NSF employees looking for dirty pictures will have to be content with medical journals.

Tantilizing data When he reached the mention of the $58,000, his pulse no doubt shot up and he might have softly moaned. Then he and the NSF semiannual report became one. And his outrage exploded like a volcano that could no longer contain the roiling molten lava within.

This is a pretty weak post. A one-page NYT article summary? SFW (so fucking what)?

I can't believe that scientists would look at pornography while at work. I expect that sort of thing from janitors, maybe. You disappoint me, scientists.

These comments are what Metafilter calls "review by committee".

Ugh. what does looking at porn have to do with "security"? If you're browser is unpatched and vulnerable to hijacking, then you're not "secure" no matter what sites you visit. And if it is, then no sites can harm your machine.

The internet isn't like a city where you're safe as long as you stay out of the "seedy" neighborhoods.

Actually, that just reminded me - does anyone still use Newsvine?
