Parental, will it ever get useful??

I was hoping the 1.9 update would improve parental controls, no! I've posted about this before...
Currently useless. Make controls strict and an adult has to do the following:
flip a channel, get locked out, unlock the channel. Flip to next channel, that's locked, unlock it. Go to previous channel, that's locked, unlock it!
I had cox cable and they had it down perfect and simple. Once prompted to unlock it remained unlocked for 6 hours or until you power cycled the box. Perfect!
Why can't we get that? 

One issue that i noticed when it comes to parental controls is that when you turn them on to try to not allow all of the adult titles that are very graphic to be shown on the guide a lot of regular movies and tv shows are blocked out too. That has to do with the fact that when you activate them anything that is rated mature is listed as a adult title but the problem with that is that everything that is listed as mature or nc-17 gets blocked. Tv shows on hbo like true blood, game of thrones, and the newsroom that are listed as mature immediately get listed as a adult title. A movie like kiss of death with david caruso and nicolas cage is listed as a adult title because it is rated mature while another movie with jennifer connelly called requiem for a dream is listed as a adult title because it is rated nc-17 so what you have are parental controls that are often too strong that need to be modified.

  • Nokia 5800 - Will it ever get fixed?

    Well i have had a few problems with my phone the main one is that the browser just closes on its own and you have to start from scratch and then it does it again, now my network provider know about the problem but say they are waiting for nokia to release a fix, but nokia dont seem in any rush as its been 10 months since the last one.
    V40.0.005
    So will it ever get a software fix or are 3 just fobing me off?
    Thanks

    @thebug
    Latest available firmware for 5800 is V51, I found the browser is good and not crashing as it used to be before. You have to push 3 to release this firmware from their end, hope you've got the device from them.

  • Will Malaysia ever get Full Itunes store?

  • How much space does my Organizer hold? Will it ever get  full?

    Hi, I was just wondering how many pic's will my Organizer hold? Will it ever run out of space? Cause I sure do have alot in there now. Windows xp with 512 of ram.
    Thanks, [email protected]

    Thanks for the correction. Yes, the file size in Jet 4.0 was changed to 2
    gigabytes. I had forgotten that. I've been retired two years for Heaven's
    sake. However, within the context that I brought it up, it was only to
    tease a little bit :-) by indicating that there is a physical limit
    to the size of the database and, hence, a limit to the number of entries --
    i.e. it's not unbounded. Whether it's 1 or 2 gigabytes, it's still finite.
    And, for Organizer, it hardly matter much because performance issues would
    probably create a practical limit long before the physical limit was
    reached.
    Jet 4.0 was the last version of the Jet database engine and that was
    superceded by the Microsoft Desktop engine (MSDE) and (as of the time of my
    retirement at least) was deprecated as a component of the Microsoft Data
    Access Components (MDAC). Time marches on. I understand that Microsoft is
    replacing MSDE with SQL Server 2005 Express Edition and that standard
    support of MSDE will cease at the end of next year. Taking all that into
    account, I think I can be forgiven for opining JET obsolete. :-) I have not
    heard of a new version of JET in the works. If you have, more power to you.
    Being retired, I no longer need to keep on top of database developments or
    care to. :-) :-) :-)
    Time to get back on topic.

  • Will apple ever get the youtube back

    I have been using my ipad for almost a year I updated my ipad software and youtube is gone but before I had a ipod touch for 4 years and been using youtube for ever do you think that apple will get the old youtube back. Google and Apple are the biggest stores in the world you think that you two would agree on something  Its not that you need money please get the old youtube back please or at least make it possible I think its stupied that you added a clock we already have a clock on the top of the device that app is stupied please please please apple and google work something out so that we can get the old youtube back.

    The youTube App is gone because Apple's license to use it has expired.
    YouTube is still accessible on the iPad via Safari (or any other browser) at http://m.youtube.com/
    Sign in at this site and your favorites, etc. will still be present. Save the site icon to the iPad Home screen and you will have a replacement for the youTube App.
    There is also an iPhone youTube App in the App Store which works on the iPad as well as the Jasmine App.

  • Will Apple ever get to fix Wireless Sync for Windows 7

    I have not been able to get my devices iPhone 4S and my iPad 3 to be able to do updates with apps and such since the 5.1.1 and 10.6.3, it does not want to connect to each said device. It says looking for iPhone, iPad but never connects and says can not find it on my WiFi network. I got to manually update apps from the devices and only ever now and again will it wifi sync but it only does it when I see the icon in the lower right of iTunes that it can share or whatever that icon means or when I plug into wall sometimes it does it but not all the time it is frustrating, I also hit the renew lease in the wifi area of general, settings and sometimes it helps but most of the time it don't. I have done all the trouble shooting ie: uninstall all components in proper order of itunes etc and restarted computer verified no traces were left and then re-installed all components and that has not worked. I wish or would like Apple to look into it and see why it happens or have someone look into it and come up with a fix and or update to resolve the issue.

