Comment be a parent (Score 1) 618

As has been mentioned many times by at least unity100 and BigDish in terms of effort but in the vein of houstonbofh: a system can be made to do this in a variety of ways. And maybe for younger kids some of the censorship is ok and off-the-shelf routers provide this easily. But the reality is, be a parent. If they are grounded and that is part of the grounding then take the power cords if they've proven they will use it when grounded. It is your roof they are living under, if they don't like it then suggest they find more amenable living conditions. Sorry, but I have 3 daughters the youngest 18 now and they will respect you more when you do that. I understand we want to use technology to ease our lives but raising children is not an area to do this in. At least not in this manner. If they circumvented anything I did I'd have to smile at that because could respect that. Would you rather have them discover something unseemly on the internet under your roof or would you rather have that first discovery be when they are on their own. Seems like a good learning experience with you present.

PS3 Hacked? 296

Several readers have sent word that George Hotz (a.k.a. geohot), the hacker best known for unlocking Apple's iPhone, says he has now hacked the PlayStation 3. From his blog post: "I have read/write access to the entire system memory, and HV level access to the processor. In other words, I have hacked the PS3. The rest is just software. And reversing. I have a lot of reversing ahead of me, as I now have dumps of LV0 and LV1. I've also dumped the NAND without removing it or a modchip. 3 years, 2 months, 11 days...that's a pretty secure system. ... As far as the exploit goes, I'm not revealing it yet. The theory isn't really patchable, but they can make implementations much harder. Also, for obvious reasons I can't post dumps. I'm hoping to find the decryption keys and post them, but they may be embedded in hardware. Hopefully keys are setup like the iPhone's KBAG."
