GTA III Vice city

[JP Dogberry]

I remember the time in Year nine, when we discovered a little program called "WinPopup" this would send a short (30 character) message to any box on the network. It was near impossible to tell who it came from, and you'd click ok to get rid of it.

The teacher has his computer on a projector, and gets up to help someone, and isn't looking at it. Five minutes later he gets back. So many messages have piled up on the machine he has to restart to get rid of them all.

Installing a BSOD Screensaver on my Boss' machine and discovering later that he formatted his machine as he thought he had a fubar system

Remaping the people I dont like to Printers on the other side of the building

Enforcing Strict mailbox sizes while I still have 100GB Data free on the Mailserver

Sneaking a Wireless dorbell into the drop ceiling over the VP's Desk, then pressing the button in my pocket durring meetings and pretending I dont hear anything

Not nearly as creative as you guys are, but one we used to do on our summer college interns:

Take a screen grab of their desktop
Remove all icons and hide the taskbar
Set the grab as the desktop wallpaper
Frustration ensues

I've done that before.

I've also edited the mouse images so that the hand uses its middle finger instead of the index when it points and just swapped shortcut targets.

Although I don't have admin rights at work, I can pull some of that stuff off. That is classic! There will be some fun to night if my NUBs forget to log off thier accounts!

Move the login box to the bottom corner.

Change monitor settings so the little bit you can still see is offscreen.

Easily beaten, but fun anyway.

We went to HoldtheButton.com, put a book on the mouse, and left it in the computer labs for a week before someone moved it.

We also found this weird cage thing, and put one of the computer monitors in it, so it was sitting in a cage, on the desk. We took bets on how long it would stay there. This was in mid 2003. It's still there.

Not that you have to try too hard with people who effectively know nothing about compters. We do fun stuff like make a powerpoint slide of the screen and disable clicking. The person goes crazy trying to figure out whats wrong with the mouse.

Of course we also used the command line to netsend stuff to peoples accounts, like, "you have been caught looking at pornography on your account. Your command has been notified."

Or "your computer has encountered a critical systems error, reboot system in safe mode immediately."

When they lose 3 hours of work because they dont save as they go we get a good chuckle...
