All right, I know it's company laptop, and I don't keep personal stuff on it, but dammit I need to have my pron! 'cause it's so ronery on the road.

However, I really do not want a suggestion from Firefox drop down in front of the customer when they are typing some site in the bar. Or 'I effed you and yo mama' showing up in the list of the recent documents, or just god knows what happening during the presentation.

The simplest way of dealing with this would be... carrying another personal laptop with me. But since I am already carrying a company laptop and a full backpack of photo equipment, weight becomes an issue.

What is the easiest way of keeping work and pr0n separated by a fail-safe Berlin wall? Something that I could never forget to clean up, leave in cache, something that no pr0n could sneak through.

Methinks two profiles would probably do it.

Yep, either portable firefox or a Live Linux CD w/ a GUI such as Knoppix.

Thumb drive with linux on it, without ntfs support so it can't even access your windows partitions.

You could also use a Knoppix LiveCD as long as your network stuff is well supported in Linux. When you reboot, no trace of the session is left.

Surfing porn on a company computer is downright stupid.

You happy now, Gothgar?

IE has a wonder way to set history to 0 days, which should keep others from getting suggestions, or finding anything in the address bar

Thumb drive, FTW

Ok, either a separate profile or thumbdrive seems to be the best solution.
Thanks, guys!

you'd have to be one stupid mother fucker to view porn on your work computer.

Worst idea EVER.

I wouldn't do it on any company computer. My former company had software installed that monitored what you typed and what you were viewing. GL with that.

Create another user just for browsing.

Browse.

Delete user.


Should take just seconds to create and delete a user. You should verify that any questionable files are really deleted, if necessary.
