from home...

See this is what happens when you dont allow students to drink.

Hah, we had a similar "problem" at my work, someone, had installed an old server somewhere on campus that was open to all the students, they could share whatever they wanted on it, basically you arrived at the uni found the IP, uploaded all your films, downloaded what you wanted off it, then checked back later to see what else was there. I "didn't notice it" :sneaky: for as long as possible, but my boss found out and we had to shut it down...
