anyone know how to hide eve once i install it so my dad cant find it in the add/remove programs and the registry and any other way someone with decent computer knowledge can easily find it, but still be able to unpack it to play and pack it up again without too much hassle... id appreciate it so I can keep my eve addiction going while going to school :p
As a parent, I would recommend talking to your dad about it. Address his concerns which are no doubt making sure your homework gets done and so on before you sign on to EvE.
Of course, you can go behind his back, get caught, get punished then whine about it and be immature, but why not man up and try to act like an adult?
If my son snuck behind my back without even trying to be reasonable about it first, he wouldn't touch a PC for a while. If he "needed" to for school it would be only under direct supervision.
Responsibility is a hell of a thing. Develop it.
Meh.. it's all well and good to say that as a parent, and especially one who actually does care to play eve/computer games. I don't watch TV and the only computer game I play is Eve, be it for many hours some days. That, for my parent's is weird and beyond comprehension.
Well whatever you do, be sure not to ever engage your parents so that each of you better understands the other. They're probably incapable of understanding anyway since they're like, older than the interwebs. Much better for you to just hide from them for hours in make-believe land.
2nd post is truth -- unfortunately, most people learn only from direct experience.

Sad reality is... nothing there is an exaggeration. Not one thing.
I used to think the 'tech humour' was all people joking about 'user stupids'.
Then I got a job in IT.
Oh hell. People really _are_ that thick.
And they have drivers licenses.
My personal favourite has to be the guy who brought a laptop in with tyre marks on it. And complaint it 'wasn't working'.
When asked 'what happened' his response was 'nothing, it just stoppped'.
Our helldesk tech looked knowingly, and said 'ah yeah, might be the pirelli virus. It's been doing the rounds lately'.
I find you can isolate most problems to a bad KTCI (keyboard-to-chair interface).
