Title: Question concerning Firefox and browsing history

I have reason to believe that my 16 y.o. son is looking at porn on his laptop. However, he knows how to go to the history tool bar and delete his browsing history. Is there another way that I can look at the browsing history?

I don't, but I'm guessing Neil might.

Your son is sixteen years old, if he isn't looking at porn, you should worry.

If it is not rape, snuff, or child porn, don't give yourself a heart attack over it.

You should probably be more worried about the possibility that you son might accidentally get his girlfriend pregnant.

If firefox is well written, then it shouldn't be possible to retrieve the history after the history is purged.

Countermeasures would be installing some kind of spyware. A simple one would just copy the browser cache every 5 mins to some alternate place where it wouldn't get purged by firefox.

Good luck raising a teen.

Firefox IS well written; still it uses the IE internet cache. So to answer F.A. Hayek Fan's original question, the answer is ABSOLUTELY YES, assuming the IE Internet cache is not also erased.

Reading the IE Internet cache requires a viewer, though.

Whatever cache it uses, it obviously erases it, whether it's the MSIE cache or not.

And just off hand, I'd say that if it uses the MSIE cache instead of it's own, then it's NOT well written. On linux, it doesn't use the MSIE cache. (Of course on linux, there is no MSIE cache, unless maybe it's running under WINE).

In the past, I've viewed the cache with just a regular window browser. You can't really see the intact HTML pages, but all the images are there, and if the goal is just to see if porn pics are there, you do not need anything special.

No it doesn't under Windows and I am assuming F.A. Hayek Fan uses windows. That is why you enjoy Linux. You don't want all those stinking files cluttering up your HDDs while enjoying the simplicity of use.

Typically, you can find your IE cache here: "C:Documents and SettingsAdministratorLocal SettingsTemporary Internet Files" .... again you require a viewer.

Has FA asks his son directly beforehand about looking at porn? Looking him directly in the eye and ask the question.

To go behind someone's back is not moral. Such hypocrisy is the reason we have so many problems in the world.

Are your questions/considerations pertinent to F.A. Hayek Fan's original technical question? I don't think so.

Your moral considerations are meaningless to F.A. Hayek Fan's considerations. How do you know he hasn't already had the dialogue you discuss? Aren't YOU fabricating HOT_AIRE without addressing the initial point of view by F.A. Hayek Fan?

But, you would walk in blindly into doing immoral acts, such as going behind people's backs, without asking for details beforehand. While I ask for, and point out details.

I believe in making an "informed decision" before taking action. You do not.

Let's review F.A. Hayek Fan's post:

I have reason to believe that my 16 y.o. son is looking at porn on his laptop. However, he knows how to go to the history tool bar and delete his browsing history. Is there another way that I can look at the browsing history?

He wasn't asking for a moral lecture or advice; he was demonstrating or establishing HIS requirement for technical discussion on a specific detail of interest.

The moral conduct of F.A. Hayek Fan's family is HIS own concern not mine, or yours or Paul, or christine or tom, dick or harry.

And the technical question is justified for more reasons than anyone wants to consider, too. Everywhere on the Internet you go is monitored by several US government agencies; today the issue might be porn; tomorrow it might be making a bomb; it is appropriate that EVERYONE KNOWS HOW TO guard their respective private equipment, especially since the PatriotAct of 2001.

Cleaning your own equipment cache or understanding how it exists is good stuff to know. I am glad F.A. Hayek Fan brought it up.

So why did you decide to impose your own moral principles into a technical question?

Sorry charlie, I discussed technical considerations NOT YOU. You imposed some fucked-upped dialogue that is reminiscent of the Spanish Inquisition. And your often spouted moral principals go no-where with me.

Here is your POST#2:

Your son is sixteen years old, if he isn't looking at porn, you should worry.

If it is not rape, snuff, or child porn, don't give yourself a heart attack over it.

You should probably be more worried about the possibility that you son might accidentally get his girlfriend pregnant.

Where did you answer the TECHNICAL question? Ohhhhh, it was too easy to FORCE your moral principals into a pile of blabbering BULLSHIT.

I believe in making an "informed decision" before taking action. You do not.

You don't know diddly-squat.

Because "moral principles", or lack there of, were stated within the "technical question" itself.

You remind me of those anti-constitutionalists that argue about the requirements of and about the Second Amendment.

F.A. Hayek Fan posted an establishment preamble that has only meaning to his technical question. On review:

Here is what F.A. Hayek Fan asked:

I have reason to believe that my 16 y.o. son is looking at porn on his laptop. However, he knows how to go to the history tool bar and delete his browsing history. Is there another way that I can look at the browsing history?

His reasons are his business in establishing a premise. But all you did in post#2 was distract away from his interest.

Now, let's look at the Second Amendment which is largely neglected in the SAME WAY (or contextual argument) you attempted to distract F.A. Hayek Fan's post:

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

You have garbled F.A. Hayek Fan's meaning similar to Handgun Control Inc. You think because of establishing a forward or principle towards the issue permits some sort of distraction.

You are a bumbling, babbling idiot PaulCJ. No wonder you can't get it quite right yet ... you are always distracted because you can't read.

Kind of like talking about someone while having them on your bozo list so that they are unable to respond to you or insisting that others fight and die for the war you support while you sit on the computer in your parents house nice and safe.

You know nothing of morality but are thoroughly familiar with hypocrisy.

I do not believe that I am "having a heart attack over it." Like the overwhelming majority of parents in this country, I do not want my son looking at pornography. He says he isn't, and maybe he's not, but I would like to be sure. 16 year old boys are horny enough without subjecting themselves to pornography everyday.

Back when sex education was being introduced into the pubic school system, and commenting on the great outcry that arose, some pundit commented, "We don't need any classes on sex education, let'em learn it in the gutter, like I did."

It would have saved us tons of money had his advice been followed.
