I would first like to say that this may come off a bit strong, but i have had sad personal experiences with family members and internet to real life situations that did not end for the best. I Personally think that you should at first run the internet in your house like some sort of prison camp. You Whitelist the sites, if your kid wants to go to it, you see it first. YOu Limit anything Multiuser, Chat, online Gaming, etc, etc. And anything that might be even SLIGHTLY wrong you kill immidiatly. You make damn good sure that you know everything they do. Key Loggers and Higher end Packetsniffer type deals, and maybe even 2 child protection things (Like Cyber Patrol AND NetSitter both on at once). If one misses something the other should pick it up. You from there gain trust in your child and SLOWLY open up. Don't stop for a minute spying on them and knowing their every move, but allow them to do more things without also holding your hand. When they are gone, check your logs/reports/whatever and if even one thing seems wrong you confront immidiatly. I would still even say ban chat and Multiplayer games, less you can add limits to them. I Have seen very disturbing things happen in In-Game chat in FPSes. Char rooms are no better. don't trust your child online for one minute, no matter how well you think of them on it. Eventually, you will know that it is safe for them, and that they understand the rules. It might take a LONG time, but it is worth it. Never stop spying though, they might be doing something wrong and not know it.
The coincidence of this article is AMAZING. I was just at the local Computer show and sale they hold here in pittburgh once a month today with 3 friends. We were going around looking at stuff when we found a guy selling these things for $6 a pop, $10 for 2, with 2 left. We both put in $5 bucks and got ourselves 2 at the discount price. We just felt like getting some peice of junk to play around with a bit. We put them on at the show and started running around with them scaring the hell out of people. Came back to my place soon after and plugged one in. Turned on some Techno and threw the thing up to max, almost killed my friend wearing it. Also tried it with HL though. The Ambience Kills it alot so you want to keep the filter kinda low, else you have this constant Vibration (Could be concidered relazing to some). You want to keep the filter down a good bit. I don't know about quake though. Only have 1 & 2, didn't try them yet, and not interested in 3. You can also somewhat feel the fireing, to a degree, but it's not that great. Also, a friend of mine is gonna hook his into his guitar, that should be interesting (Internal hemeroging should be fun). Otherwise, a great item of ammusment for $5.
So what if they did? How is anyone going to really Prove it? They arn't going to let anyone look at their source code for their products. If the courts order it, and it is found to be true, Could MS be forced to open source what ever it is they used the code in? Can they deny the courts access to their code?
Can you plz give a link with more info as to what they did btw?
