yeah, its true. restriction has set in. for yall that dont know im 14 and so still live under the rule of my parents. now being my normal comp geek self i spend excessive amounts of time on the computer just like most everyone else here. My parents decided they wanted me to be "normal", by the way w/ the growing trend i am normal, but anyways, they put software called "enuff" on there that only gives me limited access to the computer, like i only get 1 1/2 hours on here each day. WHAT CAN I DO IN an hour and a half!?!?!?!?! if possible, someone tell me how 2 crack it, its ruining my reputation.

"everything in moderation" It sounds to me that your parents did this as a last resort after warning you thousands of times.
next time you go out take a look at other people and realise that they don't look like you, they're sort of pink coloured whereas you're a sort of waxy white with the occasional blue vain visible under your skin !!
Seriously though there is more to life (especially at 14) find a balance, do what your parents say for a while and they might increase your allocated time.

lol, 2 things, i have found fishing very nice because it takes up an extra amount of time and doesnt make me so mad when im trying 2 decode html, and also, im out alot, i have 4 hours of tennis everyday but still, and ur right about them telling me a thousand times, lol .

"everything in moderation" is good advice, like always. But if you are keeping up your grades and not just playing games all the time, it probably seems unfair.
I guess you could always partition your hard drive and install Linux on half. (Linux is free, a really great OS, more stable than Win.) Then your computer would boot up Linux when you start it with a special 3.5 disk, and there would be no way for the program to control your time. The rest of the time, when someone (else) starts the computer, it would boot up into windows, and you would not ever know that the other OS is there. Anyway, you should always check with your parents first, however As a second though, you could install windows on the partition just as easily.
The second thing you could do is simply use reverse physiology, and convince your parents that you are better off not being left in the "real world". I can think of countless ways to do this. You could take up drug dealing, for starters (saving money for your college education!), plot some type of mass violence (the key here is to let them find out like you don't know; like letting them find a school hit list or map in your laundry). You could pretend to be suicidal, and like almost be hit by a car every time you go to school (this dose take practice though, so be careful).
Well anyway, I am sure that other FK members can give more suggestions. Of course, the advice you receive in the coffee lounge should never be actually applied in real life, you know that right? Just a disclaimer...

I am never taking you fishing again. All you do is get the line tangled up!

hey, once i caught a big fish, even though u had 2 reel it in because i dropped the pole. but who cares about the specifics. and thx for the advice zacvin, the disclaimer i knew, and just a quick question. i was walking in the mall and found a program called "linux for windows" i mean, i get the point but that kind of defeats the purpose and is contradicting. okay, gtg, 7 minutes left online, HAHA!

You're 14, you have your whole life ahead of you to be a slave in front of a computer. Enjoy being able to do whatever you want while you still can.

That is quite a creative idea!
Actually, I did something similar. My mom bought this old Pentium I computer a while back for like $50. It was shocking the owner, so he was glad to get rid of it. Of course all it needed was the power supply replaced, which I got for about 25, and but it in. After that, I got it up and running, but old win95 is so buggy, that in about an hour I formatted the HD, and installed linux instead. Now I still have root, but my mom and siblings have regular accounts. Very cool.
