All I have to say to that is, "Moof!"

Btw, our deprived teen seems to have disappeared.

That rules!!

This guy has a lot of icons that may work, but they change color and that may be a problem.

As for the sound, go to the sound palette and pick no sound from the drop down menu.

Some parents are like that, they are not the majority but their out their.

And Evan that picture is awesome!

Perhaps you should speak to your Dad about talking to friends and respecting your privacy first before going off behind his back... honesty is the key.

I'm a 19 year old who had parents that wouldn't let me near an IM app when I was younger. They're fine with it now (they have been for a few years now), but little did they know I'd be contributing code to a chat program :-)

well.. be glad at least that your dad didn't link up a remote monitor like mine has..

the imac (g3/400) i use is in his study, along with his flashy emac (800).. the main imac unit is beside the emac, and he hooked up a 17" screen to a separate table with usb extension. so now this room looks like it has 3 computers when it really only has 2.. fooled lots of people, i can tell u that..

i got to use the external monitor and extended keyboard and mouse, and 've asked him a few times to switch the monitor with the imac, since i'd rather use a 15" screen than have him continuously being able to sneak a peek at what i'm doing (the rez is only 1024 anyway..) but obviously he declines everytime..

it's been about a year now so i've kinda given up on switching machines, and i'm used to the idea of him watching the screen (i'm not sure how much he does anyway), but i'm still trying to find a way to disable the internal imac screen (via software, not pulling cables out or stuff) while the external screen keeps running.. and be able to activate the internal screen at anytime.. anyone know if that's possible?

wouldn't there be a possibility to change resolutions as to screw up one of both screens? (an iMac shouldn't be able to handle 75Hz but a newer screen does)

Your dad cares, and you're calling him stupid?

wtf

This thread makes no sense at all. Locky?

Fo shizzle. If your dad doesn't want you to use it, maybe he's got a good reason. Like maybe Al Quaida's brainwashing kids who disobey their parents and use IM to do their evil biddings, and your dad is actually a secret government agent, which is obviously how he knows this stuff. Now that I put my two and a half cents in, and before it gets anymore ridiculous...LOCKY PLEASE!!! *dances with lock that SHOULD show up*

There is a point where you need *trust* otherwise you all you do is foster animosity. Yeah your kid is safe, but you're paranoid and over-stressed. You also need to prepare kids to be responsible for when you're not around. I can't tell you how many kids I've seen come to college, being sheltered and controlled all through childhood, and just go nuts with no idea on how to be responsible on their own.

Back on topic, don't do anything to make it worse like use Adium secretly.

But parents tend to not be all paranoid without being pressured to by their children which give them good reason to.

Same reason I gave in another thread:

Angst.

Except this time it's not hilariously wrong to have angst, being an adolescent/teen.

I don't understand this new obsession with locks.

I think we all just find the dancing lock amusing. Or at least, I know I do.

Exactly! No need to lock it, just post a pic of the dancing lock. Somewhere...maybe a sticky post or something...but no need to go to all that extra work, I got it somewhere on my HD, I think.

Yeah. If he finds out, "Yousa be's in biiiig doodoo dis time" (for lack of a better quote, plus Gungans are about the only "intelligent" life-form that I have anywhere near the mental capacity of at the moment ).
