    Disconnect your computer, throw it in the trunk of your car or in a closet, then just say it broke and you sent it out for repairs. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Luckily I don't get that for a few reasons:

    A: Since primary school I've been setting up computers so people know that I know what I'm doing.

    B: I'm bigger than most of the people in my school (most senior year) and if they distract me from my work...

    C: I keep an eye on the queue during lunch time in school a couple of times per week. If someone has been annoying me I can send them to the very end of the queue. If a teacher asks me why I did it I just say they were either skipping or causing trouble. Since I'm a responsible, respectable (I'll stop now) sixth year prefect I get away with it <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo--> <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    You could try and hide the downloaded installation file or restricting the URL you would DL it from.

    You know, I'm starting to get the feeling that coding a program that makes the PC 'accidentally' lock up every ten minutes whenever someone opened a program such as MSN could make you a very rich man from the donations alone...

    Install Win2k. Make yourself an admin. Make him a grovelling, snivelling toe-biter.

    Why not just make a batch file that deletes msn every time windows starts?

    If I caught kids cheating on my PC I'd lecture them on cheating so much they'd never even come within a mile of my machine ever again. I loathe cheating like captain Ahab loathed Moby **** <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Thats the thing. If its a sibling, teach them better. If they are a clueless nublar, its your own **** fault. Tell them that certain things are bad for the computer. Downloading so and so would ruin this and that. Scare then with spyware paranoia. Explain why cheats are bad and how it makes them look like the nubs that they are, and what the consequences are. In the case of the HL key, TELL them that they owe you 20 bucks (I know those monsters were not your siblings, you cant do anything about them). Nothing is going to change if you just whine about it here, show them the way and save yourself some grief.


    As for kids that you have no control over...pocket your mouse. They cant do anything without the mouse. And passwording your system is just a good thing to do.

    sonic: yes, install trillian (or miranda) and completely wipe msn from your system. The contacts are stored server side, so once you start the alternate messenger, the contacts would come right back. No msn, no msn 'plus!'

    It happens, Your best bet is like coil said: Lock your computer right down with windows 2K/XP pro. If you really hate someone, but need to allow them to use your computer just give them a account with very few privileges. You can also prevent access to the internet by enabling the content advisor for that profile (Only with IE)

    I really hate the new generations of kids.

    I swear, it must be the newer games that are played by 10 year olds.

    A combination of a bunch of factors had an adverse effect on many of the newer generations. Hell, when I was 12 and at a LAN party, I wouldn't even consider screaming *you suck ******!!!*.

    It's funny though, where I go to play sometimes, if the owners see a kid screaming and ranting a lot, they don't care if he gets shoved around a bit by the older people. Personally, just tell them to shut up, and have fun.

    I remember being at my local LAN pub and having to sit by while an 11 year old screamed obscenities and insults at the top of squeeky little voice for 15 minutes.

    Finally when he screamed "OH my god you suck, you idiot!" (cleaned up version) the 17 year old sitting next to him smacked him upside the head. The kid gave him this wide eyed expression like a deer in headlights then shut up for the rest of the time : )

    Proving once again that violence solves everything. So if you see a brat in public feel free to take their parenting into your hands.

    wow, older people beating up on little kids. *clap* thats really pathetic. the only time i beat up some smaller kid was cause he punched me in the face. so i choke slammed him into the cement, placed my knee on his neck an repeatedly punched him in the face. he was 17 i was 20. i still felt bad.....cause he was YOUNGER. so i found his shoes, gave them to him an told him to go home. these kids you guys are talking about are like 7-12 they can be immature. i hope karma gets to you guys an someone older beats the white out of some of you. <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    The difference was that I wasn't a cheating twit who got jollies off of messing with people online when I was online. I'm totally justified in beating the mess out of the types of people I've loathed for the last 9 years, which started back when some guy was using a hacked character on a MUD to spam kill me when I was like 10.
  • dr_ddr_d Join Date: 2003-03-28 Member: 14979Members
    So you're saying that if a pissant 11 year old is screaming obscenities at the top of his lungs for 15 minutes we should do nothing because were older than him?

    It's not like the guy broke his leg, he slapped him in the back of the head. The pain was probably minimal but it sent a pretty clear message, and he stopped behaving like a brat.

    I don't exactly see anything horrible in that. I'm sure the guy could have called his parents, told them they needed to discipline their child more, accused them of being failed parents, then referred the kid to foster care, but after all it was just a LAN pub.

    Then they would say "MY CHILD? They dont do anything like that. You must be thinking of someone else."

    If a kid is being a smacktard, a see nothing wrong with giving him a quick 5 across the eyes.

    This is why i hate stereotypes.

    Around 95% of people i know older than 16 think anyone 14 and younger are squeaky voiced, insulting, hackers etc.

    Thats like saying every blonde is dumb.

    If someone does something wrong, you tell them to not do it again.

    If they do it again you find a way to stop them from doing it.

    In this case simply password your PC. If it isn't yours you have no right to stop them from doing what they want to it. You can try and prevent viruses from getting on it but you can't stop them from installing whatever they want.

    I'm pretty sure you wouldn't like to be smacked round the head everytime you did something wrong...

    Me to.

    But for blaming 10-14 year olds for hacks is just stupid.

    What if a country, lets say France, had the most hackers in the world. You wouldn't call every French person a hacker would you?

    Stop being stereotypical and if you have a problem with one specific person, talk to them about it. Don't blame a whole race/age group/gender/etc for your problems

    The fact is if the kid was 19 and been calling people roostersuckers and donkeyholes he'd probably get the living bejesus beat out of him. If no one ever does anything about it what do you think is going to happen to the kid the first time he calls a senior a name in highschool?

    I thought people had the right to free speech?

    As far as calling people "rooster"suckers thats just wrong. Its wrong to call people **** as an insult. Like calling people racist words... feel free to beat anyone up if they do something like that....
