Depends on the family. Mine doesn't even lock the porno channels on the TV AFAICR. There's nudity in quite a lot of the adverts on some channels, too. We watch who's controlling the TV sets, as far as possible. Is it a bug in our TV sets that porno isn't autolocked? Just the same as with the TV setup, you should check your debian setup carefully if you are worried by such things, or use a "child-safe" config which shares your view. Main debian should not be moral in this way, but it can be customised to be so and I believe there are projects working on sharing those configs. "Won't somebody please think of the children?" is a poor rally-cry for your suggested debian boycott campaign. debian-jr is a place who thinks of the children. Have you checked their setup on this? That could be more persuasive if they're releasing in step.

Do you think I never have to open email or what? Well, I could never install a screensaver either. (Actually, I don't. I switch my monitor off. I last used a psychadelic screensaver a few workplaces ago as a distraction to make cow-orkers pause after 2 minutes so I could get a word in edgeways.) > screensavers get activated while you are not there, and out of your control, > and can represent potential damage to innocent bistander. To be honest, I think there are worse sources of damage than porno. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
