how much does this suck?

[Zondaboy1]

yes, this is on my home computer.
my dad did it because he thinks cars are 'affecting my grades' but school just let out for summer and i've been on it for a week. i still fail to see how cars are affecting my grades... its more of stuff like lazynes that is affecting my grades and i dont know what he's smoking, but i've been getting the same grades the last 2 or 3 years :confused:

sucks doesnt it

[RaptoR]

Sorry man.... that really sucks.... sucks bad... I think that your dad has some miss judgement issues

[Wolf03]

And I bet the XXX sites are not blocked...:rolleyes:

EDIT: Anyways, does he have a password on the settings? If he does...I think it wouldn't be a problem to find a programs which will bypass it.

[Souljah]

shutdown norton....:D

[Guest]

um, tried closing Norton?

[Ferrer]

um, tried closing Norton?
Um, tried reading previous post?

[NSXType-R]

How'd you get on UCP then?

[ZeTurbo]

ucp must be under "Supercars":p

[:Exige:]

How'd you get on UCP then?
It would be almost impossible for Norton to scour the whole internet for every automotive website.

There are a few things you can try ...

1) Download another browser with proxy options such as Maxthon and then change it to 'No Proxy' mode.

2) type Maserati.com instead of http://www.maserati.com

3) Theres some proxy websites on the internet that allow you to type the url for the website into their website and then it opens that website using a modified URL, and thus doesn't get found ... I can't remember the name but I'm sure someone here uses em.

You get used to finding ways around filtering software when you enter college :D

[ZeTurbo]

you are all being a bad infuence on him... tsk tsk tsk....

[Zondaboy1]

i dont know how i get on ucp its just not blocked.. how do i close norton? everything is blocked prettymuch, vehicles, religion, travel, real estate, humor, entertainment, news, sports, sex ed 1 2 and 3, all sorts of xxx sites, tobbacco/alchol, drugs 1 and 2, adult humor, occult, new age. everything but education and mail

yes he does have a password on the settings and i am [ ] close to hacking into that, you see he has a usb drive with a spreadsheet of every password passport number email creditcard number and all that but its protected too. i know its 6 letters. im thinking of trying one of those 'nicholas cage in national security' stunts where i give him something coated in invisible ink and steal the password that way

[IWantAnAudiRS6]

Dude, think yourself lucky that UCP slipped through the net! :p

[blingbling]

[Piacki_117]

hahahah :D


bad luck!

[Zondaboy1]

I am curious as to what stunt are you talking about?where he gives a lady who has access to a password protected area [yes with a keyboard] and that thing is coated with invisable ink and she types it in and he sneaks up there and hacks into it using the location of the fingerprints showing up under the black light...

[RazaBlade]

guys, stop teaching him bad things to do! his dad will be even more angry when he finds hes got around him

second, you say its not cars its laziness, so your grades arent all they could be? Im guessing some major exams are coming your way soon, your dads only trying to help. sorry for being the only mature (or annoying as it may seem) but hes only doin it for you.

And chat to him about it, not us!!

[my porsche]

give him something coated in invisible ink and steal the password that way
how does that work?

And im gonna laugh if your dad also tracks the sites you go to and finds this thread :p Goodbye freedom.

[IWantAnAudiRS6]

His dad is a control freak... he's pretty much restricted all his 'Net access. I'm surprised that Google still functions.

Oh, and if you want, I can send you a filterbreaker! I have a great one.

[Zondaboy1]

a filterbreaker would be wonderfull

[Fermish]

I too wonder what your dad is smoking because forums are about much more than just cars. There are off topic sections which he probobly doesn't know about. Since I joined my first forum a few years ago(Fast-Autos.net) I've learned countless things there that ahve helped me at school.

It's a very nice bonus to all the car knowledge that goes into your head.

[Zondaboy1]

hes not pissed about UCP i think its more that he's pissed about me browsing car sites in my free time. i dont see whats so wrong about browsing car sites in MY free time. its not like i do it 24 -7 or while i'm doing my homework

[IWantAnAudiRS6]

a filterbreaker would be wonderfull
OK, I'll post a link for it here tomorrow. You might not be able to access MySpace or online email with it, but I definitely made UrbanDictionary and some porn sites work at college :p

[The_Canuck]

Lol blocked maserati?

