This demonic application was concieved to limit one's computer time.
Dad installed it onto mine.
Now my computer is limited to 3 hours a day. LAME.

It's horrible. I hate it. I HATE IT. I HATE IT.

I HATE IT.

...

GOD DAMMIT I HATE IT.

Uh, three hours isn't that bad. I mean, if you're online for much longer than that, you need to get out and do something anyway, IMO.

Wow, that SUCKS. I leave my computer running all day.

I hate parents that put SUPER tight leases on their children. Fuck that. I will NOT be THAT parent.

yeah, just get a PPC live CD. Then go in and delete the program files... the program can't stop you if Mac OSX isn't running....

and then when it fails to run, you can act all puzzled if your dad notices.

On a schoolday.

Wake up. Use computer for 30 minutes. Go to school.
Get home. Use computer for 3-4 hours. Eat dinner. Use computer for 3-4 hours. This is an uneventful day. I could be at the arcade, or an internet cafe...

Of course, on a summer day, you can cut that school thing out entirely and just have me on my computer for another 7 hours.

I mean that, too. I did that today. It wasn't unlike any other day this summer.

I see only one option, Empy.

You must kill your father

I'm very sad.
Now I can't do puzzle pirates things safely anymore, since they can go on for an undefined amount of time.
If only there's a way to get airport to work in OS9.

Empy: Get this, burn it to a CD, reboot your computer with the CD in, and it should boot in Ubuntu linux. It's easy to use, just find the program file for the "mac minder" and move/delete/rename it. If OSX can't find the program, it can't start, and can't limit your time.

If it won't let you delete it, there's probably an included IRC client. Go to the IRC channel and someone'll probably be there that can help you.

You might have to hold down ctrl or something at start up to select the disc instead of OSX, mind you.
