    I was banned from using computers at my highschool for hacking. I installed Firefox. Turns out the parental control program the school used only worked on Internet Explorer, so you could visit any site you wanted with Firefox. Hackerman!

      My parents installed “Net Nanny” to keep me from watching porn or spending too much time on the internet as a middle-schooler. (Trust me, they’re good and accepting parents.) Anyway, I figured out that all you had to do was not click “okay” on the startup-induced message window and Net Nanny never started the controls or timer.
