I actually have a phone line in my room...

Tempted to grab a router cheap and plug it in, use it after my dad's blocks come on.

But for now, I'm just accepting em.

I have to give your dad a big credit for doing this. Honestly. It means that he cares for you and thinks what's best for you. It might not seem that way, but he does not want you to get addicted to net usage and forces you to take care of your obligations and do something else related to real life.

There are way too many parents out there who just settle getting the stuff for their kids so that they shut up and don't bother them. No wonder those families grow apart when they don't spend time together talking.

Well, when you get to their age and situation you'll be imitating your dad in great many things you now dislike him for. You'll be the tight-*ss configuring the router then:D

Flying under radar.

Outsmart him. However much he cares for you, the simple fact of the matter is that he is probably wrong. Despite what my parents would believe the internet has never made my grades suffer and, in general, you're a much more responsible person than I am...give that little router hell:D

EDIT: Is This it?

That's quite a pathetic password, tbh.

Interesting. I'll see if any of my Linux-fluent friends know anything about it. I can't look the thing straight on, but they usually know something or other...

And here is the other problem in most families nowadays.

Disobey your father, and eventually he will catch you. Your dad is a computer person and he knows what he is doing. You will only end up loosing internet completely if you try this. Worth the risk? Doubt it.

If my child disobeyed me directly like that, there would be hell to pay.

Sorry Epyon. BAD advice.

Eppy I am disappointed in you, I expected better.

Now for another perspective. When I was your age I spent all my time on the computer. Turned me into a bloody nerd. Until my father started limiting my time on the PC, and made me get out and do other things. I never liked team sports (coz they're all a**holes) but I found other outlets, like bushwalking and karate. Such that I wouldn't be an unfit, weak, overweight bully target.

Think about it: the time you spend whining about this and that and trying to beat your old man, you could actually be furthering your life in some other fashion. Just be a man.

When I was a kid, I only outsmarted my parents about 1/2 the time.

At 8 yrs old, cable boxes had a key that scrambled the premium channels & my parents would lock them out all the time before leaving for work & take the key w/ them...I got sick of that & started to lock the channels before they left, & would flip to cartoons & wait for them to leave the house...when they turn the lock & take the key, they never realized they were unlocking it for me for months...I got sick of all the effort that took & eventually had another key made.

But, my parents also had a habit of coming up to me at random intervals & would say: "Alright Kev, we want you to tell us in your own words what you did, & what you think your punishment should be."

every single time I would be forced to mentally go through my prolific rolodex of wrongdoings, & every single time I would fearfully spout numerous things that they had absolutely no clue I did.

no matter how sly you are, I recomend that you disregard eppy's advice because no one is ever really as smart as they think they are.

...parents & kids alike.

hahahaha:laugh:

I can actually picture you, Kev, a little kid standing there and sweating.....
"uh... um... I'm sorry for... breaking your favourite vase? No? How about denting the car? No? Um....."

and then:

"My punishment should be to eat ice cream until I'm sick"