    I think I'll add my tuppence and say that I have just downgraded to Tiger, and I am so much happier now.
    I bought my Mac in November (this my first real experience of Mac) and immediately upgraded the pre-installed Tiger to Leopard (using the supplied upgrade CD).
    The problems started right away. My symptoms were that the wireless network would not work until I'd de-selected and re-selected the SSID in the Airport menu after each start-up or wake from sleep. It'd also drop out intermittently - maybe once every two or three hours. My wife was close to demanding the old XP workstation back. Not good.
    I hard-coded my ISP's DNS settings in to the network configuration, but that didn't help at all. I didn't try OpenDNS, but I don't see how that would have made any difference when all of the other wireless network devices that we own (HP laptop, iPod touch, Wii, old-HP workstation) work fine, all of the time.
    Anyway, this weekend I used the Disk Manager in Leopard to resize the Macintosh_HD partition and created a second, smaller partition called Tiger. I used the light-grey discs that came with the Mac to install Tiger, choosing the new partition as the target.
    Since installing Tiger my wireless network has worked perfectly, and the little cheese (as the Airport icon has come to be known in our house) is always at maximum strength.
    Go Tiger!
    P.S. I was also getting another, more serious problem in Leopard - many applications, Safari and Mail included, would not launch - I'd immediately get a Application Quit Unexpectedly message. Anybody else seeing this? I am just stabbing in the dark, but I think it might be because some demo application expired after 30 days, and that might have affected the quick look feature. Scrivener and iWork '08 both expired around the time the problems started.

  • HT5129 What happen to our Gallery? Will we ever get it back?

    I was able to share photo Albums with friends all over the world. What do we do now? Have we lost this ability all together?
    Will something replace this?

    See: http://www.apple.com/ios/ios6/#photostreams
    Now you can share just the photos you want, with just the people you choose. Simply select photos from the Photos app, tap the Share button, choose who you want to share your photos with, and they’re on their way. Friends using iCloud on an iOS 6 device or a Mac running Mountain Lion get the photos delivered immediately in the Photos app or iPhoto.3 You can even view shared photo streams on Apple TV. If the folks you're sharing with aren’t using an Apple device, they can view your photos on the web. People can like individual photos and make comments. And you can share as much as you want: Your shared photo streams don’t count against your iCloud storage, and they work over Wi-Fi and cellular networks.

  • Droid DNA: Will it ever get an update to the OS?????

        Droid DNA is on 4.1.1     When will Verizon give us 4.3

    Be careful what you wish for.  Now that the upgrade to Android 4.2 and Sense 5 has been delivered, I'm seeing nothing but complaints.  I too have many complaints about it, including
    I miss the unlock ring; the new unlock isn't cool or fun, and is a little skippy
    Why did they eliminate the "zooming weather" on the prior lock screen? The weather on the new lock screen is boring.
    Text notifications on the new lock screen are boring too. Where's the the old bigger one with the contact's picture??
    I'm furious that double-tapping the home button no longer gives me thumbnails of all my homepages for instant access to them. WHY would HTC remove that simple but handy tool??
    Infinite homepage scrolling - why give that and now take it away? I grew reliant on that too.
    The app drawer now scrolls vertically instead of horizontally. Okay..whatever, HTC. Was it really that crucial to switch scrolling direction?
    The stupid 3 x 3 spacing of the app drawer. At least that's fixable through the Grid Size option (though that's hard to find)
    The 4x4 animated weather widget is gone and replaced with a black-and-white, non-dynamic 1x2 tile? No thank you. I used to enjoy the animations when checking my weather, and being able to swipe through my cities. Now that is all impossible. WHY?
    The photo album widget used to show thumbnails of your last 24 pictures or so; now it only shows a big version of your last photo
    The People widget no longer allows me to do a vertical view showing each person's latest activity; now it's just tiled profile pics.
    The time and weather in the app drawer is completely useless. I don't go to my app drawer to get the time and weather.
    The text bubble colors are horrendous, at least with my personalized background. I can't see my replies.

  • Noise Reduction is a PITA! Will this ever get easier?

    One of the things (and there are many) that I like about LR is the
    non-desctrcutive nature of the changes it makes. Recently I had a couple a
    hundred shots where I had to use ISO 1600-3200. The LR noise reduction can
    not hold a candle to the 3rd party tools. I use Noise Ninja myself. In order
    to make sure that I had the best image to work from I had to export from LR
    as a PSD in 16 bit and then run NN on the PSD file. The resultant PSD file
    is 4 times larger than the DNG in LR. I now also have to deal with 2 files.
    I remember reading about an SDK for LR that should allow NN and others to do
    this in the same way that LR does its edits in a non destructive fashion.
    Is there any progress on this front?
    Does DxO 5 offer this?
    The current way is really akward.

