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.
They aren't wrong.
If you can play EVE in moderation without gimping your performance at school then that is dandy - although really, speaking as someone who misspent their misspent youth on computer games I feel like I should point out there are much more fun things you could be doing with your time 
If on the other hand you couldn't then it would be your parents responsibility to see to it that you did spend your time in a productive manner.
Imagine you had a son. Imagine instead of doing his schoolwork he spent all his time pew pewing in imaginary spaceships. What would you do about that?
You've got to do something. Education isn't everything but not having one is a good way of shooting yourself in the foot as far as a career goes (yes. I know some people do fine without one. They are generally more talented and motivated than your hypothetical son is).
