Quote: "I would advise all parents to refuse this request. One of the reasons your son is interested in switching providers is to get away from AOL's child safety filter. This filter is vital to any parent who wants his son to enjoy the internet without the endangering him through exposure to "adult" content. "
Yes, because getting around this by ya know using FireFox and/or Internet Explorer obviously is a true sign he is hacking the system.
Don't let the whole AOL Dynamics IP thing fool you either, I mean that just means your easier to trace.
Quote: "Popular hacker software includes "Comet Cursor", "Bonzi Buddy" and "Flash"."
Yes, I'm surprised that Macromedia Corporation hasn't been shutdown already for illegal practises... must be the fact thier head office is in the off-shore remote island of San Francisco! Damn them, damn them to hell!
Quote: "Computer hackers are often limited by conventional computer hardware. They may request "faster" video cards, and larger hard drives, or even more memory."
This is very true, we all know that the most popular hacking program currently available dubbed 'Doom 3' happens to require substancial memory, space, and hardware requirements just to run.
Though to be fair id Software and ESRB have certificated it 18/AO which should make sure that only people legally old enough can hack using it.
Makes me feel safe at night.
Quote: "If your son has requested a new "processor" from a company called "AMD", this is genuine cause for alarm. AMD is a third-world based company who make inferior, "knock-off" copies of American processor chips. They use child labor extensively in their third world sweatshops, and they deliberately disable the security features that American processor makers, such as Intel, use to prevent hacking."
Yes, this is true... the American Micro-Device Corporation is possibly one of the most popular 3rd world anti-American processors to date. It is again shocking to know that they also began and operate out of the same off-shore island as Macromedia. Why America keeps trading with San Francisco and thier illegal trade market is beyond me!
Quote: "AMD chips are never sold in stores, and you will most likely be told that you have to order them from internet sites."
It is shocking how these internet sites can get away with retailing these processors; not available in your local CompUSA or PC World store right next to the Intel Processors!
Quote: "Any father who has had a seventeen year old daughter attempt to sneak out on a date wearing make up and perfume is well aware of the effect that improper influences can have on inexperienced minds."
Such actions are aborant to the very core of the soul. Such girls who do this should be flogged in the local town square as is the custom. Beat the devil right out of her vixen little black heart!
Quote: "If your son spends more than thirty minutes each day on the computer, he may be using it to DOS other peoples sites. DOSing involves gaining access to the "command prompt" on other people's machines, and using it to tie up vital internet services. This can take up to eight hours."
Worrying to see a child trying to use the Disk Operating System, in order to gain untoward access to other peoples computers. Luckily the time it takes does make it very obvious.
In particular people should keep note of them trying to use the commands.
Format.exe, Scandisk.exe and DIR
As these are commonly used Hacker tools that are shockingly distributed with the computer itself!
Quote: "Quake is an online virtual reality used by hackers. It is a popular meeting place and training ground, where they discuss hacking and train in the use of various firearms. Many hackers develop anti-social tendencies due to the use of this virtual world, and it may cause erratic behaviour at home and at school.[quote]
Yes, a grave worry. Doom 3 is the latest variation of this program, and is by far one of the most profoundly influencial on your children. Any parents worried really should make a point to boycott all software of this nature.
[quote]Even when confronted, your son will probably find it difficult to talk about this problem to you. He will probably claim that there is no problem, and that you are imagining things. He may tell you that it is you who has the problem, and you should "back off" and "stop smothering him." Do not allow yourself to be deceived. You are the only chance your son has, even if he doesn't understand the situation he is in. Keep trying to get through to him, no matter how much he retreats into himself."
Yes this is strange how children always say this when your invading thier privacy. It becomes very bad during the teenage years!
We should all be very aware this might be the case, but keeping a firm hand and making sure nothing they ever do is private will help. When they're old enough to understand what you did they will thank you for it.
[heh, alright the Linux section and beyond just far to much to comment on. 'Lunix' HAHAA omg.. best damn read.
