A question for techies
 

Say, hypothetically, you're at work, and you download a messenger program (MSN or Yahoo, hypothetically). Say your computer at work is on a network. Can other people somehow find out that you're using this program?

Probably.


[Well, that exhasted my technical knowledge]

if an admin has a packet sniffer installed they can.

Sniff, Sniff. WOW, that was some good shit.

Thank you Glice. Words cannot express my profound sense of enlightenment.

I should expect as much from someone whose lexicon revolves around 'cock.'

Uh oh. What is that, and how do I know if they've got one? Can they read individual messages?

Sadly 'twas always so - my grandiloquence blighted and my prolixiferous rampages, sleighted, by this malignant, festering impropriety named 'cock'.

Actually, I find such a lewd, guttural, debauched idiomatic aberration quite a turn-on.

does that explain yr hover?

Niiiiice.



Sorry, I couldn't resist.

You love the cock?

it's underused--much like, "glory-hole."

Do you really need me to answer that?

Housewife porn has those terms cornered. I rather like "pleasure canyon."

hah hah very funny thread
sorry to bring back the geekness
without packet sniffers your network admin can just see what port numbers you're using. certain ports are associated w/ certain messanger programs-- yahoo for example uses tcp ports 5000 and 5001 (thanks google). your admin could have already blocked those if this was an important issue.

but if not-- you can claim you're using yahoo for "research" or to "contact a source" or whatever bullshit you choose. last month i was working in a school district's office and i had yahoo, i logged to the board & read all kinds of crapola, including a picture of tubgirl, etc (someone put tubgirl on a thread).

curiously tough, they limited the amount of streaming media you could watch during certain hours. so if i was reading the paper & there was a video it wouldn't play.

etc.

I'm not sure it's an issue, really - I'm sort of a one-person office, so it's not as though they have epidemics of internet abuse to correct. It would just be nice to know the risk factor, just in case.

near zero.

Good to know, I'm in the middle of a particurly heated cyber session. I'd hate to break my rhythm.

oh, one thing you need to do is make sure the yahoo is not archiving your messages, else there will be a written record of your online sexual exploits

--
oh, and-- can i watch? :D

You mean, that's not you that I'm talking to?

i plead the fifth

back to the original question, yes they could tell that you are on it but they wouldnt be able to see what you are saying. that last part may not be true. i have often though about it at work, but was caught out before.

I should've figured that out when they asked if I wanted to touch their joy jugs.

joy jugs?

then it definitely wasn't me-- must be one of my trolls

...

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!

Ooh, I like trolls, they're horny.

See what I did there? Eh? Eh?

i'm pretty sure that a glory hole is an entirely different thing to a pleasure canyon. i won't go into detail, but a glory hole is found in a public toilet, and a google image search should answer any further questions you have. however they are similar in the respect that they are both a type of hole that a erect, man's cock, is placed into.

I concur with Messr & Bowels - a glory hole is a term more common to Thai sex-tourism than it is to slushy women's novels.

there was once a shop in leeds called thr glory hole.

they are also found in adult shops.

Shit. I failed to notice T & B saying cock. Hehe. Cock.

I see.

I feel rather anatomically cheated. Someone should come up with an apparatus to suit us ladies. We already get shafted when it comes to pissing in the woods.

Shafted...heh.

getting shafted while pissing in the woods... that's a kink and a half.



damn your edit stealing my thunder!

To think, I almost didn't open this thread.

I didn't edit that. I merely felt the need to point out the pun, in case it had been lost on the mentally less fortunate.

You can reasonably assume that any thread that I start will be of the highest intellectual calibre, and entertaining to boot. Because I'm just that good.

hah, i bet a lot of philosophers enjoy golden showers

Just because you enjoy golden showers, that doesn't make you a philosopher.
I think of you more as a preeverted windbag.

I bet they do.

I, however, am not a philosopher.

I am a deity.

yeah, i say the same thing to the spiders in my house. i'm sure they worship me...

I find your lack of modesty strangely unabrasive.
Your use of the English spelling of "calibre" while sitting in Chicago, however, is unforgiveable.

I know you are referring to !@#$%!, and not me. Because that would just be absurd.

This should probably go in the quote thread, but I love Savage Clone simply (but not only) on the basis of his use of "preevert." A kindred soul.
