Yes I am finally getting my own cpu but there is a catch.
my mom told me if I bring my grades up she will get me my own cpu which is awesome because my mom is always deleting my files and open source programs.
She also deleted firefox and limewire and she doesn’t want me to download no more stuff so yea.
The one problem is I wont be on as much as I normally do because I can only be on an hour a day.
Anybody had to go through this to get your own cpu?
no i just got mine when i started liking PC’s
yeah, when we only had one comp in the house me and my sister had to switch off every hour. then when i wanted to move to the basement my parents didnt trust me so i had to make some compromise, but that wore off in like2 weeks lol
No. I just told my mommy what I wanted, and it was understood that she had to work extra to pay for it…with a smile on her face.
Man… only one computer in the entire house? It hasn’t been that way here since… 1995 (or so…) (and that one computer was a Mac ;)).
I’ve got six computers in my room, including 4 that work (the other two are old Dells… hehe). One IBM Windows XP Professional notebook, one MacBook Pro (without bootcamp…), one Mini Mac, and one Dell Dimension 2400 that has SuSe on it.
One of the old broken Dells is the second computer we got (the one that made it so that we had more than one computer in the house). The second is my dad’s old business laptop.
My dad gave me the Thinkpad (IBM) notebook (it was his computer after the first Dell notebook) a few years ago when he got his PowerBook. I paid for the Mini myself with cash I’d gotten from the Christmas two months before. The Dell I split with my parents for my 13th (I think) birthday. The MacBook Pro I split with my dad… I paid half with saved up money, and my dad paid half for me working for him a ton.
We also have…
[list]
[]A Dell Dimension (XP) from about 3 years ago downstairs. It’s the “family” computer.
[]A Dell PowerEdge server running SuSe
[]My dad’s PowerBook
[]My brother’s IBM Thinkpad
[]At my brother’s apartment… he has a Dell Dimension desktop, and a HP (I think) tablet.
[]Last night my dad came home with a old IBM from my grandma’s house running Windows 98, but I think he’s about to put XP on it running IIS.
[*]Last week we lost another Windows server. It was bought for my uncle, and he just had it shipped here, first, so we could install stuff on it.

Heh. This post sounds stupid.
My point is… I’m amazed people still have one computer in their house. Especially anybody on this forum.
well I am tired of using the house cpu my files get lost or moved and it pisses me off.
I just want a cpu to call my own and I can use whenever I want.
Protest???
Buy a whole computer, not just a CPU! A CPU by itself is useless!
:lol: That’s what I was thinking… then I realized what he meant. 
God, nokrev. I thought my family was cool, but we only have 8 computers. 
Thanks for CRUSHING my DREAMS.
edit: your postcount is apocalyptic 
Well, we only have 9 working ones… at this moment.
[ot]Ha, nice catch with my post count![/ot]
Your mom actually touches your computer and messes with your stuff ? Touch my computer & die is the rule over here !
well its the house computer so she uses it too so she bought so technically its her computer.
But I use it more than anyone.
Well yea but still, she shouldn’t be messing with your stuff (that’s what I meant, just read my reply again and seemed kinda out of context indeed :P).
^oh I see I am very slow but she deleted stuff because the computer was going slow.
I get what you mean now sorry.

Make yourself an admin, then make her a non-admin user… then just chmod your files (or, if you’re on Windows, change the permissions in whatever way you can).
If you are using windows (with NTFS) file system on HDD make one user and directory for yourself. In this directory deny rights to Administrators group and grant it only to that your, password protected, user. Im sure your mom wont know how to take over rights to your folder =)
Then she might think he’s up to something :smirk2:
Not when he hides it somewhere in system32 folder and doesnt install SW for all users but just for him. She is simply not going to see anything 
And that he has his own password protected user? Everybody must respect something as privacy… and Im sure that it is also possible not to display his user in that startup list and acces it only after you log off, hit ctrl+alt+delete and type it directly there… wow, what a conspiracy
