If your a parent and hate to know if your child is surfing online to visit pornographic web sites. Then this program will be great for you. It requires some configuration to offer the proper protection but once you configure it correctly. You will not have to fear that your child is trying to view these sites. And if in the case your child is getting curious, you can be alerted to get email alerts that they are trying to access a prohibited site.
Windows can be setup to block out pornographic sites but it's still vulnerable and not guaranteed. Here are the instructions to setup via windows.
Open Internet Explorer -> click on Tools -> Internet Options -> Content tab -> on Content Advisor click on settings -> make sure Language, Nudity , Sex, and Violence it at Level 0 and click ok. This should prevent the computer from going to pornographic websites. But like I said it's no guarantee.

Use A cell phone as a Laptop Modem

Now per my last blog I mentioned using future dial to connect a laptop or computer to the internet. This method now that I am mentioning here is using Bluetooth. The only thing is that it works with some blue tooth phones only. It really depends on the manufacture. Verizon wireless blocks most of it's Bluetooth services but they do sell a broadband kit for most of there phones that they sell.
If you do have a EV-DO capable phone well let's just say they all are equipped with modems and if you can find the proper cable for that phone to connect to your laptop or PC. You can easily get a internet connection speed of 464kps, exactly like getting a regular dialup connection. Hopefully free broadband will be someday available everywhere, but for now we have to use our available resources to get more for our money. Feel free to go a google search on using a cell phone modem.

Microsoft has extend life on old Pc's. It helps companies take the full benefit of an old PC so that companies can migrate slowly. The good thing is that you need not to upgrade immediately.

Fake Broadband War

Be careful and keep your eyes open when it comes from getting service via DSL and broadband. In some cases you look like you paying less but in reality your paying for more. Even though DSL comes in affordable prices, it can be for only a short time and you sign a yearly contract. If your unhappy with DSL just remember the penalties if you decide to cancel service. There is no broadband war and most prices are just introductory offers that last only a few months before you do get a price increase.
Make sure to read the fine print and find out what you really pay after the introductory offer.

Future Dial to the Rescue

Problem:
Had a laptop and needed to some how be able to send faxes with low cost or no expenses. Could also help if it could connect to my dialup connection while on the move because I was mobile from place to place.
Solution:
Get Future Dial software with cell phone cable adapter and use current Cell phone service to send long distance and local faxes. Have also dialup access just in case I needed service and didn't want to pay the extra expenses because I was going mobile.

Future dial has it's pro's and cons. If you upgrade your phone you have to fork up another cable for the new phone to connect to the software. But I must admit it did save me lot's of money faxing over local and long distance, while mobile.
