Take the tour ×  I use SelfControl quite frequently for
completing homework and such, but at school, while I was away
from my keyboard at the white board, my friend thought it would
be funny to set the timer to 10 hours. I am currently using a
proxy to ask this question. Is there any way to disable this
useful, but inflexible application?  share|improve this question
As a note, you should have your computer to ask for a password
before making changes. So when I activate my self control
program, i have to put my password in first. This will prevent
unauthorized of the program. –  Honor Jun 14 at 15:34 add
