Crikey Scrammer. You do have some good points about killing education and the future of a player.
I honestly think not only players need to be responsible for their gaming addiction or habit but CCP needs to provide and promote healthy gaming experience to protect players from themselves.
Parents could set game limit per day in the account in guardian/parent mode.
CCP could send hourly message to the chat windows in the client that says "You have played for X hour."
Or code something that the character will temporary lose skill efficiency at 5% after every hour of gaming until the player rests for an hour or two.
Healthy gaming experience is a big thing in MMOs.

Caffeine, sugar, and spare time are all you need for a healthy mmo experience.

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
1. Install EVE
2. Copy the CCP folder on your hard drive after installation
3. Remove the EVE-Online installation via the windows add/remove software
4. Paste the CCP folder to where ever you want to hide it
As far as your system knows, eve is no longer installed. But this still works just fine.

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.
LOL if my dad ever tried to do that when i was a teen id punch him or poison his food! Your training your kids to be sheep. You should never respect an authority figure who tells you to do something that you believe is wrong.
I would get a program like "encrypted magic folders" which is very very stealthy. Most adults are petty control freaks, myself included.

I miss the days of the "Boss Key"
EVE Launcher has boss key functionality built into it. It's quite handy 
Anyway, as others have said, try and talk to your dad about it. Chances are he'll have more respect for you and allow you to play EVE (in moderation) knowing that you're being up front an honest with him.

Thank you no. People can get some personal responsibility and the ones who cant handle things themselves will be weeded out of the species. Its not anyones responsibility to save you from yourself. Live free or die.

Get your education mate, seriously.
You can pwn people on EVE aferwards. Oh yeah and you can have more fun after education (Uni is great, but a serious drag in the money department), cos well you'll have lots of money and can goto expensive drug parties with hot blondes.

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).

questions needs an answer :
Quote:
Add and Remove
Hide selective programs/applications listed in Add or Remove:
Go to Start/Run/Regedit and navigate to this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
Local the program in question in the left pane. In the right pane, right click DisplayName and select rename: Add Quiet so it will read:
QuietDisplayName. No reboot or refresh needed. Open Add or Remove - the listing is now gone. To revert, rename back to DisplayName.
i dont judge nor endorse this product. typed it in google. if it works, have le fun. rest is your business :p

Secrecy is the best way =) No teenage kid is 100% straight with the parents thats fact, anyone who thinks differently is kidding themselves.
(sorry dislike yellow text)
your right, thats why I spy on my kids
I used to have a tracking program on their pc, that would send me a list of all the sites they went to and what not
thats how I knew they were going on sites even after they were told not to
but unfortunately for them, my router > their internet skills

yep, I work in operations
I spent one day arguing with a user that couldn't log onto a mainframe system because it was down
him> (with an India accent) I can't log on to TSOx
me> it's down for a like 16hr change
him> I can't log on
me> yes, it's down for a change
him> I can't log on
he kept calling back when I would hang up, and wouldn't take no for an answer
eventually I got one of my co-worker to take over, and they convinced him he was having a local access issue at his site and to call his local network admin

For those talking about missing lectures from gaming, I thought I should pass this on.
When I was an undergraduate I had a first year economics lecturer, specifically this man who taught us the most useful and suprisingly non-obvious thing for getting a degree.
Get to your lectures.
Seriously. You may have lost track of time and been drinking until 05:30 with a lecture at 9:00, you may be tired, hung over, high, (I think he added "I usually was" in there somewhere...) but none of this does as much damage to your chances of getting a good degree as letting them convince you not to turn up. So long as you're not actually sick in the lecture theatre just slump in the back. When you come to look at your coursework you'll remember things you didn't think you remembered and it will at least help you look up the right answer.
I followed his advice, drank too much, gamed too much, got to my lectures and am currently working on a government project with the potential of a doctorate at the end of it.
Of course you shouldn't do any of these things but if you weaken and do, don't compound your error by skipping lectures.

Point out the educational aspects of Eve. You can learn stuff from the game; point out that article by the economist dude CCP hired.
that's probably your best bet... if your parents don't "get it", explain the benefit in terms they can understand: MONEY and learning how to make it.... kiss up to the carebear merchant souls...
Schools weren't invented by kind people who wanted to further humanity or had any interest in making you smarter... Schools were invented at the onset of the industrial age, cause they needed worker bees who'd know how to crank out product after product and show up on time...
Its a good idea to do well in school, but not for the reasons people had in mind.
"in any social environment, the person with the most flexible behavior will eventually come to rule that environment." I forgot who said it, but it pretty much works that way.
So, surprise them... your only responsibility is not to anyone else's rules, not even your parents, your churches or your governments... it is to your own integrity.
If hiding software might compromise your integrity, its up to you to find out or predict. If you leave your integrity in a compromised state for long, it will gnaw on you like some kind of mental acid... you'll feel weak, lack energy, till you collapse into the same pathetic way way too many people live in modern society.
Hell, people play eve excessively cause the real world is getting on their nerves and they can't deal with it.

Yeah talking to him is your best bet. Second would be getting your own PC, you can build a good one pretty cheap now days.
But if you really want to go behind his back a flashdrive is your best bet. Be sure to change the default folder for where the games saves local data from the My Documents folder though. As that would be a bit of a give away.
On the parent note, I wouldn't allow my kid to have any more or less personal control over his computer use simply because he had his own computer than if he was using mine.
To the op, discuss it with your parents. Going behind their back will just lose you all computer access more than likely.
hmm, would you still need the dx9_d3d.dll (or whatever it's called)in the eve folder on the flash drive since Eve itself would not be registered in Windows?

Ah dude... I'd just hide the files by going into Start->Run->CMD
And then going typing in "attrib FILENAME +h"
Then the files are hidden and you don't really have to worry about it... then whenever you want to play you can unhide them by either choosing the option to show hidden files in windows explorer or changing the +h command into a -h.
