porn and filtering

[Kc0bfv]

Well, Benjamin, this kinda made me lol.

It reminded me of those tv shows where girls say stuff like
"My best friend really likes you..."
when it's really them that's doin the liking.

Okay, on with the suggestion.
Step 1:
Get a camera

Step 2:
Figure out when your brother uses the computer

Step 3:
Check in periodically.

Step 4:
This should'a been in earlier, but make a program that slows the computer down a little.

Step 5:
Burst into the room and take a picture of him doing his one handed typing. Blackmail is always fun, or you could just show it to you parents.

Step 6:
Buy your own computer so you don't have to let anybody else use it, it's always nice to let them use it though.

I'll say it now...this is a GRAHAM NORTON FREE ZONE

It's a nice idea tho...

i dont like sensoring the net cause some good sites get sensored like art sites. so u should just lock him out the ur computer. o yea and tell him this "u sick little pervert the only reason u look at this sh*t is cause u cannt get any in real life."

[Benjamin]

could you please post that so it's not italic or bold?

all that appeared was a 4

[SteveCRM]

you could just get a program to take screenshots every minute or two...hehehe...just imagine his face when he finds out...

<-this guy needs to go to the dentist! His teeth are yellow!

hum....Denis, i don't see why you want to stop him from looking at porn, i mean what's wrong with that?? I mean i look at porn like every night and i still have a normal life and no it's not cause i can't get any cause I DO heheh and it's way better than porn ^_* anywayz im not dumb enough to download exe though.....but you should stop worying cause all of those exe are only "dialer" that connect you to some ISP (1-900 #) and you pay/min that you're online and since you have ADSL he can't dial, cause they work only with dial up modem

I want him to stop looking at porn, because I've gotten into trouble for it

and, it doesn't matter what the exe supposedly does, there is a chance it could contain a virus or a trojan, and I don't want that **** on my computer.

[parksie]

Then go with the sock full of quarters option

[Benjamin]

I think I will.... mmmm.... now if only I could find a sock and some quarters....

Why Not Put a Neat Message on the Monitor...

"Brother you are being watched....!"

[Static]

If you are using IE...set the security level...with a password...He will get totally pissed because most sites will trigger it!!

have you searched for free blockers?

I stubled onto this but dont know anything about it...

otherwise write a prog to 'catch' where hes going to and maybe redirect him to disney.

(i dont know how to do that but I bet you can)

[HarryW]

Or you could write a program that flashes up a screen with "You'll go blind!" in big letters for about 1/4 of a second every now and again when IE is running

[Benjamin]

Now THAT would be funny...

I have the same problem with my flatmate. I don't want to say 'No don't use my computer' cause that's a bit sad. Personally, I don't care what sites he looks at (porn or whatever) so long as he doesn't download any .exe or .ocx's, but several times I have had to spend ages removing spyware and their registry entries. I can sympathise with you, its really annoying. I've had a few words and fortunately he seems to have learnt his lesson. I'm sure there is loads of blocking software out there, but its a shame that there is nothing built into windows. Companies, schools, internet cafes etc all use stuff like this.

In fact, I have some vb6 code in my 'downloaded code archives' that checks the urls IE navigates to if your interested, and forbids some Urls. Please find it attatched.

With regards to having your own desktop, cusor etc, you can do all that if you use different usernames to log on with.
