Ok I searched a few porn movies to verify whether they have it completely or not. Glad to tell you that it's really the 'Pirate Bay'

View on HN

Hey Adnan, might not be a good idea to tie your porn habbits quite so publicly with all your linkedIn and social media info so clearly visible. Just a heads up from a fellow developer who's done plenty of dumb shit :-)

What is porn?

Otherwise, I gather that everybody has porn habits!

Good thing about that is you can use anyone's username as your own on any site.

Never trust a man who says he doesn't watch porn.

Or woman.

Or alien.

Or cat.

Or me.

I don't

Are you worried that they might be lying, or that they might be asexual?

He's worried they might not be the same as him.

hahaha. That's a joke. In reality Porn is boring. It was fun when I was teen :-)

Update: I did remove it anyway for a while. World is crazy and people these days are not good at jokes :). Who knows some of my potential client or recruiter ask me about latest porn which I can't answer anyway :/

Are you suggesting that there's anything wrong with an adult viewing filmed consensual sex acts between other adults?

There's nothing wrong with it, but that doesn't mean it is smart to broadcast your porn habits to the world.

I didn't see anyone broadcasting their porn habits. OP only mentioned searching for porn; not which kind of porn, or whether he had downloaded it in the past.

I love my HN fellows who love to _hack_ others's comments :)

To downvoter, I was just praising the talent. No sarcasm intended.

There is... when you're supposed to be in prison for the murder of Hae Min Lee!!

recently, people have been fired from their jobs when their political affiliations/donations have been made public

i wouldn't put it past someone somewhere out there in the politically correct machine to fire/not hire someone because they admit that they watch porn

I hope you're not referring to Brendan Eich, because he was not fired: he left Mozilla of his own free will, in spite of the board's request that he stay.

It was his non-apology apology and his stubborn refusal to transparently and honestly explain and justify his actions, which did the most damage to Mozilla and his own reputation.

He decided on his own to leave Mozilla, because he didn't believe he owed anyone an explanation of why he paid to destroy other people's marriages, and that wasn't compatible with leading an organization dedicated to openness and inclusiveness. That's not getting fired.

I think you should be more worried about the politically incorrect right wing religious zealot hate machine firing people for watching porn, not the "politically correct machine" that you wouldn't put it past.

Oh here we go again, please! While Eich resigned there was no way he could have continued at Mozilla and the way you frame your frustrated demand for his explanation, there was no way anything he said short of a complete reversal, abject apology (as if he didn't actually apologize for hurt he caused), and compensation to a pro Marriage Equality cause that would begin to please your grievances. I actually respect him more for quietly departing after the crap that was flung at him, rather than pull a weaselly Obama and "evolve". You means justify the ends types will be very sorry when you're on the losing side of your approach.

Not today. Who knows after the next elections. Didn't Romney say he would support a porn ban? Look what's happening in UK. Certain sex acts "on camera" are being criminalized.

If he was denied a job or fired because he admitted to searching for porn on the internet then he would be applying/working at the wrong kind of place.

People who hold such fear about sex and sexuality need to lighten up. It's just sex, it's just porn. Let's be a little more mature here.

It is not "The Pirate Bay", I searched for Robogeisha and I get "No results found".

Some functionality is missing. E.g. no users, thus no way to see what else that user has uploaded. On PB some uploaders maintained rather interesting personal collections.

They are using ASP Classic and MsAccess so give them a break

Surely they would see significant performance/licensing/sysops gains by moving to something simpler, like PHP + (MySQL or Flatfile)? I would find it amusing if the original TPB was inadvertently paying licensing fees to Microsoft
