now that i'm older, employed, and independent, i respect parents who spy even less...it often means they haven't been able to effectively influence their kids (i.e., dont trust their own parenting) and are overcompensating to remedy that reality by spying.
So setting a limit or filter on something your child might have access to makes you a bad parent?
I'm beginning to wonder if any of you saying crap like this have ever been around kids . . .
It doesn't have anything to do with not being able to influence them at all . . . . we were kids once too. We know how things go. Boundaries are explained to kids, but they'll sometimes still bump up against them or completely step over them. If a parent can implement something to prevent them being stepped over and doesn't do it I think many will eventually wish that they would have.
Hate to break it to you but a parents job involves knowing what their kids are up to. Any good parent will tell you that. If you think however a parent accomplishes this is spying then I guess it sucks for you . . . don't do something you'd be ashamed your parents of finding out about.
I'll "spy" on my kids until their of age to take care of themselves . . . .
Not if your parents aren't imbeciles. As I said, if the child is at least somewhat intelligent, say goodbye to any respect they had for you thanks to your meaningless paranoia.
Please explain how anything that was posted implies a parent is an imbecile for being concerned about, and filtering what their kids can and cannot see online, on the TV or in any situation you can think of?
Meaningless paranoia? Really? At what age should a child be able to decide for themselves what they are capable of handling?
You are correct, folks shouldn't be storing sensitive data on a portable device of any kind. Our laptops are required to be encrypted using a FIPS 140-2 certified product to prevent loss of any information because not everyone follows the "don't store sensitive data on your laptop" policy.
With our blackberries we have access to our intranet, I guess the remote wipe feature would be helpful if someone happened to crack a password in less than 6 attempts and gain access to our intranet and possibly other internal systems/data.
There are many of us who feel the same way and choose to drive rather than fly these days . . . reading that TSA blog posted above is some of the best propaganda around.
Wow. Sounds like Netflix should've just stuck with DVD rentals . . . and then created a separate streaming brand in the first place. Would that have even helped?
Most Christians do not realize Jesus was pretty cool to the people of different faith than him, allowing them their own beliefs so long as they didn't bother the people of his faith.
Care to provide an example of how Jesus was "pretty cool" in this way?
That might be the case where vehicles are equipped with remote start, but what about those with the push button start? Once you get them started do you need the fob to actually put it in gear?
I'm a Verizon customer and don't remember ever getting anything saying the change was coming . . . are you saying that once they send something to me about the rate change I can legally get out of my contract without paying the ETF if I cancel within 30 days of receiving the notice?
Interesting . . .
You act like the Muslims took no aggressive action during that time . . . they were just as interested as the next group in spreading their ideals by force.

How is it not spying?

If it was legal who would care? Who would know it was pirated?
You honestly think Best Buy would sell pirated content in they could get away with it?
Most people look at life, pick out the bits they like, and then hate on anyone who disagrees with the parts they like.

Rose, I know this is a long shot, but did you take much acid during the sixties?
Wouldn't you consider anything that may take more time for an issue to get resolved as about as close to stonewalling as you can get?

Wow.
I'd rather sit through 2 minutes of advertisements than 5 or 6 minutes . . . but I agree, if I'm paying for Hulu+ I should have NO advertisements.
Can't you remedy much of your content limitation issues by using a Roku?
Wow. Sounds like Netflix should've just stuck with DVD rentals . . . and then created a separate streaming brand in the first place. Would that have even helped?
Exactly . . . why would anyone infer that we're not supposed to use our God-given abilities to improve our lives?

Is there a rootkit out there for this problem yet?
I'm beginning to wonder if any of you have ever driven a car . . . .
You car is bigger and does more damage . . . you should be taxed more . . .
You drive faster and more dangerously than I do . . . you should be taxed more . . .
Pretty soon we're going to be paying taxes ON our taxes.

Peckerwood (or simply Wood) is a racial slur 19th century southern African Americans used to describe poor whites. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peckerwood
Just think of all the advertising income the terrorists are making off of their bit torrent servers . . .
That's a bit like complaining that if you live in Antarctica it's a bit cold at night. Either accept your situation or move.
Really?
Rural homes have both electricity and telephone service. Why would including broadband be such a huge issue?
But a government "for the people" should have an office filled with people who work "for the people", instead of for corporate interests.
There was once a line between Government and Corporation. This line is so blurry now in certain countries, that I think we crossed it a while back.
I think that line got completely erased about the time the Feds starting bailing out corporations . . .