    L. Little,
    I haven't lost all hope that Adobe will get more into this. Raw Shooter Pro did not have near the issues with NR that LR has, had some nice pre-processing aspects for Noise (you can set up similar things under LR), and did not seem to create the issues frequently seen in LR especially with High ISO. Hopefully Adobe can pull more of that into the product. I think, from some of the readings on forums, that the whole NR engine in LR was a new redesign, maybe this is a case of "if it isn't broken, don't fix it" at play, with that comes a desire to make whatever the new design is work.. so I guess we'll have to see if the refinements keep coming. I don't think they can ignore all the complaints from people.
    The possibility of 3rd party tools linked in from the folks at Noise Ninja, Neat Image, etc. is also something to look forward to. For high ISO images, I tend to let NR tools in CS3 handle the exported JPG after I've done any other adjustments, as opposed to sending it out via conversion, and bringing it back into LR.

  • Will I ever get a working phone line and broadband...

    What a nightmare - nearly a week after activation data I still haven't got a working phone. Every time I call BT I get fobbed off by a indian call centre and to be honest I don't thing they know what they are doing!
    I should have know this would happen - my intial order kept getting cancelled as the exchange and my address didn't match, then they said there was working line in the property when there wasn't.
    Since my activation date I have been told;
    1) There was a probelm at the exchange
    2) there is a crossed connection
    3) outreach can't do anything because the phonenumber is for the incorrect exchange
    4) BT need to generate a new number based at the correct exchange
    I really don't know what to do now to get some progress on this - the call centre have said they will call tomorrow to tell me what will happen next.
    Can anyone offer me any advice?
    Thanks

  • Will we ever get unlimited data again?

    Hi,
    I'm a semi-happy customer.  I'm contemplating buying the Samsung Galaxy S4, but with a phone that great, you really need unlimited data.  It gets expensive to purchase more data constantly, especially since my bill is already $125.00.  With unlimited data plans on competitors service (starting at $69) how will we do with customer retention?

    It will happen, but maybe not in my lifetime.  Someone imagined GPS and now we have it.  OTA radio and tv is free and unlimited.
    OTA TV might not last much longer with the FCC asking for more and more spectrum for wireless. Also those are ONE way communications. Obviously that takes much less bandwidth. Obviously takes much less bandwidth to broadcast ONE signal to a million people than to have a million people stream your content.

  • Will we ever get this bac

    Everyone i own a X-Fi Titanium Fatality Pro soundcard using it with my amp via optical in 5.ch dolby digital.
    With my old sound cards i could select 6.ch sound via the console manager since thats what i truely have at home eg speakers and amp both supporting 6.ch sound.
    Is there anyway to get it now on my Titanium card either with some option i havent selected or a software i might need to get eg addon to enable 6.ch support.
    I have made a request to Creative to add 6.ch support to the next driver update, just waiting for there response.
    Anyways would be grateful if someone could help me. Thanks

    Nope. You won't.
    Vista only supports 5. and 7., so you'd have to complain to Microsoft...

  • Will we ever get rid of Core Audio resets?

    I am so tired of random core audio resets and reload of all sample plugins.
    It gets very annoying with plugins like Abbey Road Drums or Scarbee Bass libraries.Although they load to their own server still reloads everything.
    Waiting everything reload really kills it. And worst of all it happens randomly.

    Hi
    Thanks for the link.
    This is not only happening by Kontakt. My Play libraries reload as well.
    The problem lies within Logic. Somehow Logic sends a reset to core audio so all samplebased libraries reload.
    I also see on my maschine hardware the light goes of and on and all the synrosoft keys shows activity.
    This is a huge problem by logic and somehow couldnt be solved since Logic8.
    Even with just audio tracks if there are too many after I open the song core audio resets and make me wait before I play.
    There is something wrong the way logic handles memory and undos.
    It is not possible for me to open two songs without quiting Logic first because Logic does not release the memory of the closed song fully.
    Likewise load omnispehere and start browsing patches and you will see that memory gets less and less eventhough you are just browsing.And finally when you select a patch there is the memory getting low error.

  • So we finally got 2.3.4 but will we ever get the ps store?

    i mean honestly the only reason i bought this phone was because of the ps store and then to find out that the R800x doesnt support it yet is a huge bummer. but i will be perfectly fine if i know whether or not we will get it or not. does anyone know? can we start a petition to maybe expedite the process?

    Shes talking about the Playstation store, every other version of the Play on other Carriers has it, except for us.  It was one of the main features of the phone and ridiculous that it doesn't work.
