Web Filtering Software

@Xiahou, great tip, thanks.

@drone, Maxwell has his own laptop, but he also drifts onto my netbook sometimes, and I allow him onto my gaming rig when he's been very, very good. So really I have one primary and two secondary computers to buffer for his impressionable, fragile mind.

It's not like I'm anti-porn, more that I'm pro-appropriate-age-stuff.

At work we sometimes try to get the virus-prone users to use K9. It (apparently) blocks out malware-laden sites as well as naughty bits. Can't say I've used it personally though.

I concur on K9. I've used it off and on for about six years. Great for home user implementation. Whenever clients want something cheap/free that actually works, for their home use to keep their kids in line, K9 is my default answer. You can also leave it in passive mode and just have it report usage.
I once installed it for a Library on six kiosk machines, that about the only time I've used it in a corporate environment. There are more appropriate choices for corporate, IMO.

never use filtering software myself, but I know my collegues that always try and directly discuss anything with their kids on the internet, direct supervision is the best.

or maybe better, let em grow "all natural in the internet" by providing them games and funny stuffs outside prons, my parents didn't even know anything about computers, only me and my sis touch the comp in our house when we're younger, Well... of course, I spent too much times playing online games, but thank God, that's far better than early exposure to adult sites (seriously, I only start watching them at univ) *guilty* *guilty* *guilty* *guilty* *guilty* *guilty* *guilty* *guilty* *guilty*
