I would guess that at any major company, you would have 33 employees over a five-year period who have viewed "sexually suggestive" images at one time or another at work. This could be an instance of going to a site that has a picture of a woman in a bikini. That's not even counting google searches that stumble across an inappropriate site.
Yes, but some downloaded so much porn they filled-up their hard drives!

One guy filled up his harddrive so he used CD's and stored his extensive collection in his office. And let's not forget the chief justice of the 9th circuit court of appeals hosting his own porn site, now taken down. Read it in the Washington Post today.

Somebody at the SEC definitely gave new meaning to the term "stimulus package".

Suitguy is not bitter.

feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

The Kozinski matter was different. He had sexually explicit images on a private Web site. He did not realize that the Web site was configured to permit public access (if you happened to know the name of the right subdirectory). When he learned that it was, he terminated public access. As far as I'm concerned, that's just a matter of information that the man had a right to keep private unfortunately becoming public.

One guy in my department won't open his spam summary because of the horrible stuff that lands there. He misses announcements that are mass E-mailed to all employees from time to time but insists that if IT really wanted to, they have the technology to prevent that from happening, and he wouldn't miss the announcements.

So far, there's no order to open your spam filter and check for non-spam, probably because it doesn't happen to everybody. Very strange.

SEC staffers watching porn... that would explain why those Replay Officials kept missing the obvious mis-calls by the referees in some of those SEC football games last fall.

What? Wrong SEC??!?!?!?