[Zytek_Fan]

Download Firefox and hide it (your dad can't block sites on Firefox :D)

[Guest]

Um, tried reading previous post?i had the page open for a while before responding, your post slipped through the net!

[6'bore]

Um, tried reading previous post?

OWNED :D

[cmcpokey]

i'd reccomend the old Ctrl-Alt-Del, and either shutting down the norton program, or closing the active process

[Cotterik]

before you know it your father will be blocking all websites containing the word 'life'

[clutch-monkey]

do what cmcpokey said. ctr-alt-del
then:

Get over it, they are just cars.

[my porsche]

buy a magazine.


although the other things he blocked looks like all you can access is UCP! Guess you'll be spending alot of time here! :p

[blingbling]

how does that work?Excuse me, but it seems to me that you reply on impulse. Had you read ...
where he gives a lady who has access to a password protected area [yes with a keyboard] and that thing is coated with invisable ink and she types it in and he sneaks up there and hacks into it using the location of the fingerprints showing up under the black light.You would not have replied with such negligence?

Here is a crazy idea, why don't you work on getting your grades up?!!! :rolleyes:

That way you can see what ever web site you want and you'll increase your chances of actually owning your dream cars some day. :)

[my porsche]

I'm not sure exactly what your problem with me is, but the only two posts of yours I've noticed have been criticisms of either something I've said, or how I've said something.

I don't know if you have a life outside the computer, but sometimes you start a reply, get up to attend to a real world issue and come back to continue your response, and while you were typing, other people have made responses. It's a simple explanation, no negligence involved.

[baddabang]

I was going to say the same.

He said that his grades were the same to past couple of years, If your grades are low you should be glad your pops blocked these sites.

[Rockefella]

Talk to your dad about it, without bitching and moaning. Argue certain points in your favor, while agreeing with him about his motives. At least that way, you can try and earn back the priveleges, and if not, you compromise.

If you need debatable points, you have tons of active members here ready to help.

[IBrake4Rainbows]

This might be rubbing it in, but when my Grades suffered my Dad bought me a computer (I had to pay half of it) so I could get my assignments done on time.

It worked, I'm now doing better than ever :)

[blingbling]

It's a simple explanation, no negligence involved.Something you have said or how you have said something? Wow, two seemingly uncoincidental characteristics of two whole posts! What a inconceivable connection. It is like walking out onto the streets, seeing two automobiles, formulating the conclusion "The only two vehicles I have seen was a compact, or a minivan!", and expecting to be endowed some kind of award for such blatant observations.

If you can not see that my problem is your problem, there is clearly more than one problem that you must deal with. It is understood, now, that you just happened to reply twice in the same day, with a "getting up" session in between, but that does not mean it incapacitates you to see where I was coming from.

I had thought that I was giving constructive criticism to help you, but, clearly, some people are simply too static for such things.

I just read that, and the whole time I was thinking.. what's the point?

So he missed out on ZondaBoy's post regarding the whole 'invisible ink' stunt, maybe we should ban My Porsche / Colin for being an idiot!

You OBVIOUSLY have some sort of vandetta against someone or something, so I figured I'd remind you of its stupidity.

[DesmoRob]

There was a previous thread where someone, can't remember who gave us this site: www.pagewash.com. When you're on there, you type in the site you want to go to into the little slot, then check all the boxes and such that make it so no cookies are collected or whatever.

[clutch-monkey]

why do your parents know your grades? they should be kept in the dark. mine only ask questions when the police arrive/i go missing for a week

[drakkie]

This might be rubbing it in, but when my Grades suffered my Dad...

... hit me in the face after an argument and i hit him back within five minutes he was on the floor with a hole in the fence(he fell on/through). I didn't return home for 3 days :(:(


why do your parents know your grades? :D:D:D

Kinda hard to hide them when your mum works on school :(

[IWantAnAudiRS6]

Here you go Zondaboy, this is your filterbreaker, use it wisely (http://purposebuilt.brinkster.net/bit2/filterbreak/index.php?q=aHR0cDovL2dvb2dsZS5jb20v&hl=1111101001)

[CCV10M]

LOL I didnt know that site was blocked.

