@ 21: WTF?

Also, if not for the porn, why else would you go to a library?

Uhm. Hi @20. This guy was on his own laptop, like I said initially. No screen protector, the divider is only about a foot high (I'm at least a head taller than them), and those stations put you pretty much elbow to elbow with the person next to you.

Callie, who are you dating? I have had NO luck finding the relevant thread in the archives, and I need to settle a bet.

Oh my god, people...please, oh please get a grip. Who fucking cares if someone is watching porn at the Library. Have you been to the Seattle Library? There are screen protectors on the monitors, and you have to literally scoot in real close to be able to see what your neighbor is looking at.

@18: You should bid on the Slog Calendar in Strangercrombie. Callie is in it, and she is indeed hot.

Uh... does "Hot Tipper Callie" mean that the tip is hot? Or that Callie is hot? And if it means that hot tipper Callie is actually hot, then I agree with 4. Pix!

I suppose it depends on the library, but at my old university staff were told that they actually could not stop someone from watching porn even if someone else did complain. They could be watching it for academic purposes. Seriously, there's a film class on porn.

Very occasionally people did get kicked out for actually masturbating to the porn.

I used to go to the Central Library a few years ago on a regular basis. There was always someone watching porn. They were usually older, disheveled men.

If it wasn't for pr0n u guys would never have even had the Internet and it would have remained as something for geeks and researchers to use ...

That said, the same holds true for videos and their widescale adoption as well.

I swear--and others have confirmed this--that 33% of the computer users in the Harold Washington branch in Chicago are looking at porn, and another 33% are playing online poker, or something similar. It's pretty unnerving, especially when you're there to send out resumes.

Ask the library staff to boot him. The actual guidelines for the staff say they can't stop someone from looking at porn unless they get a complaint. Seriously, librarians take freedom of access to information very seriously, so even if the guy is watching some triple-penetration schoolgirl gitnering action, they won't do a thing until a member of the public asks them to.
