Tech pranks

[Shawn]

TechTV offers a few beauties to try on your friends. Such as putting a script forcing computer shut down in the start-up folder.

That's just evil.

Anybody have experience with techish pranks?

Here's a few I've done, and the result.:

1) a switched around a classmate's mouse (inverted the sides)

Not a big prank whatsoever, but it can cause some real confusion. He thought there was something up with that shite, and gave the obligatory cursative when informed of the truth.

Good Fun

2) when their computer is off, switch the power source switch from 110 --> 220. It won't hurt the computer, but it won't boot either. It appears the computer is pooched.

Again, not a big prank to set up, just catch a friend's computer when off. Probably only good for a chuckle.

3) took a screen shot of a computer, loaded it as background, then removed or made all icons hidden. For the death stroke, drag the task bar to a different place on the screen. (ie. the top or a side that had few icons)

The best damn joke ever. Easy to do, hard to figure out. Just one bit of caution:

Do not try this shit on a spouse.

You will be a sad puppy if they take it the wrong way.

I suppose I have also had a few of those shite programs that tell the user they are deleting the hard drive, but they are too easy to spot.

Anyone else?
