Hm. 9 months * 23 workdays * 8 hours per day = 1656 hours for porn clicking. That's ~471 "accesses" every hour, or 7.85 every minute.Clearly they are not counting clicks, but rather HTTP requests and even then it would require constant porn surfing. Oh well, the media needs to get their jollies, right?What I wonder is, how come this person is being "punished" for surfing porn, rather than not doing his job? Or could it be that he was in a monitoring role, and was in fact doing his job?

>>6381I'm sure most people don't care what you do in your own personal time. He was being paid and inappropriately wasting government resources. Bandwith costs money you know.
>>6396Where I'm at, the service costs a fixed amount per month according to contract and transfer is not metered. Perhaps you should join us in the 21st century.
>>6397There's a twenty FIRST century now?
I think this guy worked overtime, like so many other Japanese. I suspect the number is actually how many files he accessed, even the stuff that only ended up in the cache. Pictures, pages, flash ads and all that crap. Maybe something was lost in translation.
>>6406Perhaps the more likely explanation is that it was lost between the reporter's ears. From what I hear about Japanese media, I'm not convinced they have yellow papers at all.
