Need to make a small program, Java will do? [satellite internet service] [satellite service]

Q: Heres the deal . I just got a a few days ago, and my son is downloading MP3s galore, which is expected:) Only problem is that the will connect lower speed all the way to 56k speed if you Download over 200 megabytes per hour. I have to get out of 56k, and my son does too much to download one hour, so when Im on the computer after he finished, I have 56k speed, lol. Ive been thinking of creating a program to all attempts to access Napster type sites to block, because I know exactly which sites he wants to visit. I do not want to do it, just because limits of the connection, Im pretty annoyed with all the useless CDs to the house: P Everytime I tell him to stop downloading so much junk, he is still some thus ignores how he downloaded (

Which programming would be best suited to the task of blocking access to certain websites treated? Would Java the best language for this job, and it is possible to sufficiently to learn Java in a day writing this little program of mine? I do not think this is really a hassle, it gives me an excuse to sit back and relax on the computer all day:)


Best Answer: The main difference between a them is a netbook usually has smaller hard drive, for storage, a smaller screen and no cd/dvd.

Re:<< get a software firewall… the one i use AtGuard enables you to block web sites or downloads from websites… also it is password protected.. it is easy to set up and works great… >>

Thanks for the suggestion, hadn't thought of using a firewall. Do software firewalls create a noticeable connnection speed decrease?

Re:<< Punch him in the nose everyday you come home and your 56k limited. You don't even have to tell him why or explain anything. Just look at the 56k connection, look at him for an extended period, then get up and punch him in the nose. >>

LOL

<< Talk to him, that's all you need to do. >>

I already did that, but he quite regularly seems to "forget" how much he has downloaded;) Like I said, that's not the only reason I want to do this. The amount of CDs lying all over the house is absurd, lol. Also, I want it to be a form of punishment too. I caught him selling game copies to his friends already:Q That got me quite upset, I definitely don't want him to continue doing that. I'm a softy when it comes to punishment, so I thought I'd just restrict his access to these types of sites to definitely get the point across. I don't want to restrict his access to the computer, because their is a wealth of information to be learned on the web, but I want to block some sites so he doesn't get any bad habits, especially illegal ones such as pirating software:(

Guaranteed, 3 days max and it'll never happen again. :)

I kid. I kid!

Talk to him, that's all you need to do.

Learn about the HOSTS files. That's all you need.

Why would learning about the host's files help?

<< set up accounts and give him an account that limits his time use, actually there are programs out there that limit your bandwidth, also there is software that will block site (netnanny and all that other progs) use one of these available resources. >>

I know I could buy one of those Cyber Nanny type programs but I don't feel like shelling out the money for that type of program when all I want to do is block a few sites. Also, I don't want to limit the amount of time he can be on the computer, I'm not that much of a grump yet, lol.

I just got done reading a thick book on the basics of programming, so I was hoping to use this little problem as an excuse to learn an exact programming language and get started making my own programs, hehe:)

Re:Java can get pretty boring, :-) . I tried to learn it in a month (hour a day) and got bored after day 12. :-) . If you know VB, VB6 would be easiest.
