This is all cool security stuff and it may have some applications, perhaps in a library or other public terminal.
If you find that all of this stuff is necessary to keep your children out of your home computer, then something is very wrong in your home. Fine, put content filtering on for smaller children, it will work fine until they are old enough to figure out how to bypass it. By the time they find ways around your filtering, NOTHING you do is going to keep them from accessing stuff that you don't want them to. All this stuff is simply giving them challenges, which is fine if your intention is to teach them how to bypass computer security.
If you really feel that this stuff is necessary to keep your kids away from certain web sites, then you have failed as a parent; don't forget to securely lock the liquor, make sure that the knives are locked safely away, and make absolutely sure that your keys are secured at all times. Remember that it only takes a few seconds for your child to take a wax impression of a key.
Yes, I have children and they have never been subjected to this sort of abuse.
