I"m pretty sure there is no such program because every picture is different from the next. At least I have not come across one yet. There is a filter on Adobe Photoshop called Stamp that may have a cartoon feel to it but it's not the best. So, i suggest trying pen[cil?] and paper or take your time and use a photo editing program. Good luck |

All you need to do that is a computer. With a program like FL Studio, you don't even need a MIDI keyboard (piano). You can use the keyboard on your computer to tigger the instruments in FL Studio. Of course, if you can get a MIDI keyboard it would be best though. All you need is a USB to MIDI cable, about 30-40 bucks and start up FL Studio and you are good to go. Check out the demo of FL Studio here: http://flstudio.image-line.com /documents/download.html Make sure you read the F1 help manual to get started. You can import any VSTi (virtual instrument) into FL Studio. Image-Line makes several, the flagship being "Sytrus" which comes with the XXL version of FL Studio at a major discounted price. If you end up liking FL Studio, here is a link I used to buy my FL Studio with a 10% discount on the ENTIRE first purchase, anybody can use it: https://support.image-line.com /jshop/shop.php?offer=Default& promo=BFHEHAH486 Once you buy FL Studio from image-line's online shop, you get FREE LIFETIME updates..meaning you don't pay a cent each year they release a new version (9,10,11, ect.. for free). Good luck and have fun |

What software is available to My parents are concerned about
my younger sibling's use of
the computer. They spend way
too much time playing games.
Are there any software
available that allows
passwords on software before
opening the programs?
We all use the same user and
having different users is not
the solution. I need software
to allow only certain
programs. Fort Knox have a
program that locks your files,
but that isnt going to work.
Any ideas or free ware out
there? Please let me know!

Well, Windows Vista has parental controls built right into the computer that let you limit usage. There are also third-party softwares out there like Webroot Parental Controls (however nothing free that I'm aware of). It's worth noting that you pretty much HAVE to use multiple accounts on the same computer to limit usage. Otherwise the computer has no idea how it should limit certain games/programs/websites/etc. Adding extra accounts is a pretty trivial process though. |

What software are there to I am looking for software that
can track the websites and
webpages a user has visited.
For example, I am operating a
wireless router that connects
5-7 users to the Internet. I
am interested in what are
these people are doing with my
wireless service, as in are
they abusing the wireless
service that I am providing to
them?
I am interested in how much
time they are spending on the
Internet, what websites they
have visited or the webpages
they are surfing and if they
are downloading materials.
I know that such software are
available on the open market
but so far, I'm not sure where
to find them. I am hoping for
examples of such software that
I can use.
Furthermore, I also wonder if
the users on my wireless
router can block such tracking
software or If they can tack
my attempts to follow them or
if they will be aware if I am
using such software to track
them.
I undertsand that large
networks and corporations
routinely use such software.
Are such software very
expensive?

One solution is to setup a transparent proxy. http://www.squid-cache.org/ This can be done as to not interfere with access but can provide all sorts of data including every web access or you can restrict certain sites if you really want to. There are several add-ons that have been done for squid to provide reporting from the logs that it can keep. A side benefit is that using caching you can maximize bandwidth and make browsing effectively quicker for sites that are visited frequently or by multiple users. This is basically a free solution. Any, say, old pentium machine with decent network cards, a fair amount of memory, HD space and Linux loaded on it can handle this. You could also use something like tcpdump (a packet capture utility) which can monitor *all* traffic going through the network. This too is a free program. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T cpdump http://www.tcpdump.org/ The average user would have no idea if you were using any type of 'tracking' method. And all but the most knowledgable would be aware of certain methods (eg tcpdump can be quite difficult to determine if it is being used depending on how it is used). While it would be pretty easy for someone to realize that they are going through a proxy (eg. a random error with the proxy accessing a page) this can be excused as being in place for the speed benefit. Many corporations probably use some commercial software, mainly because they have a budget and don't care so much about cost as they do prettiness and nifty charts and reports that a program can make for them with ease. There is plenty of open source software that can do just as much. For more possibilities do a search on freshmeat or sourceforge. |
