Well, if we're honest: pr0n is not the issue here. Most folks have some, many folks don't mind others knowing about it. Infact, not even two months ago, my neighbour consulted me on a copyright infringement claim he received concerning gay fetish porn. How about them apples ...

Besides, we introduced the concept of a wank-drive (ext HD + TrueCrypt) for a reason.

No, the issue in my opinion is browser history + bookmarks. If someone were to sift through all our bookmarks and our recent browser history, someone who doesn't understand the unique character of the internet, some of us would be in the psych ward and on a terrorist watchlist quicker than you can say buttplug. You know what an hour of bash or 4chan does to an "unspoiled" person, imagine what a shitstorm a best-of collection would cause.

That reminds me: back around '01, a friend of mine discovered the magic of rotten.com and ratemypoo.com in my Netscape history ... she didn't talk to me for a month. Good times.

Wow, I haven't thought of rotten.com or ratemypoo.com in years. I keep some stuff that would be embarrassing if someone found, but nothing that needs to be protected with a hidden TrueCrypt volume with AES-Twofish-Serpent encryption. I generally don't let anyone use my computer, especially to browse the internet. In the rare instances where I had to let a family member use my computer, I fired up IE for them. Since I use Firefox, there is nothing in the IE history or bookmarks for them to find.

I always take my nefarious net activities to the 'incognito' window. I'm sure that there's some hole to be exploited, but at least 4chan is not mentioned in my browsing history.
