Fun Facts About Norton Internet Security 2005

1) Occult / Newage is banned by default on Parent-Watch

Now Dictionary.com tells me

Occult:
  1. Of, relating to, or dealing with supernatural influences, agencies, or phenomena.
New Age:
  1. Of or relating to a complex of spiritual and consciousness-raising movements originating in the 1980s and covering a range of themes from a belief in spiritualism and reincarnation to advocacy of holistic approaches to health and ecology.
[sarcasm]
Excuse me but is this not quite simmilar to religion ?? Which is not banned by default! I mean what if my kids (heaven forbid) look up some cooky religion thats not quite New-Age or the occult!
[/sarcasm]

I'm quite dissapointed that religious/belief bias exsists in this context! Thankfully I am an Pseudo-Athiest (I prefer the term, Non-Religious since i'm neither an Athiest or Agnostic) who choses to respect others beliefs but I will not adhear to them. Needless to say, I unchecked the box for this topic even though 'Parental Control' is set to off, since i'm the only one using it :P
I'f you are going to ban a belief system ban them all or ban none.


2) Hentai is a blocked newsgroup, good to see at least someone at Symantec is upto date. But really, there are only a minimal number of topics in the block list, and I can easilly think of many more. Some would have far more unappropiate content than this.


3) LiveUpdate removed from RMB menu on tray icon!

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH!

Do you know how annoying it is waiting for the program to fully load so I can click on [Live Update]. A slower system makes this even more tedious! Please put it back!




In other news:

Petra, the greyhound had puppies, so far there be 6 survivors (1 died :( ), but there still could be 4 more. At least she dosent look like a labrador anymore :D

Hectic Hectic Hectic day it has been

BLOODY SICK FREAKS POSTING SICK S*** ONLINE

B U R N I N H E L L

And stop posting your links onto valid topics! Honestly its getting insane in some places. Thankfully its mostly a bunch of bots ( I hope ! ). Nothing a good, "Report to Administrator" cant hlp anyway :P

The only way to avoid things is to read replys first, unfortuantly on a HTML link these do not exist, so its a quick click on the [X] button.

I must support the effort by various agencies as well, there have been a high number of charges of late, but it appears it is not enough. It almost makes me want to vote for censorship online! And you know how I feel about censors >:|



Right, 3 rants done. I'm going to bed to read "Pandora's Star" By Peter. F. Hamilton and drink some water.
