I've instituted the use of Adium in my group here to allow us to see when we're at our desks and otherwise available (I became addicted to Communicator, the M$ product while at Microsoft). Very useful to merge all the IM accounts into one tool.
All of a sudden this afternoon I got an IM from someone I didn't know (luv2fukyu2000). They asked "are you there?". So, whimsically, I said "No" and closed the connection.
Up it popped again, asking a/s/l (age, sex, location)? So, rapidly tiring of this game, I answered (12/m/USA). To which the rapid response was "So long."
Pretty darn funny really. Now p0rn is becoming much more aggressive, even coming into a work environment when you don't solicit it.
I wonder if the "providers" (or is that pimps) are hiring college students to do the work? Probably if they are based in the US. It beggars the imagination to think of some pimply-faced geek typing porn 100/words a minute to unsuspecting consumers.
