Japanese council worker in 750k smut site pornathon
A Japanese council employee has set what is likely to remain an unbreakable record for surfing porn at work, after visiting an impressive 750,000 smut websites in just nine months at the rate of 20 pages for each minute he was sat at his desk. According to the BBC, the unnamed 57-year-old "works" for the city of Kinokawa in …

Employee of the Month
Impressive accomplishment. He should be awarded employee of the month for such persistence, not demoted. Imagine surfing porn at work until you have gathered enough malware that the system is unusable. Lets hope he also had a huge database of other peoples' financial and personal information on his computer as well, that is now in the hands of the Russian Business Network.

I've done better!
Lol. I once worked for a small company and managed to download about 50.000 porn pages every day. Then again, my Boss approved this too, since I was working on a web spider application that was searching all over the Internet for webpages with certain keywords on their page, and for stress-testing I used words like "porn", "sex" and "Hilary Duff"...

Something Fishy
10,000 grumble pages a day is impossible. Unless the mark is downloading automatically he cannot be looking at so many pages. There is something, most likely something rather large, missing from this story. I think it has been made from the headline rather than the opposite.
If he spends ten hours a day in his office, 10,000 pages is only 3.6 seconds per page. Not long enough to wank to (unless he's accelerated his body like in Star Trek) and quite a number of those pages will take longer than that to appear on his screen.
I wonder what is really going on here. Some trick played on him by a rival worker with some computing skills maybe? Someone in the IT department making a colossal mistake? I wonder how they have calculated this? Did they accidentally include the whole council's records?

"... they didn't notice the increase in downloads from 1 IP address from their server logs before?"
What makes you think that bloke was the only one? He was just the poor sod who caught the virus. And then, they didn't sack him - well, they hardly can fire all staff.
The only thing that puzzles me is it's a Friday's Lester story and there actually _is_ an IT angle.

shurly they should have noticed ..
Shurly they should have noticed by the dried in yogurt stain all over the keyboard. As a former IT repair techie, I speak from a position of authority .. :)
We send out a brand new PC and it comes back in six weeks later with complaints of not fast enough and 30MB of porn in the cache. What's the matter can't the download rate keep up with your left hand .. ???
