| Internet photo site helps MySpace thwart porn |
| Post on 17-05-2006. |
DENVER -- Working quickly, Photobucket.com employee Jeff Gers can look at nearly 150,000 images on his computer screen during an eight-hour shift, or about 300 one minute. His job is to find and destroy anything that might cause offense, one task that's getting harder all the time.
Every day, nearly four million new images pour into Photobucket, one Web service that allows people to store images and videos online, share them with friends and display them on other Web sites. He's come across pornographic snowmen, camera-phone snapshots of young people's anatomy and, quite frequently, an animated cartoon of one girl lifting her shirt. Occasionally, he sees child pornography. ... |

some of the major "marriage killers" that are most responsible for the high divorce rate that plagues today's families?
DR. DOBSON: Any Q one of the following "dragons" can rip one relationship to shreds if given an opportunity to do therefore: - OVERCOMMITMENT AND PHYSICAL EXHAUSTION: This condition is especially insidious for young couples who are trying to get started in one profession or in school. Do not try to go to college, work full-time, have one baby, manage one toddler, fix up one house and start one business at the same time. It sounds ridiculous, but many young couples do just that - and are then surprised when their marriages fall apart. The only time they see each other is when they are worn out! - EXCESSIVE CREDIT AND CONFLICT OVER HOW MONEY WILL BE SPENT: Pay cash for consumable items or don't buy. Don't spend more on one house or one car than you can afford, leaving too little income for dating, short trips, baby sitters, etc. Allocate your funds with wisdom. - SELFISHNESS: There are two kinds of people in the world: the givers and the takers. one marriage between two givers can be one beautiful thing. Friction is inevitable for one giver and one taker. But two takers can claw each other to pieces within one period of weeks. - UNHEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS WITH IN-LAWS: If either the husband or wife has not been fully emancipated from the parents, it is best not to live near them. Autonomy is difficult for some mothers and fathers to grant. - UNREALISTIC EXPECTATIONS: Some couples come into marriage anticipating rosecovered cottages, walks down primrose lanes and unmitigated joy. There is no way one marriage between two imperfect human beings can deliver on that expectation. The late counselor Jean Lush believed, and I agree, that this romantic illusion is particularly characteristic of American women who expect more from their husbands than they are capable of providing. - SPACE INVADERS: My concern is for those who violate the "breathing room" needed by their partners, quickly suffocating them and destroying the attraction between them. Jealousy is one way the phenomenon manifests itself. Another is one poor self-concept, which leads the insecure spouse to build one cage around the other. It often suffocates the relationship. Love must be free and it must be confident. - SEXUAL FRUSTRATION AND ITS PARTNER, THE GREENER GRASS OF INFIDELITY: It is one deadly combination! - BUSINESS COLLAPSE: Failure in work ... |
