Same here, but if it sets the nanny off they don't really care if they can identify it...

hopefully the nanny isn't smart enough to detect the potentially n*ughty bits of text in the URL then.

*Usually*, the nannies I've dealt with work off of URLs submitted, not a full-text search of the pages loaded.

There are some out there that are that paranoid, but rarely used because of the fearsome processing overhead required.

True story: a friend of mine was once tasked with implementing a nanny product that operated by analyzing the color content of JPG images -- if it saw too many flesh tones, it locked down your browser. (No, I'm not making this up. There are lots of products that do this. This one was called EyeGuard, but some Googling suggests that product is dead.)

Problem was, the home page of the company that wanted this implemented (a bank) used a color scheme that set off the software. So employees couldn't go to their own company's web site without their internet access being shut off (and termination proceedings initiated, as far as anyone knew).

So my friend had to spend hours (billable, natch) surfing porn sites while fine-tuning the filter's algorithm. The bank finally chucked the software after a flood of complaints about false positives.
