You are assuming the guy is not a "free software" enthusiast. Net Nanny does not have any version running on any Linux distribution.
Guess what? We run Linux here at home. Only the professional machine have (by force of my job) a Windows 7 installation.
On the other hand, my kid is getting an Android phone, and Net Nanny can be a good solution in this case. Have you access to the block list and white list for inspection? You know, my kid is *MY* kid - I want some control about what he is allowed and don't allowed to see.
If you are trying to do everything by yourself to you children, you will fail even more as a parent.
You know, you have to WORK in order to be able to FEED your kids. Will you lock the little bastards (man, my childhood memories... X-P) in a safe room in the working hours?
You really think that peeping over their shoulders all the time is a good way to raise them?
Kids *needs* some controlled "freedom" in order to acquire the needed abilities to raise the self control mechanism every adult must have. You need to leave them "alone" (please note the quotes) for some time everyday. You need to give them some room to give them the chance test what can and what cannot be done.
(And so, you need to step back and see what happens)
On the other hand, you should not expose them to things they are not ready (or are incapable) to deal.
When you drive the kids to the local park, you stays in their side every second, of you give the kids space in order to allow them to play with other kids - but stays reasonably near in order to interfere if somethings appears to go wrong?
If you are not a Luddite, you must give the kids some time on a computer. And since you probably have some other things to do in your life (as keep the house clean, cook the dinner, help the other kid on the homework, drive the dog to the vet, etc), and stating again that no kid raises mentally healthy being watched all the time (you are aware that the kids must live on their own after your death, aren't you?), so the FA have a valid question: some kind of parental software is needed.
Relying only on this software would be a failure, granted.
Incredible how ideological patrolling is taking place here at Slashdot.
No one can say anything a bit harsh and/or contrary to the political correctness - no matter being true or not - and is gifted by a nice "troll" label.
As a matter of fact, this is becoming something to be proud of.
If by one side I hope Assange gets it (as, in fact, he is being unlawfully persecuted by US government), on the other side it will be a big shame for everybody else that just a half baked democracy on a third-world country (hey, I live on one of these, I know what I'm talking) has the guts to stand up against tiranny.
If people get pissed about nuclear reactors and see building coal plants as a good alternative, I wouldn't care about the time it takes, those people are smoking idiots.
the Brazilian Supreme Court ruled the company must repay royalties collected over the past decade.
What?! The linked article doesn't say anything of the sort!
From the same arcticle:
"On 12 June, the judges of the Brazilian Supreme Court of Justice ruled against Monsanto, deciding unanimously that the ruling by the Justice Tribune of Rio Grande do Sul, once it is made, should apply nationwide. Monsanto has declined to comment on the case."
So, Judges of Rio Grande do Sul ruled out that Monsanto should repay back the last decade royalties. And the Brazilian Supreme Court stated that once this ruling is confirmed, will be valid for the whole country!
So, yes, it says exactly that - but not directly, as any person that is not a fool can see:-)
For every complex problem, there's a solution that is simple. AND WRONG.
Brazil's government is happy on finding simple solutions for taxing. And almost every one of them just hits the honest citizen, because the dishonest ones already came with a (simple!) workaround.
Taxes in Brazil is paid only for the honest citizens - the government just can't reach the dishonest ones.
It part and parcel of the normal invasion of privacy needed to run the system of anal rape known as income tax. Since the US Constitution was amended to enable that many years ago, Congress has the power to write laws to enable it. There isn't much you can do about it except move to someplace that doesn't do that.

It worked for you? :-)

You know, there's a difference...

I'm not aware of many line-of-business shops that need compiler or hardware guys.
So you're not aware of any good line-of-business that people wants to work for.
I had a job on a bank once. 95% of my job was the everyday bread.
But on that other 5%, I managed to introduce a solution for morphological analysis to criticize budgets conformity .
Guess what tasks did the best ROI to my employer?
I think there's a huge gap between the value your skills have, and the *perceived* value of that same skills for the parts involved.
Obviously, your perception of value is biased towards you.
More obviously, your employer's perception is biased against you.
You must overcome your own bias in order to be able to fight theirs.
where I wrote "all it cares if", please read "all it is cared is if".

How many coding judges USA have?
... "the finger effect"? :-)
NVidia is twisting the argument, and you bite it.
I saw the video. All of it.
Linus complained for NVIDIA being a pain in the ass by not providing minimally decent support when *their* closed source drivers crashes the kernel.
Torvalds don't give a shit (literally) if your driver is open or closed sourced - all it cares if that the damned thing works as expected!
Government has powers to put anyone in jail.
Private companies can not hold their employees against their will.
This is hypocrisy too?
That was a good joke. This is why he gets mod up.
And that's the reason I didn't replied to that - I give it a good laugh, and then I did some thinking about.
USA can be a harsh capitalism country, but it's still a Lawful State.
(perhaps too lawful - but this is another argument).
I just can't see a former USA President making public arrangements with people charged with some felony and wanted by the Interpol.

I Fixed that for you. :-)

Nuff said.
Ok, I should not had wrote the last sentence.
But I did not resist the temptation, given the GP signature:
When someone says, "Any fool can see," they're usually exactly right.

(It's a whistler blow about lunch on one Brazil's state school in the country).
No, I'm not.
Please feel free to correct me anytime you think it's needed.
You right.

As Eduardo Saverin did?
