You need to actually pass the paginated page ('thin_client') to your
template and iterate over that. You are still iterating over the
unpaginated 'results', so unsurprisingly you don't see the pagination.
See the view example in the docs:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/topics/pagination/#using-paginator-in-a-view
