This kind of software my Dad's getting - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

G-Force Glockstar · 07-26-2004, 09:23 PM

I'm only allowed on the computer one hour a day, and I've always been abusing that privilige. So a few days ago my Dad gave me a final warning and said the next time I go over my limit, he'll take the computer our of my room and I probably won't get it for over 2 years!!
So he said he's getting this software where you can track down everyone you've been on the computer (internet and desktop), and it also tells my Dad how long I've been on it each day.
That means I might not be able to come here anymore because he might not like it here. But I hope he doesn't get that software!!
And I got a question about it. Can that software see your type in your password, and register, and type in a website address?
If you can, tell me all about that software. I'm so disappointed now!
I'm the biggest obsesser in the world, and I don't even get to be on it very much at all

When I'm 18, do u think I'll have alot more time to work on the computer?
Or will I have to work alot.
I hope the best then!

It would help to know what the software's name is.

Anyway... there are programs that track everything you do. You only have to look into the History to see every website you have been on today.

When you get 18, you'll probably either be working several hours a day or be in college and working some. Unless your rich, you won't make it without working. You won't be able to afford a computer anyway.

That does NOT mean you won't have time on the computer though. Just look at fellow college students on here and how much they post(like Miss Vicki).

Sorry, he didn't tell me the name of the software.

We wouldn't know unless we knew which software it is.. but if it can see you type in your password it won't matter because notice that when you type it in the characters come out as *'s, so he wouldn't be able to see what you type.

When my mom threatened to get software for me, she said it can decode passwords. so it might see your password.

key logger programs capture every keystroke you make, so they can easily be used to get your usernames and passwords

dont sweat it so much FullHouseFan8795, just try to stay within your parents guidelines and hopefully they will give you more freedom as you get older and proove that you deserve their trust - or until we know what the name of the proggy is so we can crack it

Depends on if you go to college, what classes you take...

Or what job you get...

Or if you have a boyfriend...

Or if you have other activities...

Eventually, your dad is going to have to break down...When you get to high school, you're going to have those big, lovely papers that are so affectionately called "term papers", or for most people, "research papers". It will require the use of Microsoft Word and the internet to look up information.

And believe me...that takes more than 1 hour/day to do.

perfectly legal on your own computers - companies use them all the time too, it's their hardware and resources you are using so it is within their legal rights, as much as anyone dislikes it

(same thing applies to companies that read employee's emails - perfectly legal but wrong)

I'm gonna try to be a script writer for Hollywood as my job, so I'll probably be on the computer all day doing scripts and other fun things that I want!

I don't think I'll ever have a boyfriend. All the boys call me ugly, but the girls say I'm pretty.

Anything is possible. And chances are you're not ugly. You're at an age where people's appearance is changing so a lot of people go through a homely stage around 13. Usually people are cute little kids, they go through a homely stage at 12-14, and come out looking good again

You don't suppose this has anything to do with it?

Has that happened to anyone else?

But if he gets the software and you go over the limit and he takes the computer away, wouldn't that be a waste of money spent on software that will never get used again?
