A fire at the University of Twente in the Netherlands has destroyed one of Europe's fastest computer networks, and along with it, ""about the largest stock of hardcore pornography, illegally downloaded CD's, movies and hacked / cracked software (applications and games)." Commented Dutch education minister Loek Hermans on hearing of the loss: "It would be nice if the students at Twente University would use their fast connections for information and education purposes, instead of downloading huge amounts of porn."
