I can't say I've used it for this purpose, but it does seem to support the notion of adult site blocking, and is pretty trivial to configure, even for a non-geek.
One thing I liked about the Ubuntu (5.10) installer was that in case you wanted to dual-boot, it will automatically resize and use free space from your existing Windows partition for your Linux install.
The only thing I found to be a bit of a nuisance with Ubuntu was hunting down all the "non-free" stuff I needed - nvidia-kernel/glx, mp3 stuff, etc. - not a big deal for me, but it might be a bit discouraging for someone completely new to computers.
Which armed conflict the USA have been part of has been settled in the way the US intended, since WW2?
Um.. Iraq? I mean, they brought down Saddam, as intended, and democratic elections have taken place with a huge voter turnout. Why are you disregarding this? Also.. the Kuwaiti conflict?
I seriously hope you're not implying that Kim Jong Il's 'form of government' is 'good for people'. And even if you are saying that, don't you think there's something fundamentally wrong with the fact that North Koreans have absolutely no power in changing the way they are governed? (Additionally, those that even try and establish any form of media to report the human rights violations are promptly executed.) Well, it might be easier to swallow if they had any kind of standard of living, but the majority of them are living in _destitute_ poverty while foreign aid (North Korea recieves the most foreign aid out of any country, worldwide) gets diverted to the military and sold on the black markets.
I see your point - I just don't know that it applies to North Korea and other countries which employ _highly_ suppressive forms of government.
And again.. I'm not sure how you can manage to blame Bush for it, although I know its in style on campus these days.
I understand that you're trying to be "clever", and you're compelled to knee-jerk bush-bashing at the drop of a hat, but do you _honestly_ think the state of democracy in North Korea is at all comparable to that of the United States? Like, come on.
North Korea's "nuclear weapons will remain [a] nuclear deterrent for self-defence under any circumstances," the ministry said. It said that what it considers Washington's attempts to topple the North's regime "compels us to take a measure to bolster its nuclear weapons arsenal in order to protect the ideology, system, freedom and democracy chosen by its people."
...to get more foriegn aid for it's starving populace...
You mean for its Army. Based on the little information that gets out of North Korea, one thing that is clear is that the food and money channeled into the country as foreign aid is NOT going towards its starving populace - Kim Jong Il has redirected these supplies and funds towards the country's military forces, and a significant portion of it ends up on the black market.

How about something like OpenDNS?

Okay... but does it run Linux?
... OpenSSH is dead
Oh my, you really are a bad analogy guy!

Could the author be referring to that "50-Cent" game that's coming out?
Dude, that happens with subsonic planes too. Face it - if something goes wrong up there, you're pretty much screwed, regardless.
.. the 'Oil for Bandwidth' Program, run by Kojo!
Of course you should give it to your boss to read after you finish with it, as it is really in large part to help non-nerds understand nerds.
Except that non-nerds aren't nerdy enough to read books about nerds.
Now, finally, I can have the upper hand in Counter-Strike!
fined != sued
But yeah, the logic is a bit funky.
Oh, spare us the ill-conceived analogies, would you?
I presume they're making money on Java-related training/education..
*I* kinda thought that the whole "care to provide anything more than just general bitching?" thing would be obvious. Apparently not.
I'm looking for specific reasons as to why you hold this opinion.
Is that clear enough for ya?
In the interest of adding value to your comment, care to provide anything more than just general bitching?
Why does this piss you off?
I know you're just kidding, but Half-Life 2 does run on Linux too. :)
I'm still using P2P - God damnit, I missed the upgrade again. Why.. why didn't anybody send me the memo?
Or that bloody clock is too loud!
... are there any screenshots?

This statement makes me want to vomit.

I've always wondered about this. So there's a thermal component to the readers that won't read a cold, dead finger?
