NetTrends: Sex on the office computer? Big Brother is watching

Actually, I might have been a customer for this type of software back when we had a factory. There was a serious concern in the production area about people using computers to surf the net and not paying attention to the production process. Our solution was the big hammer. We completely block all internet access to that specific subnet.

Obviously, being able to allow some, selected access would have been better.

The note about the World Cup reflected our concerns, rather than the sex aspect. It made me think of the old adage about the locks on gym lockers in high school. They weren't there to stop the thief, but to keep the honest man honest.
