Perhaps we should put up our own protest web sites with one or two explicit sexual images as real civil disobedience?
I have added a pornographic image to my web site as an act of real civil disobedience. I urge others to do the same.

Yawn. I'd would not call it pornographic. Indecent (legalise), yeah. Porn? No. Don't make the same erroneous distinctions that the pro-CDA folx make...

It would take much longer to process the image without dithering of some sort. Displaying jpegs in high quality is CPU intensive.

Check your screen resolution, and make sure it is displaying 256 colors or more. If it's set to 16 colors, it *will* look like crap.
