It's $24/year for up to 2 kids, and is pretty customizable.
From their site:
Messages we block may be easily released for delivery upon parental review and approval.
"Lock-Down" mode (most appropriate for very young children) is an option which will only allow email delivery from senders who have first received parental approval.
Parental oversight may be enhanced by enabling "Parental Review" which saves copies of all email delivered to your children's OnlyMyEmail addresses.
Our "Kids Carbon Copy" feature will send parents copies of all outbound messages sent from a child's OnlyMyEmail account.
Perhaps I'm just seeing conspiracy where there isn't one.
Isn't this a step in the wrong direction, like IBM is offering up it's patents to get the Opensource community to accept them. I think the biggest threat against software patents would be the open source community. If we start accepting the system, working within the system, I can only see this playing into the patent holders hands.
I do light auto repair on the side, mostly for friends and family. Maybe a car every month and a half or so. It takes a lot of the same problem solving skills, and hell it's mechanical stuff mostly so you can see the problem.
In Michigan we have no fault auto insurance, so each parties insurance covers their respective vehicle.
It costs more, but may prevent some of the legal barriers.
I'm sorry, I misssed the "Slashdot: Tivo FUD for nerds. Biased idiots that think they matter." heading.
Seriously what the hell is up with the constant stream of "Tivo's gonna die, they are evil and are going to kill your babies" posts here.
Honestly I've been a tivo owner for years, they have it figured out, there is No other DVR UI that I have used that is so simple and intuitive. Targeted ads, like the ones currently available in the tivo menu are A-OK with me.
I'd rather have a banner ad for Porsche, Computer hardware, or the latest Sci-fi movie than site through another Kotex commercial.
I recently had a hardwood floor installed. The underlayment used was kodak photo paper. Turns out they have surplus, and rather than take a total loss they sell it as underlayment. I now have 700 sq/ft of Kodak paper sandwiched in my floor.
He estimates the price will be somewhere between $200-$800.
That seemed kinda high to me for the enthusiast market, then I realized that I've spent in that neighborhood repeatedly for Graphics cards. Of course this applicaton requires a higher end card I suppose, hmm.
You've obviously never worked a helpdesk:) Do that for any lenght of time and you will begin to tink that there are WAY to many stupid people out there. Unfortunatly you never talk to the ones that don't need help.
"Security is really an industry-wide problem. Just this morning I had to install an update to Firefox to block a flaw that would've allowed an attacker to run a program on my system."
That would probably be the shell:// vulnerability, which if I recall the Mozilla dev's removed the functionality because windows handeled the call in an insecure way. BTW to the best of my kwowledge IE still accepts shell:// URLs.
"I'd also like to point out that regulating all broadband providers to offer 512/128 service at $30 would create a ton of very profitable high speed options at the same price we pay now for that speed."
That's a joke right? As I CLEC I know 1st hand what the costs are involved with delivering DSL. $30 for 512/128 might work for the ILECS, but we're charged $28/mo per copper loop to deliver DSL, now that the FCC has taken Line-sharing out of our hands the telso's won't provide it (because the no longet have to). Think about it all but $2 of your proposed price point just cover loop charges. $2/mo isn't a lot of money to cover bandwith/staff/co-location facilities. Now before the FCC stepped in and diluted the 1996 telco act we could get loops for ~$9/mo and lineshare at $0/mo and would have been happy to provide DSL at damn near dial-up prices, instead we're locked into 256/1500 @ $40/mo with slim margins (dial-up is more profitable at $15/mo) The only way we can increase margins now is to bundle it with our local phone service. Too bad we just got a letter from the ILEC saying that they will no longer allow that practice in 6 months, we can however resell their service for a (substansially) higher cost.
Bottom line, if you're not Verizon,SBC, other ILECs, the FCC has made it so you can't play ball only 8 years after making it look like you could.
When you can use something like this. Write the whole thing in C (not quite standard) or buy the realtime OS for it. Then you'd have only what you need and no other stuff that is a possible exploit.
Slashdot Mirror
I spent 2 days earlier this week dealing with another DOJ project. Kind of humorous after the fact.

Those features can be toggled as you see fit.
Yeah, unless said company is an ISP, then IT makes the product, everybody else just serves a business function.

then go into the prefs and turn the sounds off. PArent should be modded troll. No geek tivo owner would have missed this in the prefs.

Correct, I should have specified they = Microsoft.
And I'm STILL trying to get them to stop billing me. On the bright side at least they aren't double billing me anymore!

I'm like the terminator, but not a robot, and I don't kill people, I keep the routers running.
