Shit. the link won't post properly. I will just quote extensively from another article:
The nine municipal employees being fired by District of Columbia officials for using their work computers to visit an "egregious" number of pornographic Web sites each clicked on at least 20,000 porn images last year, according to the D.C. government's top IT executive.
One individual clicked on 48,001 images, said Vivek Kundra, Washington's chief technology officer. The figures cited by Kundra in an interview today were based on an analysis of Web usage records captured by content-filtering tools that had been installed on some of the city's PCs.
"“If you calculate roughly 200 working days in a year, and you divide that out, it means they were hitting these images at least 95 to 100 times per day," Kundra said. "It was extremely disappointing to see public servants spending a significant amount of their time on these pornographic sites, rather than on serving the people of the district."
I'm so glad the Post followed up on the porn side instead PC World's dumb choice of "what software did the government use to track traffic?" side.
Also: damn.