[6'bore]

LOL I didnt know that site was blocked.

Which site? :confused:

[my porsche]

You OBVIOUSLY have some sort of vandetta against someone or something, so I figured I'd remind you of its stupidity.
It all started because I can afford an iPod, as can half of the living population, as evidenced by the fact that almost everyone I know and have seen in London/Houston/Dublin/Seattle/Any Other big city I've been to since they came out has had one. And it angered him that I reasoned to myself that to pay twice the price of getting mine fixed and have a working one, now with video was worth it. Did that make sense? :p

Yeah I should be banned because he thinks I'm "too static" to understand simple things. Ouch. Do it! Ban me Rocke :D

[blingbling]

I just read that, and the whole time I was thinking.. what's the point?

You OBVIOUSLY have some sort of vandetta against someone or something, so I figured I'd remind you of its stupidity.Well I do believe that banning is overkill for something that is clearly not against the rules. What harm is there from constructive criticism? The point may not be as important to you, but I pointed it out anyways. I admit, it must seem like I have some sort of vendetta but I sincerely do not.
as can half of the living populationBut things like this I must correct. Half of the "living population" subsists are just over $2 USD per day, hardly enough to afford an iPod.

[johnnynumfiv]

Please shut up Mr. Analyzer.

[my porsche]

Half of the "living population" subsists are just over $2 USD per day, hardly enough to afford an iPod.
Hey! Over 6 months, they could have enough for a 60GB iPod. Where they get the music is up to them. :D And maybe I was talking about the OTHER half of the living pop.? :p

Really though, im not sure if anglo is your 2nd lango, but you need to understand what a hyperbole is.

And I find it hard to believe that over 3,000,000,000 people live on $2USD per day...anything to back that up?

[blingbling]

And I find it hard to believe that over 3,000,000,000 people live on $2USD per day...anything to back that up?Just because the other half can subsist on over $2 USD per day does not make them iPod-bound. English is my second language. I also know what a hyperbole is. :mad: But you were clearly mistaken, even if they were just implications.

According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poverty
The World Bank defines extreme poverty as living on less than US$ (PPP) 1 per day, and moderate poverty as less than $2 a day. It has been estimated that in 2001, 1.1 billion people had consumption levels below $1 a day and 2.7 billion lived on less than $2 a day.2.7 billion is around 45%, meaning 50% with "just over" (as I stated) $2 is a fairly well-made estimate.

I, again, question your lack of awareness. This is not difficult to believe, not even by a long shot. Millions of people die from poverty every year. The facts are there. It is somewhat frustrating for me to understand your reckless disregard of what seems sensible to most others.

[my porsche]

Millions of people die from poverty every year.
NO ONE dies from poverty. Ever. Fact. People die from complications caused by poverty, starvation, dirty water, inadequite health care, etc.

I knew what poverty was though, thanks.


But you were clearly mistaken, even if they were just implications.
Obviously you don't understand what a hyperbole is, if you thought those were "implications".

Here's a link for YOU.

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/hyperbole

[blingbling]

NO ONE dies from poverty. Ever. Fact. People die from complications caused by poverty, starvation, dirty water, inadequite health care, etc.Well since we are teaching each other about tools in speach, you should know that that was an implication. You can anally argue that bullets do not kill people, it is complications caused the IMPACT of a bullet to a human skull that kills people. Blatantly obvious...

Thanks for introducing me to what a hyperbole is though.

[IBrake4Rainbows]

Complications resulting from Poverty...Usually link Poverty as a contributing factor to this poor person's death.

Lack of sustenance causes organ failure. DIRECT link.

/End argument.

It's actually quite a cold train of thought - almost laywer worthy.

are you saying that half the living populations income is $2 USD per day? Im confused as to weather this is what they make or what they are able to spend.

Elaborate:)
