I did :
foldoc, gcide, wikipedia, and the merriam-webster on my shelf all include
some form of 'with the goal of sexual arousal' in their definition of
pornography.
Given that the (primary at the very least) goal of these pictures is to give
an indication of the CPU-load they are arguably not pornographic (and IMO
if the goal _was_ sexual arousal they fail horribly)
Of course opinions of what is pr0n and what is not differ wildly, there was
a case in America a while back where a parent was convicted as a pedofile
for taking a picture of his 3-year old playing with a sausage at the
kitchen table, apperently the sausage was a phallic symbole which made the
whole thing porn, and another where the picture was of a baby breastfeeding
(hm I'm hungry, I guess that shows, me is off to eat)

2. Plain-text mail recommended since I move html and double
format mails to a low priority folder (they're mainly spam)
