Younger brothers just always win, you don't stand a chance. Sorry. My Brothers had to learn the same lesson
What the HELL are you talking about? Are you really naive enough or narcissistic enough to believe your LITTLE brother has agents everywhere? And that if he did, in fact, have a bankroll that would purchase said agents that he would waste them on monitoring you? And no, you're wrong, in asking for help you have already lost; if anyone actually gives you the solution to the Sphinx's--I mean, your brother's--riddle, it will have been their smarts, not yours. Being smart enough to ask others on the interwebs for help doesn't count...it just makes you seem a fop. How could you--Exo-Mike said:
Oh, oh, wait. For a whole minute there, I was actually engaged in the belief that you really needed help against your malevolent little brother's evil machinations to make your life hell, HELL, HELL I TELL YOU! But now I just realized that this entire thread is simply a plea for attention by letting the rest of everywhere know that you have multi-box Sky in your home. Congratulations on your superior status and disposable income. I hope the nature of your brother's threat [the one you'll never expect and can't counter] is a thing called a ball-peen hammer.
Ah, passive-aggressive brotherly love...
Like-for-like usually holds sway here - find something he uses as frequently as you do Sky movies and threaten his control over it one way or another. Then, if you call each other's bluff and do it anyway, it's usually a battle of attrition over who sees how childish yet completely necessary it is first...

Whenever I outsmarted my older brother he used to put me in to some kind of wrestling pin which he called 'the position'. I was pretty young at the time and called it 'the pidgeon'.
You pretty much lie the person on the ground and roll their legs over their head and hold them down their a while.
...it worked on me

destroy or sabotage his computer PROBLEM SOLVED!!!!
PS you could also paint his bike pink or something like that

Maybe, if you can get access to his computer, install a VNC program then hide the icon in the tray, then go back to your computer and he goes to use his start browsing the web and open pages and all that crap, and he won't know what is going on.
Or, if you're really feeling like a dick, write up a batch file and stick it in his start folder, so when he turns his computer it starts deleting his shit or opens up some weird programs or something.

As an only child, I may not be the best informed, but here's what you do: Ask him.. not to?
Seriously man, if you live together obviously you don't have a burning hatred of each other. If he makes the first move and DOES do it (somehow), go nuts with pranks.

A good idea but I think that's raising the stakes a little to high at this point.Wolf-AUS said:
Just spoken to him and he can't keep a secret, he's told me that he has online access to the Sky account, thats how he plans to shut me off
Thanks for all the great ideas I will definately use some of them in the future, it's only a matter of time before we butt heads again
I could just be crazy but I seem to recall that it was actually originally known as duck tape and later became known as duct tape.Armored Prayer said:

However, there are several things you could do. Firstly, let's think about exactly what your problem is: Your little brother is threatening you with an ability to disable something you like. Let's treat it like a weapon scenario. Person A threatens person B (that's you) with a secret device capable of damagin/destroying/disabling something person B likes, potentially so they can use this to influence person B. To stop this, there are a few steps:
1: Disable device - Find out what it is he plans to use to do this, and stop it from being able
to perform that function. It may be a private computer. In which case confiscating it, or removing the software capable of performing that function solves the problem. Infecting the computer would work too but i'm not going to reccomend or condone that.
2: Disable system - If this can be done with the internet as he hinted, remove his ability to access the internet. Be inventive.
3: Counter threat with Mutual assured destruction. Find something he likes, find a way to take it from him and threaten him with it if he uses his device
Any of the above three will work, hope i've been of service.
